    i'm in - off work with a migraine (but they were digging the road up so i don't know why I stayed off work - 150 kids couldn't be any louder!)

    Have cleared loads of paperwork from kitchen and have sorted through a few bills/statements.

    DD2 came home at lunchtime - a half day for staff training...but she's got a tickly cough so we sat and watched a Dr Who and then a CSI!

    DD1 stressing about her mobile being slow/not working - is anyone having trouble with the 3 network today?

    OK so I have sorted a bookcase and have several books ready to donate, also have sorted one stack of paperwork. Loads more to do, but it's a start!
    Tomorrow I'm going to go through the wardrobes and drawers - there's loads of stuff that's inexplicably shrunk whilst hanging there!!!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    3 drawers emptied

    1 binbag filled to bursting

    Found...cards (sentimental value), DD2's dvd's and cd's, DD1's exam results, a very important court document I thought I'd lost, pension info.

    Thank you so much for thinking this list up Dusty, you've really got me motivated.

    Myself and hubby are going to make an appointment this week to write our wills and he is inspired to check his pension provision and what that entails.

    I'm now off upstairs to remove the birthday/christmas/mothers day cards from my knicker drawer...:o:D

    Funny so does mine plus an envelop of my scan pictures from DS2.

    Glad you are all doing so well.

    I need to do another HH tonight and hope that the box is done. I am NOT carrying on with paperwork for the rest of the week but moving on to the other days. I'm not done but I've made a good start and as I said I may repeat this week again next week or the week after.
