Paperwork is definitely my thing too - books, magazines, the odd newspaper I've kept, old paperwork of my own, things I've been meaning to do, its dreadful :rotfl:2023: the year I get to buy a car0

To think about 20 years ago there was talk of a paper free world with the introduction of computers - how wrong they were!
Planning on getting DS2's pictures done on Tuesday this week and hopefully the sewing box/defuzzing tomorrow - I really want to get my list finished by the end of the month.
I'm going to start a flylady goes outside thread on the greenfingered board later in the week so I'll post a link in case any of you want to join me:DThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Dusty - Ill join your gardening one, need to think about what should be done and when so you'll be my inspiration
Still decluttering here - got nearly 3 bin bags of rubbish out of DD's room this week so that was brill [she likes to hoard] will try to do DS room next and then ours, we have big cupboards in there where all the tat goes and I'm sure better use could be made of them
Going to declutter alot of money this month as both cars have to be MOT'd and mine needs a service too so will be trying to think of cheap things for the kiddies to do over the 2 weeks hols - why am I always skint at hol time sigh!!
Everyone deserves a huge pat on the back for doing so well
