Where have you hidden everything Claire? You've made great inroads into clearing that clutter, will make it much easier to clean. You've got a lovely bright room too mine's so dark, lovely and dramatic in the winter when you've got the lights on, not so great in summer when you would prefer natural light.

every cupboard was cleared out all the appliances are now on the 2 double units, we had 6 black bags of rubbish :eek:, all the tools and stuff went to the shed, apart from the stuff in the new pics as they are still being used.

Once its all finished my next task will be trying to furnish the big window, if you have any ideas i'd love to hear them.

Claire, well done you, what a difference. You have worked really hard.

Sammy, here is my list

[FONT=&quot]1. Update/decorate/refurnish my home and pay off my remaining mortgage by December 2012.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2. Know what I want to do with the rest of my working life, I have worked full time in the civil service for the last 19 years but I have never been trained in any specific area, I need a focus.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3. Find a career, I hate my present job it depresses/stresses and demotivates me but I feel trapped because I cannot afford to give up the job to retrain. I have a degree and 2 masters but they aren’t really much use for anything and I have no portable skills.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4. Be happier, spend quality time with my OH and my three children.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]5. Make/keep a happy home. I hate housework etc but I also hate clutter and mess yet my home seems to be in a perpetual state of mess and clutter.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]6. Be better organised and more efficient.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]7. Lose weight and be fitter, when I am stressed/depressed/anxious I eat. I need to recognise the symptoms and manage them without resorting to food.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]8. Write, I would like to write, I sometimes supply content for blogs etc and I would like to expand on this and see where it could take me.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]9. Be calm, I am just not calm, sometimes I am lazy and unproductive but I am never calm. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]10. Have fun, I am just a bore and never have much fun with friends/OH/kids etc.[/FONT]


I am such a moan. I have a lovely family and should be thankful for what I have but there is always that something in the back of my mind unsettling me.

This is as it is at the moment, but i've run out of steam.

scaredy_cat

cute kitten, Claire!

postingalwaysposting

I don't do 'I wants' but I do do I would like So I would like...

*A full time job
*A little car that doesn't cost a lot
*My little brother to get a job offer
*A savings pot
*To smile about one thing daily

Thats it, not much I feel I ave eaten about 5 elephants today :eek: Good news is point one maybe accomplished, I shall get point two before September next year

clairewop

need to put cushions and throw in washing machine, wash the covers of the little chairs, still need to tidy table and corner in between the 2 setees. and finish de cluttering the dining room area, which is the biggest challenge, all the boxes in the corner contain beads and jewellery/cardmaking stuff to sort, that will be an elephant in itself :eek:

Then the walls need refreshing cause there's marks all over them. Not sure whether i will attempt to change the curtains as my dad made them, (and he's not here anymore )

Claire, I'm impressed with how well you;ve cleared your elephant.

The cat in your picture looks as though it's about to undo all your hard work.

I'm going to tackle one of my elephants tonight and make some revision notes for my exam which is getting even closer.

Pooky, fingers crossed that your OH get a mobility car.

Right back to this pesky report I go!
