    By September!! How much clutter have you got?? Cm'on, let me at it!! I'll have it done in two days flat! (Rolls up sleeves in anticipation....)

    Out:

    One dress that I loved but finally admitted didn't hang right on me, so it went to the charity shop.
    A load of stuff to the caravan for our two-week trip, starting tomorrow

    Son no 2, home from dog-sitting - the only work he's likely to get this holiday, sadly, unpaid but well-fed!

    By September would be a miracle for me!

    Have been away from this thread for several weeks but now its got bad again. Kitchen worktop has disappeared, bedroom floor gone again and just junked out generally.

    Am going to have to make a massive effort, on our hols soon and will need to find clothes etc. we can actually use. Managed a couple of hours ironing the other night but still to see the top of the ironing basket.

    Come on, inspire me
