    I'm in concentrating mainly on finishing the loft declutter and gardening - I will do my dailies and hoover and mop though.

    This week, would it be A Good Idea, now we've got the paperwork, to write down when insurance policies/MOT/regular prescriptions and the like are due so we all know when they're coming up.... presuming they aren't due now, that is?

    Lessens the likelihood of missing stuff later in the year.
    Well, apart from Christmas that is:xmassmile
    I don't know if I've got rid of last week's cold or it's been replaced by Unclutterer's Dust Related Drip:eek:
