    I'm in I'm in :):) Well sort of :rotfl:

    Dinner being eaten, so going to do a rough extras list which I can add to as I go. So far I think just 2 appointments next week, one all day meeting so shouldn't be too bad.

    Unpack 4 boxes from living room (one for each day I don't have a meeting)
    Unpack bag and box from bathroom
    Unpack 2 bags from bedroom (this and above is 1 a day again)
    Dig through kitchen pantry cupboard see if I can create some order
    Start unpacking 4 more boxes/bags elsewhere
    Pack and post ebay item

    Ok so if I get that done I will be doing 3 boxes/bags on the days without a full day meeting which I think is just going to be Thursday. So that is the basic extras.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Who'd have thought that I'd get so excited about a list of household chores... :D

    Thanks for your hard work pigpen, toots and soappie. It's helping me make a difference.

    Lots of love,
    MrsC
  • - Source 3 shoeboxes!!

    Are you doing the Shoebox appeal by any chance? I'm trying to source several too,

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
