Hi everyone, :hello:
I picked up on this thread yesterday and in my typical style was so impatient that I couldn't wait until next week to post!
I hate the clutter and mess in my house and equally hate cleaning it! I usually require 24hrs notice of visitors and dread people dropping in! I even spare a thought for the window cleaner!!!
So, I've looked around the house with "new eyes" and done a bit of picking up as I've wandered around. My lists will be little to start with - don't want to fall at the first hurdle and lose heart! Hope its ok with you all for me to drop in and update you. I know that putting my list on here with motivate (shame) me into making sure I do it!
Please, please wish me luck!AF since 10.04.11
