  • Can't believe how much I got done in HHC!!

    Clothes and clothes horses put away
    Bedroom tidied up and cleaned hairbrush
    Sittingroom tidied up and pile ready for shredding (our shredder is bust, getting a new one this week hopefully)
    Took three lots of stuff out to the recycling bins outside
    Mr TA even helped out by tidying the kitchen (and I didn't prompt him, must be contagious ;) )
    Emptied and cleaned the vaccuum cleaner.

    Phew lol. AND I feel like I've done some exercise!

    Ohhh I would probably be in contention for that particular award!!

    By the way, my post got completely missed a few days ago but I insist on having items hung on the line with matching pegs and can't watch my OH doing it cos he just pegs things randomly as if it doesn't matter!!:eek:

    And I am a stationery addict. I have draws full of the stuff and I write lists for everything. Even for things I never do.. I have to have a list in case I want to start. :o I LOVE being organised on paper... I just fail to pass it on to the real world.. :rotfl:

    Welcome all newbies! You will love it here........ or else!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

  • We live in a one bed upper villa so no pegs here. Although I love the storm pegs when I go home to Shetland.

    Lists are great, I love watching them being ticked off as you do things

  • Thanks Valli, off for a wee browse round the website. I've been on holiday for the last couple of weeks and the plan was to spend the time getting the house and garden in order, but so far we've only managed to achieve creating more mess than we've sorted!!

    So wishing I'd found this thread 2 weeks ago... oh well still another week of the hols left... mind you I'm pining for a day out... even if it is just for a wander round Ikea, gosh I think I am OFFICIALLY SAD!!

    I've been taking the mick out of all you matching peg freaks for a while :p and I noticed the other day that I have to have an equal amount of clothes on either side of the clothes prop, AND the amount hanging over the line has to be the straight and even or I fidget :o

    I love stationary too, I get extremely excited when Asda get their Back To School stuff in :o Today the shelves were full of Halloween stuff, I was like a kid then too :rolleyes:

    Well done Tarotangel - you've done loads! The exercise part is an added bonus that I discovered too.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Good Luck to you all! Decluttering makes things easier and if you can sell the stuff improves your finances. I am trying for 5 items on ebay a week for as long as it takes plus a couple of 2nd hand toy stalls to clear out and get some cash.

    I've not done too bad, 2 of the boys rooms done but not the third as the sun came out so I went and did 30 minutes deadheading/cutting back.

    Greenbe - I've done half the garden toys - others tomorrow if it is dry

    Need to:

    Prep veg
    Prep cake
    find soup receipe
    bath DS3
    DS3 to read
    hand sewing
    ironing
