I could have done better, especially when it comes to the college work. But I got some bad news about my Mum on Friday so that upset me (she is ok now) and now I am going down with cold so those are my excuses. This leaves the undone things to be done on the coming week with couple of additions.

I am such a procrastinator I really need to do this...I have so many things to sort out seems overwhelming, gotta do lots of moneysaving things, loads to declutter and house upside down getting me down but no idea where to start so this is as good a place as any I think.

So for this week starting 24th Nov....

Ring Water Co to sort out what is going on with my bill
Get heating looked at (something I have put off for months, to point where I have a cup under the radiator in bedroom catching drips)
Get number for UPVC window guy to see why bedroom getting so damp, think the window seal has gone caput? and ring him up to come have a look
Sort out a big bag of clothes to see what can go on ebay and list at least 10 items
Post ebay items sold tonight
Clean and declutter kitchen cupboards

Think that is manageable??
If any one has any tips for keeping on top of clutter and even moreso organising some kind of filing system for household bills/junk mail etc would love to hear ideas...I ams o sick of mountains of paperwork and a system I cant seem to keep on top of.

Getting there! Ok, so I didn't do the freezer, OH did, but it's a job done. I have tidied DD's room, well, I can see the floor. What I need to do is sort through her toys and clothes. All the Xmas gifts are currently taking up residence in my wardrobe, where my clothes should be, but they're on the dining table still. DS's wardrobe has been dismantled, we're going to put his clothes in his storage area under his bed. I also need to check on the change over of tax credits into the new joint account. I thought I did the child benefit online, but it seems I only did one child, although I'm pretty certain I did both.
