    I have finally sorted the last box of kids artwork - this has been on my list for months, was the last thing left on my Anniversary Challange and Demon sorting lists.:j :j :j

    It feels so good and was actually a laugh showing the pictures to DS1 and saying what do you think you was painting here. :D

    Not sure why I kept putting it off - actually I have a lot of 'emotional stuff' to deal with at the moment as to why I do and don't do stuff - I much prefer physical sorting :o;):(

    Off to write a shopping list and to Mr M next and then I want to do enough in the garden to have the wheelie at bursting point by tomorrow.

    My mum also gave me an Evans voucher today for £25 as a presie to buy new pjs and slippers for my stay which was lovely.
    Hee hee, our contingency plan if ever I get hauled into the hossy is to resurrect Mr LW's PJs that he hasn't worn for over 8 years from the loft, and I'll borrow those!:D

    I'm a lean, mean, list making machine!!!

    Edit: Just realised I've made a list of all the lists I plan to list....
    Yeah, I do that, too..... A list too far, methinks!:D
    I know I'm too late to join for the week but could I tag along for the ride?
    It's never too late! Hop on board, grab a list and join the fun! :o

    I'll join the 13:00 HHC if I may, folks; I want to get the hall bookcases given a proper going over, which means moving a lot of heavy computer techie books from the top of the big one.:eek:

    Just decluttering some lunch.

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    OK I am about, but lacked the umph to do anything so far.
    I am hoping that I can at least get the front room back to a room and not a playground!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
