    Afternoon ladies,

    Hope all is well.

    I decided as the kids are off school for a week to make a big start at weekend de-cluttering as oh at home to help sort the kids out. I got loads done and my bedroom is now very fabulous.

    today is the first chance I have had to get on the PC since Saturday!

    I am not copping out (honest) but this week I am going to potter getting all obvious and dailies done, then next week I will get down and dirty once the Rugrats are back at school. Purely so they cannot see what I am throwing away as its the big boys bedroom next week hopefully Monday and I am gutting it.

    My challenge this week and I think forever will be to Iron every day or every other day (see slipping already just thinking about it;) I must stop trying to top Mount Everest!:rotfl:

    Have a good day y'all xx
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?

    Ok found the link about eating frogs and believe it or not - I have got that book!
    Ok here's my frog list:

    1. Sort out under stairs and pantry
    2. De-clutter cold room
    3. Sort out DS1's bedroom
    4. Sort out clothes in bedroom
    5. Clear out airing cupboard
    6. Sort out kitchen
    7. Sort out porch
    8. Put cd's in alphabetical order
    9. Continue with one of the above - whichever has more to do
    10. Continue with one of above - whichever has more to do

    Ok frog list done but think I probably would have been better to choose one room and broken it down into 5 - 10 frogs because there is soooo much to do in each!
    I shall try :)
    Going to have a look at first page now and see what I'm supposed to be doing and then hand pc over to hubby :)
    Happy blessing :)

    Would it be worth breaking it down to one drawer, or one shelf or a foot of wardrobe rail of each area at a time??

    I suppose it depends on how you work best - do you need wardrobe space first, or a clear shelf?

    So far this afternoon I've

    Cleared drainer
    Washed 2 lots of dishes
    Dried and put away 1st lot
    Emptied and reloaded WM
    Put washing on line - hoping the rain will hold off for a bit
    Cleaned microwave
    Cleaned freezer
    Cleaned toaster
    Cleaned WM
    Cleared main work surface and cleaned
    Brought bins back in

    That's about it I think

    Revised plan for this evening is - pick DD's friend up at 4, have tea - kids wants take away, drop DS off at my bro's house at 7 so he can have a sleepover there. I've also got Mr S coming between 5 & 6 so that fits nicely in the middle.

    Better go and empty some of the stuff out of my car before we go and pick DD's friend up.
