    Morning Messies!

    Good luck Natalie. May your little messy arrive with no fuss and happy to crack on with chores! ;) Only joking about the chores bit.

    Went on a trip to Harewood House yesterday with childrens centre, stressful departure OH got right up my nose!! Had a lovely day weather glorious. Then I lost my purse:mad: It was a small radley coin purse I had bought by my SIL for my 40th it had about £10 in it. I then noticed my Thomas Sabo charm bracelet(my birthday present from various people) the starfish charm from my DS had dropped . off. I hate lobster clasps, that's 3 this week only found 1. I am really upset. It's raining here. I'm hoping to make bread in my new BM (the £4 bargain from car boot) and keep the children entertained
    in this extremely cluttered and messy LR. Hey ho. Have a good one messies!

    I work for a jeweller's and we've found Sabo quite bad for this- their clasps aren't very hardwearing at all :( The ones you've found, if you've still got the receipt they can send it back and will send you a new one x

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

    Grrrr in true Flylady style could someone fling a mule at me - I've just had breakfast [Cheese savoury bisuits and a coffe] finished the book I was reading and its already 11am - make time stop please. I also need to go into the garage and get something but for the love of money I can't remember what!!!!

    Right then, I'm signing off now until 3pm when hopefully I'll be back to report a long list of stuff done

    Good Afternoon Messies

    I have been having a wonderful time and as a result my house has slowly descended back into chaos :o

    Been trying to de-clutter but I also seemed to have made more mess :rotfl:. So I have opened up the windows to let the fresh air in and I am going to try and tackle a couple of rooms today and the rest tomorrow. Then I am going to spend next week keeping on top of things so that I am organised before I go back to work.

    Trolly-my daughter has an old fashioned charm bracelet. Hers is from an antique fair, and we've been adding charms on special occasions for some years now. But there are loads of bracelets (and masses of charms) on Ebay. And we take new charms to an old fashioned jeweller to have them soldered on...

    I haven't had a very productive day. And I seem to have been stung for half a new laptop by my son. Given that he's managed to save up half, I agreed to an early Christmas present. I think he hopes I'll have forgotten about it by Christmas...but I won't :D

    However, I've done a super job on the study, mostly by throwing all the stuff the children have decided they can dump in there onto the living room floor instead. And now my beloved offspring seem to have slunk upstairs without dealing with it. I may be some time... ;)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    That would not even touch the surface in my house.

    I have spent time cleaning out my larder today, loads of stuff to get rid of. Even has space to start getting in some more longer term stores.

    I have a tidy larder shame that nobody will see it. Just a shame about the rest of the house :rotfl:

    Might tackle another kitchen cupboard tomorrow. Will have to get rid of the rest of the stuff from the larder first. That is littered around the kitchen at the moment :eek:

    Another day another mess to clean:(

    Yours

    Hello everyone, is it ok if I join in to?

    Currently my house is overrun with toys, clothes and generally all the cupboards are bursting at the seams! There is only 3 of us, myself, OH & nearly 5 DS.

    My plan is that when DS goes to school later this month I will spend the time to slowly declutter the house.
