    11 dogs :D. My home is fur-lined :rotfl::rotfl::(.

    OMG I can't deal with the very short hairs of my one lovely mutt in the house, but 11? I love dogs, but that's too much for me. Are they house dogs or yard dogs? I am seriously in awe!

    My house is fur lined too - but I am not stressing myself about that. Another thing to be addressed at some point - shave the cats!

    plastic bags for now, one they are organised into those, you can decide what you need to buy for storage. Put labels on them or masking tape write the contents on and tie the handles together. I have about ten of those waiting for some inspiration to strike :)

    They are sort of half and half ;). The oldies are house dogs. The youngsters are outside in pens during the day - but all come in at night to eat and sleep. And they all have long coats :(.

    Then there are the two Siamese cats ....... :eek::o:o

    Now do you understand why my house is a mess!! :D

    I actually bought some plastic storage tubs and sorted and labelled them to fill with clothes according to size (again my weight is something that sometimes gets out of control). At least they are stacked away now instead of getting in the way. I love my storage boxes (we don't have lots of cupboards so they are the practical solution.

    I got fed up with ebay as I had piles and piles of stuff awaiting ebay that I ended up charity shopping it and freecycling. I have two big black bags full already and I am planning on doing some more tonight but I do not know what tasks to do - I have big jobs to do but I dont want to start anything and not complete it.

    yea if it dont sell im taking it to charity shops.. cant move for sacks of clothes.
    I decided to get couple hrs sleep then tackle more.. washing and cleaning rubbish tonight, got a wine spritzer so thats helping:D
