    My god you lot do a lot I'm a day! I managed to do all the little things like the washing and dishwasher, but only managed to clean one bathroom, wipe only the dirtiest of skirting boards and clean only the two dirtiest windows. Perhaps I should try to finish a job before starting a new one? I am very easily distracted!

    Have a productive day ladies.

    You will get there as the others have said try not to worry about it just do lots of little spurts of decluttering/cleaning you will soon notice a difference.

    serena Goodluck to DS on his theory test and I am sure he will find a job soon it obviously wasn''t the right one for him

    Jojo Goodluck with your driving test in october I remember when I took mine I pulled out on a roundabout and cut up a police motorcyclist:o drove like an idiot back to the test centre thinking I had failed and he passed me :rotfl::rotfl:

    In my HHC I got the understairs cupboard done :T:T all the toys are in the right boxes and all back on the shelves.

    I did find a winter Jacket that DS used to wear that no longer fits him if anyone needs a boys jacket aga 1-1.5 let me know and I will post it to you.

    Hi flyladies! i didn't find my motivation last night so I've two days worth of flying to catch up with when I get back from work tonight. We're going to OH's parents for tea so some energetic scrubbing will be good to burn some calories beforehand as tea is bound to be naughtier than if we had it at home!

    Oh and while I remember I need to do the books for the agricultural show this week (I'm the treasurer) and hopefully declutter a couple of pounds at weigh in tomorrow!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I definitely think decluttering is a necessity. I have storage for stuff, but it's full of junk I don't use and probably don't want. Husband will certainly be an unwilling participant in the activity, since he is currently clinging on for dear life to two broken coffee machines. The intention is to apparently fashion some sort of frankencoffeemaker from them. One day. Sigh.

    Anywho, big girl to nursery in a mo, little boy back to bed hopefully then on with some jobs. Getting there.
