    Hey all - hope your flying is going well.

    I havent gotten to the kitchen yet; I started upstairs and have been working my way down.

    LO bedroom has been completely defluffed - I even climbed up to the high places which dont get done very often! my bedroom has been decluttered, defluffed and have hoovered right through upstairs. Off in to the bathroom now and will do the doors and skirtings in the hall before I come down... then the kitchen might get a look in...!!!! xx

    Saving Jane the toots list is a list of jobs that Toots originally posted as her master list of jobs needing to be done, and some of us have addapted it to our own master list and the names just stuck as a "Toots" list :)

    Ive also decluttered another 2 bags in the spare room :)

    thats 6 bags of crap ive sorted out today, ok its still a work in progress but the room looks much tidier now which is good.
