    I wish I hadn't found THAT list. I've spent an hour on the cupboard under the stairs already - it's in a bad way. But, the iron mountain has gone! The neighbours probably think I'm mad. It's bin day today and the bin men haven't yet been. I keep dashing out to put another one thing in the bin in case they arrive any moment!

    Dusty. I will be holding your hand too. Old suite has gone now. I thought they were not going to get the old sofa out through the front door. The stairs are directly in front of door. I had to try and remember how it came in.

    Busy declutterering some drawers now.

    In my HHC, I: wanted to wash up. In order to do that, I had to put the shopping away that DH got at the weekend. In order to do that I had to sort out the food cupboard that collapsed two weeks ago. DH put it back together again this weekend, so I took all the metal trays/drawers out and the ones that were on the floor, and sorted them out properly. They are now 3 with cans/bottles/sauces/DH’s drinks, 2 with snacks/noodles and the top one is cereals and lightbulbs. The shopping is all put away, so the kitchen floor is much better.

    I also cleaned up sticky bits on the frame thing that the trays slide into.

    It was a horrible hard job so have counted it as doing under the stairs, as I don’t have any stairs. Hope that’s ok.

    In my next HHC I need to hang out the washing and do some washing up.

    Dusty, I am holding your hand. You will be fine, I'm sure they will take good care of you.

    Well done on doing your understairs cupboard Soappie

    How did you get on GTX?

    My internet connection is being very annoying today, so don't worry if I disappear, it's probably because the connection has gone again. It's taking me about 5 attempts to get it back each time!
