    Morning CAFC,

    Mine is to clear out my bedroom before we move again. There is so much rubbish here! Then we are going to Scotland for a few days and then I am going home to Ireland for 5 days. My boss is allowing me to work from home. She is so nice, I am very lucky as I don't have any annual leave.

    What's yours?

    Well my bedroom seriously needs a clear out. We didn't do it when we moved in June cos I was newly pregnant and we only gave ourselves 2 weeks. The amount of paperwork I have already shredded and recycled is unreal. I am tempted to put all my clothes on Ebay as well but the return is rubbish so will have to store them until I can fit in them again.

    I have managed to completely clean 3/4 of our kitchen, including cupboard doors, skirting boards, oven etc, just need to do one work surface, and then got the microwave and the floor to do and its complete.... knackering work though. I kinda figured it I overhaul it now, then it'll be a quicker job to do in a couple of months when we move.....
