    I am decluttering myself to a nice hot badedas bath with a cup of tea, some chocolate and a good book. I will S&S the bathroom whilst it is running like a good little flylady.

    I've decluttered the remains of a couple of boxes of biscuits......all in the interests of creating worktop space, only, of course.....

    Wednesday's list is going to be a real challenge for me as my bedroom is a complete tip......it has become "that room of which the door is always closed".......but if I can achieve it by the end of the day, then the house will be pretty tidy, because I did the bathroom today, and the cloakroom yesterday, as extras.......I feel as though I am getting somewhere!

    I've done all of both lists so NER but tomorrows may be a bit more of a challenge as my rooms a tip, cheers pigpen I was on a roll there :( Due to getting a call to go collect my 11 year old neice from the police station :mad: because she had naffed off 20 odd miles away to MetroHell & her friends were caught shop lifting :mad: then half way there the police called to say non of the kids had lifts so they were bringing her back, I didn't get much more done.

    :rolleyes: So since I came back, DSs have settled as I lost my head with them a bit, decluttered a bin bag of junk, piled more laundry on my bed & will make our tea in a mo as still not done it.

    DPs brother coming tomorrow hopefully to help shift old sofas into garage, they have been promised to someone & hoping she won't mess me about. The new ones should be here on the afternoon :jI best move the dining table before bed to make things easier.

    soappie was meaning to say well done, you will get it published next year, we know how determined you are ;)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
