    If youve got a lot of junk mail lying about just think of this; you didnt need it last week before it arrived, you got on perfectly well without it, you certainly didnt ask for it and if it went into the bin, would you really miss it?

    With us it's shoes, jumpers and coats downstairs..... we have SO many shoes and coats :(

    We have a shoe cupboard, a welly box, hubby leaves his work boots and trainers on the doormat, there are piles of stuff on the stairs, in the kitchen, coats on the back of the kitchen door, under the stairs and slung over the kitchen chairs.

    The kids get undressed downstairs and the clothes get chucked on the stairs, jumpers are strewn on kitchen chairs and in the morning pyjamas and nighties are slung around the place.

    We can't store coats upstairs as we have teeny wardrobes and we wear a vast array of waterproofs daily.

    I need a bigger house with a cloakroom! :think:

    (and I need to be less lazy :o )
    Just run, run and keep on running!
