Big CBA mood here but at least I have finished level 1. Decluttering is going to be more difficult this week as I only have big, fiddly things to do. I may save them up for my day off on Wednesday and spend 25 mins in each room. That should just about finish MY decluttering and tidying, then I can work on OH.

pigpen be proud. After 10+ years I have finally stripped the sofa to send the covers out to be dry cleaned. Now I have to clean the floor of the carp that came off the sofa when I removed the covers.
Need to give DH a big hug tonight despite his changing to an on call tonight and ruining my menu plans - came down this morning to find he'd emptied and reloaded DW and done all the hand washing up. AwwwwwwGC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -
I'm in again this week, even though we were out for most of the weekend the house looks the pits. Suprised i've done as much as I have today as not feeling great, taking Ds2 for his swimming lesson in abit then a rest I think.

Well I got sent home at lunchtime - only stayed that long because we'd got an observation second lesson. Went to the chemist who's given me a supposedly fast-acting throat spray - had 2 doses so far and it's done nothing. I'm freezing cold, got a banging head and a temperature of 101. Of course DH isn't home tonight.
Get well soon.Afternoon campers, I've returned from my dark pit - wow that BD wouldn't go away and then when I sent it away it kept coming back. But good news it is now chained up outside and is staying there..:j

Hello all and welcome to the newbies and hugs and spoons for those feeling poorly xx
Been to college, picked up DD and fed her. Swimming in a mo and then shower and do DD'S hair, then I will do the little bit of ironing I have
I want to do the check list that aj was doing last week and make my own Toots list.
A friend is moving and has had valuers in(same street, smaller house but bigger garden) and just made me wonder how much ours is worth, but will need a serious clear out first.
Catch you laters xx0
