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.Official Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang0 -
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
