    Morning all

    One load of washing done which has been in and out twice and is now staying upstairs.

    Vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Spent an hour on sorting through paperwork and did a load of shredding.

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Not got quite so much done this time

    Vacuumed study
    Cleared the area by my printer
    Sorted out library books
    Put some washing on
    Tumbled washing that was on airer
    Sorted and decluttered my makeup and hair drawer
    Took a few bits upstairs
    Started to tidy and declutter conservatory - this is going to be a big job as its where we have stored the contents of kitchen whilst OH is redoing the room.

    Hi all, please can I join you, I'm really lacking direction at the moment! If I can get the housework more organised over the next few weeks I will start up some regular exercise too and hopefully inspire the rest of the family to do more.....:rotfl:
