    I am in again...
    But I am sort of following my own list this week, as I have a busy week.

    I am trying to give everywhere a proper spring type clean as well...
    I moved all furniture in my bedroom, and hoovered today.
    I also cleared out all of my drawer :D
    Tomorrow, I am going to do the wardrobe :eek:

    I am not sure what room to do next.... I think it will be either the living room or kitchen, as to be honest they will be less work than the spare bedroom. :eek:

    Thanks to the thread ticker overers :T

    Piggers - when you run out of stuff to do in your own house, can you come down here and do mine please?

    Well, I had it pointed out to me I have been flinging etc for 10 years.. I don't think the end will be in sight for a VERY long time!

    Piggers - squeak seems to have a lot of lovingly knitted cardies by your very fair hands but does the babe had anything else to wear? Or is it just cardis that you can knit? What about nighties, booties, mittens? :p

    Why would he need woollen extremities in July and August?????

    Naked tootsies are a must!! DD1 and DD2 didn't wear anything on their feet until October and they were both July babies too.

    I'm in again.

    Another binbag or 3 filled although the recycling bin has been overflowing since last week.:eek:

    Made fish and chips, did my own batter and everything...:D...it looked geat but didn't taste that good but ah well.:rotfl:

    Also made honey buns, they are delish but very sweet.

    Rearranged my kitchen a bit more again and tried to declutter where I could.

    Loads more washing done and hung out.

    Need to check weather forecast as I don't know what its going to be like, more of the same or cooling down?

    Catch you all later and if Lady liberty and Diva pop by in the early hours I'm waving furiously at you both... :hello::wave::hello::wave:xxxxx

    Hi! Please can I join in the fun! I'm starting over after at many different attempts at getting organised. I've been following the thread for ages. I registered a long time ago and I've been trying to sign in with no success - until today!! Woo hoo!

    We have just had quite a lot of stuff done on the home front including a new kitchen and rewiring. This meant a total upheaval but also meant a few lightbulb moments when it came to gettng rid of stuff.

    At the moment we are in the middle of a massive decluttering operation following the rewiring. There is stuff everywhere. I'll have to say I'm starting with Level One and hoping for the best.

    Looking forward to joining in.

    Morning All

    I'm in again this week and will hopefully do a bit better than I've done the last few weeks! Thanks to the fantastic four.

    I've done most of today's list already so that's a good start.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
