  • Hi, :hello:

    Have been reading various decluterring/organised home posts/websites over last few weeks and came across this thread. Can I join it please Pigpen as I'm in need of a hand to get organised.

    I start doing one job and then find something else and get distracted, so things don't always get finished!!

    Hi

    Done 3 rooms so far this week, only have to clean out the fridge too get my Monday star, will either do it today or tomorrow, the bairns keep their own room tidy (they even do the dusting - they like to clean), so all I really need to do is bedding but I will work on my extra list.
