I've woken up this morning in a ruthless mood
and have already sorted the toiletry rack in the bathroom again and emptied a basket that was in there...does anyone else find that the first clear out gets rid of some stuff then the week after you can go back and be much more ruthless?
I'm also going to see if I joined freecycle here as I have a few bits that I could get rid of that way.Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
