    IN:

    Lots of pressies, cardboard everywhere
    A bike propped up in the kitchen
    More toys for DD1 (how many does a kid need!)

    OUT:

    All the pressies from our wardrobe (PHEW!)
    My 3 children (stopped over at in laws)

    Place looks like a bombs hit it! Took advantage of kids being away to have a lay in til 11.30 - bliss. Will start some major decluttering in the New Year methinks although am half inclined to try to find bedroom floor today!

    Hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. Keep encouraging each other - I'm sure we'll all get there one day ;)
