    Morning

    Wooohooo dealt with one of the the hotspots in the kitchen yesterday afternoon :D so now need to keep that area free while progressing to the next.

    So far this morning I have washed a load of plastic and some dusty bits from the hotspot. Empited the toaster of crumbs :eek: crumb mountain! Next I am nipping over to see michelle and decluttering some of W's clothes to her ;) Hair cuts tonight after school so all in all a buy day me thinks.

    Made quite a head way into LR yesterday with decluttering. But still more to do. Did HHI last night but again still have more to do. But all the hard work seems to be paying off. It looks a lot better already.

    Love and hugs to those in need .

    Morning! Early one from me today as I have a day off - off up to Ipswich in a while to our Speedway Press day (I do the photos for the matchday programme and website) but thought I'd attack what I could off the list first! :D Beautiful sunny day here in Essex - I've already got one load of washing out on the airer outside and have another load on the go in the WM as I type. Kitchen swished. Stew for tonight in the SC. Front room decluttered. :T Two trays of granola cereal made to take into work for breakfasts. Photography kit all sorted and sitting on the bed ready to pick up in a while. Phew!

    I feel really awful today, so only aiming to wash up and put the WM on, and then see how it goes.
    Have cancelled my plan to meet a friend. Haven't recovered from the stress of going out yesterday and can't cope with going out today too.
    Hugs to all
