    Morning everyone

    Piggers and Toots - thanks for the list and stars. Hope you both have a successful week.

    Welcome returners.
    Carol - extra hugs for you

    Woke up before the alarm this morning and lay there listening to the dawn chorus. It's getting earlier and earlier every day! And it was getting light when I got up........

    Well, off to bath, iron something to wear today and then go do the work thing. Have a lovely day people. I will fly when I get home

    Morning all

    DS3 disturbed in the night - we need rain to settle the pollen. I could not get back to sleep.

    Have been sorting the stuff I brought back from the NCT sale into stuff to ebay and stuff to donate to 2nd hand toy stall at the school fete - it is so not going back into the loft!

    Toots - NCT - you take your stuff to the school, labelled, they sell what they can for you and take 1/3rd of the profit, you collect what is not sold and they send you a cheque. Nice way to sell, captive audience and a good charity to support. Win win really

    LL how are you feeling today hun and you MOzzy?

    Carol and Boddy hugs for both of you and your families, loosing friends is never easy

    Jjef - yes it is much to early to put your toms out - how far south are you? You need the nights to be warmer, frost out of sight otherwise you will loose the plants or they will go dormant and sulk for a while. What else are you growing?

    Piggers I'm glad the children are settling down. Sending good health vibes for your sister x

    Morning :hello:
    Oh it's orrid and wet here this morning and I have to go to work. So I'll be getting very wet too!!!!

    I plan on staying on the fly wagon this week. I failed miserably last week. Don't really know why, just one of those weeks I suppose.:confused:

    I'll post my list when I get back. I also plan on doing a hex challenge as well. Are you doing another hex? I'm aiming for 100 things to be rehomed, binned, ebayed and/or charity shopped this week.

    Right better get a wiggle on. See you lot later.

    Morning All

    Froddy - it'll be absolutely fine - the kids will be angels and you'll have a wonderful time!

    Well I sort of went missimg in action last week as it was a manic first week back and I ended up having to go to the hospital Tuesday and Thursday, DS then had to have tablets Friday and Saturday and then he had to do a 24 hour urine test yesterday finishing this morning so I'm hoping for a calmer week this week although Aunt Flo's arrived so she won't help matters!

    Anyway, hope you are all well - I doubt if I'll get chance to catch up on last week's thread so I've missed anything vital can someone fill me in please.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Checking in before dinner . . .

    Valli - Yep, kids have gone back to school today. Not too much drama about it :)
    Tootti - we are all well and MIL is doing OK. Gets about on her little scooter now, so she has her independence back.
    Frodders - have FUN!!

    For those interested in the Hoarder to Order book - this is the authors website
    http://www.nomoreclutter.co.uk/ - have to admit I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. I saying 100 steps instead of 100 days because I can't imagine being able to do this every day.

    Day 1 is "Transform your Self-Image"
    * Consider how living in a perpetual muddle affects your self image
    * Write down positive and negative phrases that come to mind
    * How do these negative labels affect you? Are you overwhelmed or do you compare yourself to your neater friends?
    * Choose new phrases to reflect how you would like to be 100 steps from now: e.g. Less stressed, more order, find my things easily, pay my bills on time etc.
    * Stay positive - small daily steps are the path to becoming clutter free. You can do it!
    * Make a commitment: For the next 100 steps (100 days if you are able) I commit to setting aside 30 minutes every day to transform myself from hoarder to an ordered person.
