            Hi everyone
 Hope you are all keeping well, sorry but not had time to read the thread
 Thanks to the ladies for the thread
 I have spent 2 days sorting out the kiddies rooms and have removed............11 yes thats right, 11 bags for charity, dump or the loft - they both have very small rooms so its made a huge difference. DD helped to do her room and she is very proud of herself as its quite hard for her to let go of stuff. DS has no idea what has gone from his room as I did it whilst he was otherwise occupied [thank god for the Wii!!] and then I re-arranged his room so everything has moved - sneaky or what hehe.
 Next room on the hit list is the Dining Room but that involves alot of ironing and I do mean alot!!
 Swimming tomorrow
