    Me too - I've just put 2 things on Netmums. Still got loads of stuff to put on but I'll get there!

    Flying wise, done all dailies and spent a lot of time in the garden - managed to fill the green bin for the bin men tomorrow. I bought us a Wii Fit Plus with the money from typing on Saturday so may try to declutter some calories later.

    I am sorting the boys stuff when I summon the energy and motivation to go in their stinking pit of a room.. It is so traumatic for DS3 I hate doing it but he will wear stuff that is way too small because he can't cope with new things!

    You are all making me feel really guilty about procrasinating in sorting through my wardrobe.

    I have a wardrobe I haven't even opened in at least 2 years, it will be a bit like christmas when I go and find out what is in there, I nearly opened it this year, I think my easter bunnies are in it, but left it to late for easter :o

    Planted lots of lovely veg seeds, my mate said if I see a bloke in the back garden with a balaclava and a knapsack full of weedkiller, don't shoot.................I promised to aim low:rotfl:

    house is a mess, one day left of my lovely holiday:(

    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T

    I got a tray of 6 euonymus plants (two each of three types) a couple of weeks ago from a well known DIY store. Only small as they were marketed for containers so, as I haven't cleared a space for them yet, I decided to pot them up as I could see roots at the bottom of the pots.

    When I started to handle them I realised that each pot was four rooted cuttings. So I re-potted one of each, just in case, and split up the other.
    Started with 3X2 - now got, potentially, 3X5:T

    Kitchen is so much clearer. One corner and the table still to go.

    I'll light the BBQ, feed the cats and then see if I can tackle it.

  • Moam has washed & dried a few mountains, but ironing them will have to wait. All this talk of bootsales, has us sorting & packing. to do a boot tomorrow. I will have a decluttered house!

    DH to my surprise has joined in with gusto, even DS has sorted out his pile of too go stuff and has been fairly helpful. *falls backwards with shock*

    Quick burger & cuppa break, then onwards and upwards....

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    All tidy here apart from the LR which is covered partly in papers for my assignment. So will clean it properly when I have submitted on Tuesday

    Tidied out a kitchen cupboard this morning, all washing in off the line dry, list written for tomorrow of quick jobs to to 1-10, dog walked on nice and bright and breezy afternoon, early tea eaten as felt hungry which was leftovers from last night and now feel v.full as was early!

    See you all on the new thread

    We went up to Brassington to do some climbing today, then had a sneaky chinese. SS2 has emptied the DW but I need to get on only poor George is sat on my knee holding my arm down - poor, starved, neglected, lonely (fat) cat.
