ETA - Ahh, guessed it's LR and hubby but would love to see their home - couldn't google that for some reason.... nosy cow aren't I...:o

I refer to my previous post about the song running around my head. Father and son. Son's marry ladies and girl groups can feature with that partnership. But it's the Father I keep thinking about... And if you look back at my posts I talked about a footballing personality - not a footballer!

Gawd, I can be too cryptic for my own good!

But hey ho - venison stew eaten by all and delicious it was. Will load the DW and swish and swipe

Does anyone else ever feel like just throwing everything out and starting again? We have stuff in this house that hasn't been touched since we moved in and is just collecting more of the aforementioned building dust. If I had a skip every week and not just a wheelie bin it would be lovely.

I have a 5 bedroomed hovel filled with building dust. I am going to try the fly lady way from next week. Fingers crossed.

Welcome! We'll show you how to bust that dust!

Thanks. Five bedrooms sounds impressive, but most of it hadn't been touched since 1950 or so. It's what some people call a "project".

Honey, I have been in this place nearly 20 years. I moved about 13 times in as many years before I came here. I was uncluttered then! I sometimes think I really need to move again just to sort stuff out!

But, take it a box at a time, a day at a time. Don't throw - recycle, flog on ebay or freecycle... It doesn't all need to be cleared at once.

Off to dust a lampshade

I'll try :rotfl: . I can't reach 90% of our lampshades . Something needs to give though. All the photos of ds have mountains of junk showing behind him (well not mountains, but you can see it's not as tidy as it could be)
