I thought we could work along the lines of wedding anniversaries for no real reason but to make it more focused so:
1st Paper
Monday anything to do with paperwork/photos/boxes of cards/kids pictures/books etc
2nd Cotton
Tuesday Clothes - anybodies for charity or ebays but not creating piles!
3rd Leather
Wednesday Handbag sorting/putting away/getting rid of or sorting bags of clothes stuffed under your bed/including camping stuff/sleeping bags/sporting equipment/shoes/boots
4th Linen
Thursday Linen cupboards/towels give them a good sort. Do not keep stuff just in case. Vets often want old towels
5th Wood
Friday - can include toys/sorting sheds/tidying your woodstore (greenbee)/DIY jobs
6th Iron
Saturday - cleaning out the car/refilling washer bottles/sorting our your heavy metal records/sorting our your baking tins/cast iron pans
7th Day of rest! Almost lets pamper
Sunday - sort out your toiletries and enjoy a bath decluttering all those bath bombs/face packs/trail samples/candle lit of course
Anyone fancy joining and shall we have a separate one off thread?

I was thinking I would just do as much as possible each day focusing on the areas mentioned. I dont expect to get it all done either, but at least I can make a start - and that might make some clear space that makes me feel good and want to continue till it's all gone.:j
Like with mty desk this morning - it looks so good like this that it has empowered me to get more done and maybe even to keep it like this.

Hi Everyone :wave:
Diva Hope all goes well today with OT & SW.
Dreamy way to go with the debt & congrats on the engagement :T
LL & Toots ((((Hugs))))
Sorry if I have forgotten anyone, just about to go for lunch in work, Mr T delivery has been delivered and DH said its going to take him all afternoon to put it away :rotfl:
Meal planner done for March so cookathon this weekendThem as makes it should be first in - house rule!Come be my guest.. I just called him a c.u.n.t and shut the door in his face... He just had him his slapper and my sister gang up on DD1 and then they ranted about her in another room like she wasn't there or was deaf. He also rang the school about private things going on in our lives and blabbed to all and sundry!!
Apparently he has a list of why it would be solely MY fault if the house is repossessed.. nothing to do with the idiots at the benefits place cancelling my claim in September when they were meant to be updating it.. and then not bothering to tell me until I get a letter from the bank in January!!!
They are brainless!![/LEFT]
It is nice though to be reminded so often why I am no longer with him and why OH is just so wonderful..He isn't even decent eye candy he looks really old! ..
I almost said something inappropriate about OH.. oops... I'll go post Fridays list now I have sorted the children..
Oh yeah.. cheeky f-quit said I have to do DD1 her dinner every night.. erm no.. I am not wasting a full plate of food every night because she won't eat it she just leaves it on the side and the cats eat it.. or it goes in the bin.. I refuse to throw away 1/9th of every meal I cook!! KH
Oh he really really is a KH, wish there was a stronger word than that but I did laugh at you calling him that and closing the door in his faceManic couple of days. DS1 managed to get a foreign body in his ear which has resulted in various trips to walk in unit/ hospital / ent specialist. He won't be that stupid again it was v. painfull having it removed.
Aww how horrible for him, hope he is ok now X
