Neveah - welcome!
Sugarspun - what a list!
Well, my lists are about to get a lot more complicated as we may be moving in April. Just found out we have 3 weeks to decide whether to stay here until November or leave at the end of this tenancy in mid-April. DH is fine with moving now (usually he hates moving but he's getting pi**ed off with Landlords wanting to put stuff in our garage and generally being difficult).
I actually quite enjoy moving house (I'm wierd, I know!) as it gives me a chance to declutter - I love to throw stuff out - and organise myself.
Have found a place I want to look at this week, just waiting for a call back from the Agent.
House is gradually getting messier now I haven't been doing Flylady for 3 weeks, basics are being done but that's about it!
Off to find a list...June Grocery Challenge £493.33/£500 July £/£500
