Sadly I do... I'm going to miss it though!

You sound like you have been a woman on a mission today Jue, same here. Been picking up hama beads as well! I can't believe how much stuff I have thrown out of Miss A's bedroom. Almost at the 'starting to look better' phase and the landing floor has almost been reclaimed. Been a long slog but I think I may have broken the back of it

Just having a couple of minutes and a couple of marshmallows.

Are you sure you wouldn't like some more Hama beads and then you'll have some more to pick up next time?:D

Level Two
Vacuum all the floors, shake the muck out of any mats
Level Three
Tidy the chest of drawers

Just had a look at the list to see if any of it has been done - am getting there! DH did the bookshelves today as he was tidying up the dining table. Wow, it really needed tidying, so I'm very pleased he's tidied it - I will give it a good clean tomorrow. The only thing is that he's turfed off a nice framed photo I had on the shelves of my parents and grandparents, he says I can put it back if I can find space! You bet I'm going to find space for it! :cool:

I will substitute the understairs cupboard for the chest of drawers.
