    ANNIVERSARY DECLUTTER THREAD HERE[/QUOTE]


    I can't believe I have achieved all of this today and it's not even 11 oclock yet!!
    Why do I not get a un announced caller when the house looks like this why do they always call when its at its worst?
    I did have a bit of a trauma I read on another thread about putting washing up liquid in the dishwasher instead of a dishwasher tab. Well all the clever people on here probably see whats coming but no not me so I spent a good 20 mins mopping up soap buubles as they poured all over the kitchen floor. Thankfully I was in work yesterday so I was only doing mondays jobs today so floor needed cleaning anyway but what a mess:eek:

    PLEASE COULD I HAVE MY STARS.
    I have no idea how to change the colour of my words can't believe I have managed to strike my lines out!!
    I think a computer course could be in order.

    Hi all,

    I know I'm a day or so late but I hope you lovely peeps wouldn't mind if I joined in? I'm off from work today and am totally fed up with the state of this flat :eek:. I never seem to have the time/energy/motivation to do anything with it! I'll need to take it easy for a few days until my back has healed, but I'm going crazy looking at all the mess, so a slow and steady attack is better than nothing, right? :D

    Please put me right if I'm not posting as I should! Thanks kind and lovely flyladies!
