    Have you been looking in my wardrobe?

    Some of my T-shirts are last century purchases :rotfl:
    One I wore last week I wore throughout my pregnancy and DS2 is 18 yrs old.

    I think of them as "re-discovered vintage"

    I've still got a couple of jumpers I had when I was expecting DS and he is 19 !!!

    DH has a jumper he bought in C&A for skiing in 1983 and it gets worn regularly by both of us!!!!!!!! :rotfl:

    I still have a t shirt, that I wear every summer, that I had before i got married the first time in 1981. The other day one of the twins was wearing it, and as I am a size 10/12 and she is 16plus, I went mad at her, saying if she stretches it I will not be happy!! Yet I have probably got hundreds of tops. Varying in sizes from an 8 to a 14!! all depends on whether I am well or not, so I have more wardrobe just in case... (Well thats my story and I am sticking to it.).
    De clutter in the Mooloo household starts tomorrow, if I have any say in the matter, and any energy to fight the twins battle of the wills.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Oh yes, I have a "classic" wardrobe........I always get confused by "vintage"......a vintage car is about a hundred years old, yet vintage Versace is 3 months old :confused:

    Alas my versace are all long gone, its all Matalan and Primark, if its not charity shop stuff. (not just from my shops). I went into Bernardos this afternoon when I was waiting for the bus from Physio, but for once I didnt find anything I could by. Ah New Tricks on the TV I am off. Night all. x

    Morning guys!

    Today I have a mystery shop this afternoon and a client booked in this evening - so a little bit of money making going on.

    I am also expecting some other money to arrive in the bank today so will be clearing the egg card :D

    And my flylady mission continues:

    Tuesday bluesday- Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1[STRIKE]

    Vacuum through the living room
    [/STRIKE]
    , hall and stairs
    Level 2
    Dusting, even if around everything
    Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
    Clean windows and all glass.. including the tv screen
    Clear the mantel and only put back the items which are supposed to be there.. and that doesn't include letters, keys or other treasure!
    Level 3
    Open a drawer.. sort the junk within!
    15 minutes sort of the junk on the landing!
    Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
    Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –
    1. name all the school garments!!
    2. Wipe down any paintwork that needs it.
    3. Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!!
    4. Wash any cushions, throws or curtains that need it


    My lounge and hall needs a bit more than this so there will be some serious sorting done as well, so I need to add on my own list:
    • [STRIKE]ironing[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]sort the pile of papers properly next to the sofa[/STRIKE]
    • sort out the cds and dvds
    • do mystery shop and submit results
    • see client this evening
    • [STRIKE]do online banking and check against bills to pay[/STRIKE]
    • pay off egg card and colour in appropriate squares
    • take stuff to the charity shop
    and of course I need to [STRIKE]get my fix of the olympics[/STRIKE] :D

    Hope you all have a good day xx
