    so far today I have decluttered breakfast, put out 3 bags of stuff for charity, stripped my bed, emptied and put out the bins, shifted my bed filed all the gibble that was underneath and brought the bin back in!

    Now I have discovered the source of the fly problem - 2 weeks ago I washed out my stinking wheelie bin. Today when it was emptied I found a load of wriggling m*****s in the empty bin. So the bin is now underwater again as I begin the tough process of washing it out and getting it CLEAN AND DRY!

    Can't hoover upstairs until kids are up so will have to content myself with a cuppa and hanging out the washing!

    Morning All.

    Going camping tomorrow with my sis and the kids so need to pack some stuff today. Long time since we went camping before so not sure what to take.

    My car won't drive properly when fully loaded (handbrake sticking on one of the back wheels) so my brother in law is going to have to follow us to the campsite with the gear. OH offered to do it but he drives a removal van, so we might look a bit odd pulling up at the campsite with a removal wagon in tow!!

    Oh good gawd, think we have bed bugs...:(. Have seen these little bug like things over the last week, we thought they were those thunder bug things but, I've found them on the bed. Must have brought them back from the caravan from disneyland paris.

    Which means, everything will have to be boil washed, the mattress will have to go and possibly the bed, and the carpet.

    I'll need to go through DD2's room too.

    Oh good gawd, I don't know where to begin.

    Must be a car day - mine's having a service, MOT and the brakes checked today. I may have to do some flying...

    I have arranged for three bags of magazines to be decluttered via freecycle, so that's a start. I had a sudden energy surge on Saturday and cleared a whole load of stuff.

    :hello:hi to mudbath, just in case you pop in before September, have a great summer.

    onestep - ouch. And you think that will get you out of flying???:D:pYou wish! There's always plenty of paperwork and sorting through drawers, photos into albums, rearrange the bookshelves, polish the silver...:D

    Triker - have you actually been bitten? DS came back with horrendous bites after a school trip to some hostel. If not then they may not be...

    pigpen - words fail me. I'm sure everyone will cope, and please make sure that you have had all the care you need for you.

    G&B - hugs for you and your family this week.
