    I'm behind already :mad: :rolleyes:

    I was at work a bit longer than expected, haven't had any lunch yet.

    I started sorting all the junk on the bed. I have tons of stationery (not sure where it all came from lol) so I thought I'd sort that first, in the kitchen. That resulted in lots of piles of paper, stickers, post-it pads (can't remember buying those) and pots of staples, paperclips, clips and some sticky paper things that I don't even know what you would use them for :confused: So I now have a messy bedroom and a messy kitchen :rolleyes:


    Troo - sounds like an ideal candidate for a 27 item boogie :)

    Everyone - you're doing fantastic!!! :T :T :T :T

    Keep it up!
    :dance:There's a real buzz about the neighbourhood :dance:
  • Gosh once you start this it gets addictive doesn't it :rotfl:

    Just went to make myself a well earned coffee, and started clearing the junk corner of the kitchen. You know the one, it's where everyone just dumps stuff regardless of it's real home. :confused: Looks lovely now:j

    Then LO wanted her bottom wiped so tidied more stuff in the bathroom and cleared out a cabinet.:rolleyes:

    Sorted out the hallway and my bedroom floor and now have a washload going and all the towels have been folded and put AWAY. <
    points to word hoping the rest of the household will get to grips with it too!
    AWAY AWAY AWAY:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Right I now have my well deserved coffee, and might even have a bite to eat:rolleyes: I forgot that but at least I cleaned my teeth this morning:rotfl: :rotfl:

    everyone's doing really well:j

    Just having a little break - it is really hot here and hoovering has made me hotter.

    Troo I so love your signature - that is my mother to a tea - did you make it up or read it somewhere.

    Done mopping have trapped myself in family room - wet floor both ways out so enjoying a breather. DS1 and DS2 will be home within 15 minutes so think I'll hoover sofa in this room - always interesting what you might find!

    See you later guys

    It was almost a scoop-it-all-up-in-one-go-and-chuck-it-all-out boogie :rotfl: But I sorted it out, it's all in a letter tray - 5 trays high :eek:
