    Oh yes can I join in too :j . I ahem didn't get to the end of the 1st challenge:o .
    The place is to pot, after I wasn't well week before last and I haven't caught up. Today I have tidied DS bedroom (again:mad: ), and have moved all the t-shirts and short sleeved shirts from his wardrobe. putting the bigger t-shirts away for next summer and the ones that won't fit next year into the rag-bag. This actually sounds more organised than it is, cos if I'd done this for the end of last week, I could have given it to the kids school as they have a collection every term and they weigh the stuff and give so much to school funds. I could put it all in our recycling box next week, but I think I'll store it in shed until schools next rag-bag day.

    On a more positive note, I have bought all the Xmas pressies bar 2, and wrapped all but 4 up, and the only reason I haven't wrapped those 4 is cos they were too big for the sheets of paper I'd got and the rolls of paper are still in the loft. I did this the other week when DS went on a sleepover with Beavers and was out [STRIKE]of my hair[/STRIKE]for nearly 24 hours :D

    DH asked me what would put me in a passionate mood, and I told him the house being tidy and all the laundry up to date :p , well it was worth a try:D

    Yes please I need to join in :j. I have managed to sort out the smallest bedroom and even have the spare bed made up but the middle bedroom is full of clutter, including most of my crafting stuff. I really don't know where to start :confused: I guess it is a case of How do you eat an elephant? - one bite at a time! (not really into eating lovely elephants though!;) )

    Anyway still have the freezers to empty, defrost clean and then fill with Christmas type food as we have the family down for Christmas week. Meals are getting really interesting this week!:D
    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

    I'll be joining in on this one too... I have mostly Christmas prep stuff now, along the lines of gifts to make up so I'll be posting my list re these when I've compiled it :rotfl: Should really get on. We went to see the ILs today and I need to have a tidy up ;) Will go and get on with it so I have a fairly clear start tomorrow. :wave:

    Right - I'm jumping in too.

    Today I've cleaned the bathroom and tidied and dusted the living room and cleaned the window inside and out, just need DH to run the vacuum round (it's a dyson and I find it soooo heavy) and we'll be ready for the decs.

    Tomorrow I must clear the bags of presents out of the hall and landing but that's all i'll have time for because I've got w**k, then more w**k.

    Way to go Pigpen :beer: , I am as always lost in awe at just how much you manage to get done. I do so much less than you and I only have two to worry about.

    I will join in on this one once we have moved and Christmas is allowed to start.
