    Mummyof5 - heaps of good luck vibes for your DS, hope he gets a really good work experience

    Pigpen and Toots - going to aim for level one this coming week as I have asked to join the de-clutter thread as I'm getting bogged down with carp here and its starting to get to me - hope thats ok with you, the aim is to de-clutter as much as poss and then I can get back into some kind of routine before I start my new job [hopefully the CRB won't take much longer] and I'll feel more inclined to fly cos there will be less carp to wade through

    Done a bit of flying....how do peas get into the ridge of the freezer door????:o

    Anyway, given that a wipe, put some washing away, more washing dried, more hung up.

    Going to prepare myself for next weeks decluttering marathon, what I will primarily concentrate on is our bedroom as it need clearing out. Everything else is a bonus.

    Tea cooking, then I'll be making chocolate brownies and decluttering some wine, just a small glass.:D
