    Ok I have managed to half fill a binbag with some of the contents of the coffee table drawer.

    Off to see what else I can find to throw away and locate the feather duster...

    I have finally worked out a way to get the list on my post without copying and pasting. Sometimes I wonder if I have two brain cells to rub together :o

    Anyway, so far I have lit two purple scented candles, wearing a purple hair bobble (will wear a purple vest later, after my run), done the hoovering through the whole house, dusted living room and family room, cleaned two bathrooms, tidied childrens rooms, unloaded and loaded wm, unloaded and loaded td, unloaded and loaded dw and decluttered a cup of tea and breakfast :D

    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.

    My first day - vacuuming done, dusting/dewebbing too (who knew the vacuum hose reaching far enough to 'dust' the top of the picture rail?)
    decluttering done to the point of it all being in one pile on the table!
