    Afternoon :D i haven't had a read through but while the motivation to do some ironing has hit I thought I might as well take advantage.

    I'm still not managing to get past level one really. Every "new" thing seems a bit daunting so I'm hoping that in a few weeks/months it will come easier. Ex OH brought round DS's baby clothes at the weekend so have washed them and passing them onto the charity shops (I might keep one or two little bits :o) but to be honest his babyhood makes me feel a bit sad as I had PND. Anyway, also decluttering other bits as I go, like a wine rack that always stands empty, a horrible pashmina from ex-MIL, etc. Why have I got these things???

    Tuesday ~ Living room, Hallway and Porch!

    Level Two
    Organise the CD's/DVD's/VHS tapes.. fling the ones that don't work and make sure they are in the correct boxes! Are there any that can be rehomed? Done

    Clean curtain tracks so they run smoothly (furniture polish on them after wiping is wonderful!)

    3. Have a check to see if you are still with the cheapest supplier for your utilities.. if we can save a few quid over the winter on our fuel then we should!
    4. Check when insurance policies are up for renewal and make a note on the calendar to remind yourself, many companies now do not tell you when you are coming to the end of your term.

    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.

    Floor found and hoovered, will mop tomorrow, sofas hoovered and wiped and pillows plumped, DVDs tidy, TV unit wiped of yoghurt marks and a few bits of paperwork decluttered ready to post. Off to Mr T now, but have noticed how grim and thick with dust my wall lights are so will give them a good mop down when I get back. Need to decide what to have for tea, it will be something with mash since I ordered a potato ricer and it just arrived :)
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy

    Front hall has been cleared, cleaned and tidied. Looks loads better now. :D Wm back on and i should have one load to do later, then i'll make a start on the bin bags. I would like to get three sorted tonight.

    Best get Rhys ready for the school run...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    DD3 arrived safely at her destination so hopefully she will be fine and arrive back safely on Friday!

    I am SOOOOOOO cross if feather spitting were on the list I would have completed it a zillion times over.. FW (yes he has once again excelled himself!!) told the girls on Sunday he would pick them up from school today.. I just got a text.. guess what it said... Oh, Yes.. 'Can't pick them up busy helping someone move house' .. so, hopefully the 2 little pinks who will not understand why he isn't there when he said he would be, won't be too upset they have to put up with boring little me!!!

    My sis brought a large box of clothes round for Squeak to grow into.. and a highchair.. that'll save me some pennies!

    We did hand prints and foot prints of Squeak so they are drying in the cot.

    Evans boots delivered.. I ordered 6 pairs and intend keeping maybe 2.. though my mother may want one of the others. I got 2 belts too.. they are IMMENSE.. I got small as that is supposed to be 14-18 ish.. and they go round me twice!.. they are so big I double checked the size!

    Best go comb the nest and feed the pest before we head out to school..

    Loads of washing done
    Loads of drying
    some onthe line
    kitchen cleaned again then OH made it messy again

    I am also STARVING!! and in dire need of a haircut!
