    Evening all

    Not long back from my Aunts. We had a good time but I am really tired now, this weekend has been so busy in a good way but I know I shan't be late to bed.

    Count us in again, The Godfather is due at the weekend and so I need to make sure things are presentable before next weekend!

    Love and HUgs to all.

    I'm in again to a fashion - flooring is partly up and it makes a huge mess!! Tomorrow we have to take up all the flooring that is left in the bedroom and landing - I really hope this new boiler is worth it - upheaval like this I can well do without at the moment. DS's earache may well be proper earache - if he is bad tonight then thats a Doc visit tomorrow and he better be well enough for school!!
    Went to see Dad this afternoon with kiddies - Dad made a huge effort to have his mask off and talk to the kiddies so that was nice for them.

    Love and hugs to all

    Thank you for the thread ladies

    I am in again, hopefully a bit more successfully. Thanks to FCC.

    I am going to aim for level 1s and my own list. In about 10 weeks time I have 2 weeks off and I want to give the house a good spring clean and attack the garden then so I have set myself a challenge. 1 decluttering mission in each room each week, if I do any more than this it is a bonus but we should have more order to clean well then. Hence the level 1 only from the list, I don't want to run before I can walk and decluttering/tidying is more important at the mo.

    My list

    Empty carrier bag in BR

    Tidy shelf in wardrobe in BR
    Tidy tall cupboard in SR
    Clear and sort 1 drawer in coffee table
    Sort document folder
    Sort 1 drawer in kitchen
    Sort medicine cabinet, get rid of old meds and restock
