    Evening all. Thanks for the shout out Dusty :) This week has been a bit crap (family worries) but looks slightly more hopeful now so I'll try to be about more on the next thread. Bath, book and bed now.

    My January Challenge was to decorate DD2's bedroom and I've achieved that. For February the challenge will be to organise paperwork and ebay/ditch anything that needs to be decluttered. I've already made a small start and sorted out the file with all the car info in.

    Ooh well done sunnygirl - you have inspired me :D
    Ok my February challenge is to sort mine and DH's bedroom out and then at least start on DS1's :) I shall inform all of progress as I go along :)
    For tonight my plans are to:
    [STRIKE]Finish cooking late tea/supper[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Feed animals[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Finish drying clothes[/STRIKE]
    Wash towels, chef whites and school tops - [STRIKE]realised there were other clothes I needed to wash instead and not these and did them :)[/STRIKE]
    Dry towels, chef whites and tops - [STRIKE]as above[/STRIKE]
    Iron clothes - hmm shouldn't but doing in morning, need to go to bed!
    Prepare lunch for work tomorrow - [STRIKE]no bread but have cup a soup, fruit and snacks ready instead :)[/STRIKE]
    Phone friend
    [STRIKE]Phone dad[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Shiny sink - nice and ready for the morning for a change![/STRIKE] YAY!!!
    [STRIKE]Watch tv or film with youngest [/STRIKE]
    That will do for tonight I think :)
