    So far: (as your lists look so good!)

    Emptied dishwasher
    half filled dishwasher
    made dog biscuit dough (will cook later)
    finished sorting through CD/DVD cabinet
    half way through decluttering shelf unit above PC area

    Also had Mum on the phone for an hour - she's moving soon but it's never easy, she's got added complications with a difficult family situation going on, so she likes to have a chat! I'm just glad she's moving away from certain nasty manipulative family members - she should have done it years ago!

    Off to find the microfibre dusters! :rotfl:
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

    Afternoon messies and welcome to all the new members.

    Had a few rough days and a bit of a meltdown so really behind again. I have come to the conclusion that my head has to decide what needs doing and then just not let my body know until the last minute. That way the body gets no chance of deciding what is going to swell or drop off today just to avoid doing anything!!!:D

    Kitchen has survived an onslaught of therapeutic baking- scones, bread and a crumble are cooling. Crockpot on with soup. Washing machine on for second time today. Off to make some money.

    Have a good day.

    Silly question, do you find that crumbs breed in your kitchen? or is it just mine...

    Fizzbitz - that's lots of baking. If you need any help decluttering that lot please shout.;)

    I haven't got much done today, I really need to pull my finger out with the ironing.:mad:

    Hope everyone is OK.

    LBF - the mad feeling to get stuff done has now gone!! Hope your little one feels better very quickly

    KT - my kitchen floor breeds crumbs and dog hair - as soon as its cleaned its yucky again

    Popped out to the local charity furniture warehouse to see what they have - just got to get DD to say that she absolutely loves the dressing table that I love and then I'll get it for her - gentle nudging needed me thinks lol

    Cleared a worktop and done 2 washes and filled DW

    Off to get food now cos I'm all done in

    Hi all,

    Managed to finally get the washing from yesterday on the line, but as it was slightly spitting I don't know if it will dry lol... fingers crossed. Also my OH put the stacked dishes in the dw and put it on, so we have clean plates and cutlery YAY!

    My task for today is to put away all the clean clothes in the bedroom, but I only have 3 hours as I am looking after nephew 5-7pm (sis not back from work and nursery charge thru the nose after 6pm). When I get back from there it's tea, tv (I may look into clearing during breaks, poss sewing repairs etc) and then bed.

    My crumbs breed too lol and I think the reason that we never see other's untidy houses is cos they are running round like loonies shoving things in cupboards just before you visit. (;) I ofc have never done that before...lol).

    I may be contemplating that course of action when OH's friend visits soon, but that depends on what cupboard space I have left!

    I'm not complaining, I'm supporting the process of continuous improvement. :p

    Stepping off the property ladder for now, may climb back on later.
