    Vanilla - I wish I had something clever and helpful to say but sadly all I can come up with is 'Oh bollox!'. See, not very helpful but massive hugs to you. You really could do without all this stress right now xxxxxx

    Jinky has arrive safely. He arrived tonight so I could actually get the children ready for school in the morning without them being more hyper than they're going to be anyway. I've taken a photo of him in the fridge and put it in a letter telling them he got a bit homesick but he found a place that reminds him of the north pole. He also asked if he can watch Raymond Brigg's Father Christmas with them tomorrow night. I am having much too much fun:rotfl:.

    Just going to s/s the kitchen and then I'm ready for a marathon present wrap tomorrow.

    Hugs to all xx

  • Wow! This thread does move fast!!

    So, after yesterday's big effort we have done well today. For my level one, - living room was done so did the landing upstairs and the spare room. Decluttered, organised and the clothes horse moved in there. And all hoovered.

    Have also done more washing to get the pile down and put away the dry clothes from yesterday. OH came in and ironed his shirts and did the washing up from last night.

    We are out at work all day for 12 hours so have decided to do 30 mins each day to keep on top of things.

    Extras:
    I have completed my Christmas Spreadsheet. It lists meals, extras, drink and non food items in separate tabs with an extra tab for a shopping list complete with quantities and where to buy from. Phew!!

    A couple more areas to de clutter and I hope to be on track for the levels each day.

    Hope you're all ok
