    Having a very productive evening here tonight, have loaded the dishwasher, done one load of washing and tidied and hoovered all rooms :j I still need to thoroughly clean everywhere and then probably hoover again, but at least when I wake up tomorrow everywhere will be tidy already and then I can concentrate on blitzing sections of it :)

    Morning all, the scales were nice to me on weigh-in this morning and I've lost another 1.5lbs :D I'm starting to feel happier in my clothes again now and thats helping to keep me going. I really must work on the exercise though, I'm going to go for a long walk again today, the plan is; ds swimming lesson then he goes to his dads, then tescos, walk, home to watch the f.a.cup final and do some decluttering/ebaying followed by a good night out with a friend :)

    Not yet no, I've been thinking more about the ex-mil saga and *if* I decide she can have ds then I may book it for then to help me relax while he's away :)

    Forgot to factor the F.A. Cup into my plans, so now this afternoon involves pottering but mainly laptop based, entering comps while watching the tv kinda stuff :)

    I have managed to pull out all the storage under my bed (where I keep my present box basically), and hoovered under there and reorganised the stuff in the boxes, managing to empty one out of four completely, now I'm not sure whether to move the rest of the present stuff thats in another cupboard so at least its all together, or use it for something else, hmm decisions :o

    Doesn't look much different but so far have filled one bin liner full of rubbish and have an equally large pile for the car boot, so must be making some progress :D I've gone through ds wardrobe, and having taken out all the age 4-5 etc (he's nearly 7), he's hardly got anything left to wear :o but at least whats in there now should fit him! Also have a pile of puzzles etc that I need to check are complete before they head to the car boot pile. I need to get it all boxed up before ds comes back tomorrow or he'll want it all back, but if he doesn't see it he won't even miss it ;)
