    Hello all :hello:

    I had no internet last night :eek: Didn't like it at all.... so I spent the night watching my crime programmes that I'd recorded and shredding paperwork, over 2 hours and a black binbag full later and I was finished :eek: I found receipts from December 2007 - that might sound bad, but if I recall correctly when I was sorting out the Xmas stuff to put the decorations out I found all the receipts for the gifts I bought in 2007 so slung them all in the shredding pile..mind that doesn't excuse the paperwork belonging to ex which was in there :o However this morning I got a text to say that my broadband had been activiated so I set the box up this morning and its like my connection is on Red Bull its so fast :D:T:T

    Pigpen - Get well soon!!!

    Hi Guys
    I have been lurking here and felt inspired to copy your lists and start to make more of an effort with my own home. I am in need of a good de clutter, i have LOTS of hotspots and err sometimes just need to be reminded of chores... Unless its pointed out I do tend to overlook stuff!! That sound so bad doesnt it!!! lol...
    I started yesterday with the kitchen/dining room list and it looks beautiful. So with my spray bottle of stardrops/vinegar and water, my microfibre cloth and your inspiration, my soon to be cleaner home.......
    THANKS YOU x x x x x x

    Hi to all

    Hope you are all ok. Been feeling a bit fragile the last few days. Lots of stress, wicked old witch next door making my life a misery now.......

    Fell out with the Estate Agents I rent the house from as they are not interested in whats best for me or the property. Only the old witch next door. So whats the point? :confused:

    So, Im looking for a new place. They can explain to the landlord why they cost him a Tenant.

    I decluttered lots of my house and was pleased it was looking tidy, but now that Ive crossed them all off the list, it doesnt actually look like Ive done much! :rolleyes:

    Once I go round with the hoover and the duster, Im sure I will see an improvement on the list too.......and some Ironing!!! MUST DO IRONING!!

    Hope you are all well,

    Love n hugs all round.....for everyone xx

    Make sure you tell the landlord yourself too - do you have his/her contact details? If not, write a letter to the landlord and post it once you have moved out, they have to pass mail on (or they should anyway :rolleyes:)
