Right - well I have ironed the washing in between sorting out the PC and I have started my bedroom. I'm off to finish it now...

I may be gone for some time :rotfl:

I'm not having a brilliant day. Felling really bleurgh. Not like sick or anything, think I've just been burning myself out (I have got anxiety and relaxtion issues, starting councelling on Monday, which is possibly one of the reason I don't feel so great, not good at opening up...'specially not to strangers.). I dunno, guess I'm just feeling a little sorry for myself.

Anyway *gives self a mental shake-off*

Lots of love and hugs to those who are feeling properly poorly, and all our newbies:wave: , especially those who are having such hard times. Extra hugs in fact just coz I think you all deserve them.:grouphug:

Right, off to go get laundry loaad number two outta washer and drape it artistically around my home (third floor flat, no outdoor space, I'm jealous all you with garden...), doubt I'll be far though:rolleyes:

I think your island choice was a more sensible one than mine lol.
Still its nice being in and cosy now, did take DS a walk in his snowsuit but his wee cheeks started going purple! Shame the WM is broken cos this would be a lovely weekend in doing laundry . Oh well DH will just have to take it over to the one at his work and I can find something else more fun to do (knit, bake etc)

Yes, I am window shopping again, trying to decide what to buy the rest I have left on my list!

Gryfon I am so with you, I find the cleaning thing easy, decluttering a nightmare and constant! I am still working with my Grandma's idea of a 'homeless box' which has become a much bigger space than I imagined, of anything I need to find a home for. I am working out what storage I need for it. As she always said until everything has a place, you can't put everything away and it'll always be untidy. Friends laugh because they know under the clutter which gets moved from place to place it's clean here, it just always looks unclean due to clutter.

Lazy evening, well, I will try, I need to give socks half an hour or so of my time, kids still need feeding/bath/dressing for bed and the kitchen as always due to me being untidy in there too will need a clean up.

Gryfon

Exactly lil_me! At the moment most things are just shunted from one place to another, I'm trying to get storage for everything as we have the room it's just a tad disorganised! Maybe if the house was smaller I would be more ruthless but I know I have space for everything...it's just getting it all in the right space! It's just want big slog and never ending!

The trouble with here is that when it gets cold it's never cold enough for snow which is very disappointing!

Right off to stick the brandy in my mincemeat, sterilise the jars and jar it all

You may not be one of my favourite people.. have you any idea about my book addiction?!

lil_me

Ok, bit of a theory but a one I am hoping will work for me

Everything that goes in the homeless box I write down, then when I get time I am going through the list deciding what storage I need to find them a home, sometimes I am finding the solutions, some I need to buy. I emptied a few unneeded items from a basket yesterday which is now used for hair things for example as there was a few hair things on the list. Slowly but surely I am getting there, I do have boxes of stuff homeless at the mo but working my way through it. I think I will always have a homeless box, but that means even homeless things always have a place.

pigpen sorry but thought it would help if someone was buying things anyway, forgot there was shopaholics on here I dunno if they work yet, just finding them on my browsing....but were only emailed today

Good afternoon

I'm all invigilated out, just need to get tea done, Judo runs x3 done and then it will be wine O'clock - something to look forward to.

I need to finish my dalies and then whilst tea is cooking I will either sort some paperwork or look at my hot spot. Actually where is my list.

Ashia - the first session will be the hardest (take some tissues) but I'm sure it will help and you will come to look forward to your sessions rather than dread them. Take a cardi - you could feel cold, but make sure you can take it off as you also might feel hot.

Soappie - hope you are feel a little better by now
