Yaaaaay! It's the Living Room!!!!!

Yes - I know. My RoD.

But DH and DD decluttered enthusiastically with me for ***1 hour*** this morning, and it is now really, truly and absolutely clear, and just waiting for its best clean in oooooh ... um.... .....well, lets just say 'a long time'!!!

(and then some )

So I'm aiming for three stars this week..... Well, I can dream!

Thanks to you all for providing inspiration, and especially Toots, Pigpen and Soappie.

So relieved to hear your news, Mudbath - I've been wondering about you on and off all weekend.

Hugs to all
(Sounding like an Oscar acceptance speech now, so I'll call it a day...)
