    I can't believe it, I've got two stars! I've counted finishing off the COD as the cupboard as I did quite a bit of it on Monday and finished it off today, hope that's ok. Really gungy fridge is cleaned and I've put my favourite blanket in the wash - I always wear it while sitting on the sofa so I'm a bit chilly now!

    Going to catch up with the thread now

    Finished for this week now, just some ironing to do and dailies over the weekend. Hoping for good weather as I want to do some gardening, OH wants to paint some bits outside and kids have footie and cricket.

    MadMayFly welcome. Decluttering will really really help you keep your house clean and tidy. I am finally starting to reap the benefits and some rooms are very quick to do now. It does take a time (a few years in my case and still not finished) so please be patient and good luck

    Dusty's plan for September:

    Week 1 - clean all 3 kids rooms
    Week 2 - finish decluttering the family room once and for all
    Week 3 - sorting out and washing out all kitchen cupboards and drawers
    week 4 - sort my wardrobe and all bedroom drawers

    October - the whole month sorting out my stuff in OH's office - this is a biggey!

    There that will keep me entertained until half term.

    Hello ladies

    I've been lurking for a while and reading posts, trying to get motivated in dealing with CHAOS! I am a terrible hoarder and need to get a grip on things and seeing that I have a fortnight's holiday (at home), thought this would be an ideal time to ask to join you and get the house sparkling...Don't know how to put a Christmas tree though, would someone do it for me? This is my first post!

    MadMayFly

    i see i was beaten to it but will do it anyway:D:xmastree::hello:
