Can I join this thread? My house has been a mess for 12 years! I love it when I manage to decorate/clean/declutter parts of it and fantasise about having a whole house like that! I completely sympathise with those who are tired - I seem to be fatigued all the time these days and when I'm working I get up at five, drive for nearly an hour each way and by the time I'm home housework is out of the question.
I work in education so I have the summer hols at the moment, and have finally started to do the kitchen up. I've ripped out the cupboards that were falling off the walls, and had the old gas cooker removed (I'm now camping in the living room with my portable hob and a new halogen oven till it's all finished!)
I've stripped and painted one wall, working on the next now. I keep having to come and sit down for a bit, so wanted to join this thread to keep me motivated!
PS Kobe is beautiful Natalie! Aren't hormones weird? Hope you'll be feeling on top of the world soon.I believe in the freedom of spinach and the right to arm bears.

I've reached that "why did I start this?" stage with doing the kitchen up now. It seems to be taking forever and there's so much mess - all my kitchen stuff is piled up in the living room and the kitchen is now covered in old wallpaper - I'm almost ready to cry! I'm off for a shower now, I'll have to clear up the mess in the morning.I believe in the freedom of spinach and the right to arm bears.

jps - hang on in there - it will get better and then you'll be so glad you did it, it always looks horrid before it looks good
Rummer - well done, you must be feeling really pleased and rightfully so
Well I sorted the Kitchen and even mopped the floor but DH has been in there cooking tea and I'm avoiding it as it'll look a mess again
