Amazing how much quicker it is this week. Last week the bedroom took AGES today it's all done in half an hour as there was no clutter lying around :j, only the Linen Cupboard of Doom :eek: to do now - kids get back in two hours - should be able to manage it! :rolleyes:

Raining here so snow is going slushy and more people seem to be getting stuck than when it was icy. Hopefully OH be able to go to work tomorrow!

yeah i tried to read but obviously not concentrating enough! thankyou...
I will join when next week starts
Thanks for the help xx

If you start where the lists are now, and with level one it will make it even easier next week...and if your bedroom's anything like a certain flylady's was when she started this thread - well all I can say is there's no time like the present. Today is master bedroomday. Your bedroom SHOULD be a haven of peace and you should wake up in a clean, aired room - believe me it helps you face the day. One morning I woke up sick to death of my bedroom, the wallpaper was dated (we had inherited when we moved in and exOH had NO intention of decorating). It took me a week to strip and prepare the walls, but I eventually got it painted and it is a MUCH more pleasant room now, and even now I still smile at the sight of what it is and the memory of what it was!
