    Well,

    Porch was in a real need of a sort out so completely emptied it, washed down PVC, wiped glass and got so carried away re painted walls. Even got hubby to put some shelves in the meter cupboard which I have been [STRIKE]nagging[/STRIKE] asking him to do since we moved here nearly 5 years ago.

    Porch now looks lovely but the contents of it are now all splayed around the living room which I did yesterday. :mad:

    I must get on with some writing his afternoon and hubby has had to go out so it won't be shifted now until later. Needs a good sort through too as despite several pairs of shoes I only ever wear one or two pairs. :rotfl:

    Kids will be home in a couple of hours and soon be demanding tea. Wednesday is Family Night (We turn TV off and all do something together) so I can see this pile remaining until they go to bed.

    Luckily I have a free morning tomorrow so can catch up on what I have missed today. But must be done by lunchtime as I have a friend popping in!

    Hope things are going well for others and you are all having a good day.

    Half of it argues with the human digestive system.. red meat for example is inedible it just sits and rots in your stomach.. its nasty..

    And having looked closer.. it would mean I would live on dust and goodwill!! And the odd carrot! Great..

    I may just cry...

    Oh's mum writes her own meal plan.. BLEURGH!

    Weather permitting!

    The problem with our living room is definately clutter. I have decluttered most of the drawers, cupboards etc but there is a unti with a lot of OHs stuff on that looks messy. If all the surfaces were clear then it would be quicker to dust but I am always moving it about first so it takes longer...may be I should just dust around it! We also have too much furniture really but we don't really have an option until we move to a bigger house. I may see what OH thinks.

    When my back is a bit happier I will start wiping the paintwork in the hall, stairs and landing.
