:xmastree:Hello, I am going to try to do this, but have mobility problems so I may just have to adapt a few things, or deligate.
We are about to divide the home up, as both of the twins and thier babies are going off into assisted living by the end of May, and DS and I are taking over a cottage on the 1st of May. So I will need to add jobs that include packing as well as decluttering. However I am unwell today, so Mondays jobs will have to be bumped into the rest of the week as I am about to go to bed!. Well I am already in bed, but about to turn the computer off and the lights etc out!! Hopefully I will be able to find this thread again in the morning.

I have a question. Would it be acceptable for me to do the top and bottom halves inside my windows and only the bottom of the outside?????? I nearly fell out the kitchen window and I'm not wanting to try again !!

Larder cupboard is done - decided I want to buy a few things to organise it a bit better.

From the bottom of the cupboard I managed to fill a whole black bag with empty carrier bags! As well as a large next carrier bag with them! Why is it when i go to the supermarket I never seem to have any?!?!?!?!

Off to grab the washing xx

Thanks soappie, ssl, Dusty, rosepink and julie and anyone I missed for the replies to my self-pitying post.

As usual I come on here and am humbled and get things into perspective a bit more.

Toots - not sure which part of your journey you are on today but hope everything goes ok.

ssl - yes been onto greenfingers and they are great, its my 2nd favourite board
Hugs to anyone else who needs one.

Ok how do people manage to do their things so quickly?

Gryfon, I've been wondering the same thing! Even if I had no kids I couldnt do all my dailies and get the whole list done, I have no idea how people do it!

Umm yes. I think it's about time I got out of this rut I've been stuck in for far to long and start getting back to normal:o

Me too, I am in a big bug deep rut, the worst bit of which is that when hubs is here I have massive lie ins and let him get up with the kids :rolleyes:. I do get up with them all during term time on school days. But on weekends and holidays, like today, I got up at midday, it was a waste of a beautiful morning, and when I did get up hubs was really p'ed off and has been in a mood all day. Problem is he lets me lie in, and then complains afterwards. And when I get up he stops doing things and then I have to do it all, but if I hide upstairs in bed he has to do it. But I am quite ashamed of myself for not getting up and doing more on the weekends, and its one thing thats affecting my self esteem.

Anyway bla bla bla.

The other thing I wanted to say TAG was thanks for the reply to my other massive post. Growing your own is so satisfying isnt it!
I spent all afternoon (once I got up....) in the garden dismantling a wooden pallet to make some raised beds. Hubs thinks I am barmy. I then weeded all the weedy areas (cant really call them flowerbeds) and cut back a crazy out of control clematis.
My next task will be to hammer together the raised bed frames, then move some plants from one bed to another so I can place the raised bed frames.
Then I have to level a space for the sehd to move to, move it, then dig some soil from where the shed was and use that and compost and last years empty grobags to fill the raised beds. By the time all that is done I will hopefully have lots of mature seedlings ready to go in :T I can only do it a bit at a time when DD2 is asleep or if hubs is happy to look after them all which generally he isn't. As I said when I get up, he stops.

The money thing is just hard cos I see my friends taking all their kids to these places that we cant afford to go to, and apart from the fact that the kids miss out to a degree, its also that I want to be able to go out for the day where the kids are a bit more entertained as its easier for me

Didnt do any flying apart from the daily grind of cleaning the kitchen after each meal and tidying the playroom after the kids devstated it today, but that was it.
Going to do some oline banking in a bit after I have caught up with the thread a bit.
