My home is a mess

  • I read this thread every day but not posted on here before.
    I was at work today and some of my co-workers were speaking about clearing out their cupboards when they went home. Well it gave me the inspiration to start on wardrobe which has been bulging at the seams for months now.
    I've got 6 bags for the charity shop from just my clothes alone, not started on DH's yet :o
    Tonight I've been sorting out my collection of cross stitch magazines. I have hundreds of them.......seriously, hundreds! So after much thought, have decided to photocopy the charts that I will definately stitch in the future and then hopefully sell the magazines, probably at a car boot sale. I'll be glad to get the cupbaord space back instead of climbing over mountains to get into bed!

    Hello Pinkcrafter and. . . . doh!!! I'm sure there was someone else - brain fog!!

    Just drawn up the Lottie plan with DH [he's had a couple of glasses of wine] much debate and some would say arguing and its exactly how I want it lol

    I have seeds that I'm not going to sow and others that need to be bought, decided not to do Pot's as we need the space for other things - may do Pot's again next year.

    Sleep well all

  • Well this will be my first full weeks work since before Christmas so taking it a bit easy. Got home at 5 and then did another hour on the computer finishing up work :mad:

    OH had cooked veg. pasta with quorn which was delicious, but after that couldn't drag myself away from the sofa (swear it's magnetic).

    Well done to everyone who has made progress with tidying/decluttering etc. suspect mine will mainly happen at weekends when I have time and energy.

    Well, the chicken, chorizo and potato tray bake was very scrummy. Will definitely make it again, but need to look out for chorizo on offer.

    Still haven't tidied the lounge, and had to get up early this morning to get the pooch to the vet's for 8am so am home now, fueled up on coffee and about to shower and dress and start the day again :rotfl:

    Need to sort out some washing, tidy the lounge (well, a bit of the lounge - don't want to over-do things), find a few more bits for the declutter challenge then I'm going to sit down and work through the first lesson of the 'codeyear' challenge

    have a good day peeps

    Morning all

    Done the school run, popped into Garden Centre and got some vital bits I needed for Lottie - any excuse!! Came home, done dogs next door, hoovered LR, hoovered DR, moved some furniture out of DR into LR [originally done to make space for Xmas Tree]

    I'm now decluttering/tidying the DR and will then do the LR

    Have a good day everyone
