Hi everyone!
My last day off work and I've been to footie all morning watching DS :rolleyes:
JUst got back an hour ago and have had lunch, trying to get energy up to do something constructive! Wanted to get another cupboard done but struggling to care
Anyway, have had 13 handbags collected form a fellow freegler, so might just count that as today's declutter;)
Keep up the good work, everyone!GOD BLESS DURAN DURAN

Right today
In: One lidl leaflet
Out: 1 X bag of shredded paper. one broken laundry basket, plastic and cardboard all this was walked over to the tip.
Bits and pieces in to the recycling boxes. I have two and they are fit to burst at the moment. A cool box thing made from polystyrene in the bin. And a couple carrier bags of rubbish out to the bin from the tidy up in the back room.
Still waiting for the bins to be emptied. Not much room left in it now apart from jumping up and down in it :rotfl:
I have not managed much as I have tidied up the backroom that holds my chest freezer. Someone came to service my husband's wheel chair on thursday and the room was a tip. It needs a part so they are coming back tomorrow. So I have been sorting it all out. And even cleaned the windows and washed the floor :eek:
Mind you I was so busy I forgot to put the veg on for lunch :rotfl:Still waiting for the floor to dry. Once dried I can then close the windows.
Next need to tackle the kitchen :rolleyes: again. Why does it never stay tidy. Will have a little nose around MSE and then back to it again.
Keep up the good work.
Yours
