    Here we go lostinrates..........


    Thanks for the HHC :) I got the human and dog washing up done, the chicks swept out and some windows open for airing. It might not sound terribly impressive but every mug in the house had been used!

    I need the break now, but think I'll go for another HHC in a bit. :)

    Morning all

    Pouring with rain here, luckily I haven't got enough washing for a load. Tidied up, washed up etc but that's it. I've done all the lists this week and I really can't be bothered to do anything else :(
  • Morning all. Loads to do here and my house is a sty. Kitchen smells of wee! One load of washing is on, next to reclaim some of the kitchen.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    I have done 4 more decluttering challenges all in LR but as there is very little I can do in the spare room I have used some of those. OH finishes for Easter holidays 2 weeks today and I am determined to have at least tidied and decluttered my stuff by then. Any newbies reading please do not panic about my time scale, we have a VERY small house with very little storage space which is how I am able to do this so quickly. Trying to get everything sorted so when my Easter hols start I can just clean and spend some time in the garden as that is one huge decluttering mission :eek:

    I have been a busy bee this morning. Have just been round the house sitting in each room and making a list of the jobs I have been meaning to do and now have my very own Toots list. I am sure there were some other things I wanted to do but my brain decluttered them without letting me know :rotfl:

    I have deleted the things left on Pigpen's list that I have no intention of doing today. Will get on with my final few things and then try and salvage my nails before we go away for the weekend. It is OHs birthday tomorrow so I have booked a lovely hotel a couple of hours North so I am looking forward to that.
