    I would love to be joining you both, but have to spend my days sitting in an office thinking about the meyhem at home!!! It means I will have to spend my Friday evening and all day Saturday decluttering because I am expecting house guests on Sunday and the homestead is like a bomb site!!!!!

    Ok - 10am update! I've got all the paperwork from around the house (which took forever) and have started sorting it into piles for filing. Challenge for the next 30 mins is to complete sorting and filing to give me a clear floor space to sort out the rest of the junk!

    Do 20 mins of exercise video while the lasagne is in the oven
    Tidy living room
    Dust and polish in living room

    I'm loving reading about all your efforts and how you're encouraging each other.

    Unfortunately, I'm supposed to be 'working' today so no decluttering for me right now.

    However, IF this thread is still running at the weekend, I'll be joining you ladies - I'm another who needs her asre kicking ............

    Here's some motivation for you all, go girls HSpuschel-schmal.gif

    11am update

    10 min tea break!

    Still in the kitchen, thought I might as well do a thorough job and really make a difference, rather than a superficial sweep!

    All units and furniture washed and wiped down
    Some clutter taken to the shed, where I discovered my hyacinth bulbs were peeping through, so brought them back in:T
    Fridge emptied and a good clean out.
    Under sink re-organised and wiped out.
    House plant leaves wiped:p
    Chicken portions out, wings back into simmer for stock.

    Doesn't look much actually for the time spent .........wish I could say I find it satisfying, but it never has been for me and I don't really expect it ever will be or I wouldn't be here, would I?!!:D :D:D:D

    Back at noon.....must get the decs up in the loft, but that's gonna take me a while!! :wave:
