Happy Birthday to mumto5 and sockdrawer and belated Happy Birthday to jjef Hope you have lovely days (and hope you had a lovely day yesterday jjef!)

Neveah, how awful, sending you big hugs x

Everyone seems to be doing really well and those lists are getting shorter; doesn't seem like it when you start but it's amazing how soon you can cross things off isn't it.

I asked DH if I can help him declutter and I swear he got all panicky and said I was NOT to touch his stuff; I said I won't throw anything away, I'll just help him but no, he was adamant. I really thing he has a problem with decluttering but he won't admit it; he's ex-Army and they're meant to be tidy as move regularly but DH does not fit into that mould :eek:! At least I tried.

weekend extras: all upstairs windows and floors, all downstairs windows and floors, box shunt in the study.

Doing ok.....just about to tackle my desk down stairs. I have loads of HUGE floor plans not put away....I think I'm going to pin them on a wall so I can look at them.

I don't like weeks like this where I have things going on in all rooms, and few looking really good. Dining room looks ok atm...and the second sitting room....which is the dogs bedroom....so as decent as a dogs' bedroom can look! no where that guests can get in without mess though...front or back!

I'm about to start the long process of moving a litter tray, an inch or two a day for the benefit of flighty feral. It has to cross a door way during this process.



I think I'm going to make different lists and copy them here when I am more organised. using the extras from the set lists though...like clearing out cupboards etc. That way I can break them down differently (I use longer lists with more on them so can tick off more )
