    Hi Hypno! My DS is 7 - 8 in May - and a pretty average size for his age. He wore your DS's ski jacket all winter and it kept him very snug. Thank you!! We were also very grateful for the smart shirts. Well they are smarter than anything else he has. Looking forward to the next bundle!

    And looking forward to your post on my diary Double Trouble!

    I'll join in the declutter weekend. I'm actually very good at decluttering - by nature and because we live in a tiny house - but I'm sure there's more that can go. We're going to reorganise the bedroom allocations in the Easter Hols, so the more we can throw out the less we will have to move from room to room.

    Right, that is sorted then......preliminary declutter preparation this weekend, with full blown spring clean next weekend when we are MSE-less......

    Seaxwyn, I will sort out a suitable bundle and will send it off to you - I have mislaid your address though, (probably under the ironing pile too) so if you can PM it to me, I will get that sorted this week.

    Right, best get back to work :o

    I vote NEXT weekend to be the big declutter weekend - after all, MSE is down for maintenance between Friday night and Sunday, so what else are we supposed to do!!!
    :eek: Noooooooo!! :eek: A weekend without MSE? :eek: I was even on here when I went to a conference in Canada! :rotfl: The weekend is when I catch up on threads, update spending spreadsheets, check MSE, swear at spreadsheets and quicken when they invariably don't tally up, check MSE, eat, check MSE, load washing machine, check MSE... MSE is my reward for cleaning and doing things!!

    Afternoon - anyone any ideas for a bored 19yr old DS who is laid up after a knee operation !!! He's bored already and he opnly had it done yesterday !!!!

    Hypno - good idea, a feng shui declutter session. Unfortunately I am married to the world's fattest squirrel - he won't chuck anything out!

    Walshyboy - that job was obviously not meant to be, the ideal job is out there on its way to you, be patient.

    Shaun - in plaster and caring for a toddler? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's.......SUPERSHEEP!!!

    One of the girls in the Saturdays used to be at the same ski academy as my two.....not at the same time, mind, but it gives them that "claim to fame" thing a little bit! Yes, I bought DD tickets for her birthday as they are playing at the uni here :T

    Simple Minds are also coming to the area - they are my faves - I went to see them a couple of times with my Dad, so really want to go and see them again........but I haven't yet booked tickets. I will do so after my holiday, if I have any money left, and if there are not any available, well it was just not meant to be.

    I should really go for a run, but I am not inclined.......I need someone to come round and "call" for me......it is mighty hard motivating yourself every time!

    I might stay in, clear my lounge a bit so it is a nicer place to sit, read the house supplement in the newspaper, which might motivate me to clear the debt a bit quicker.......
