Friday Ferk Up
Today is the home office/study/computer desk, tidy, dust, delouse, what ever you need to do to make it nice and clean and tidy. Do not do what the moggins does unless you have a plastic end to your hoover nozzle (I keep getting told off by the guy in the computer shop as I hoover inside my computer)
Conservatory/Utility. Declutter and tidy.
Dailies and nightime routines and don't forget to get any uniforms in the wash.

Pigpen I am sure with a house the size of yours you can find a corner that you haven't touched yetOrganised people are just too lazy to look for things

Well, these have to be my two worst rooms, study still has boxes in from when we moved here in November, so tomorrow will be the day then, also utility has become a dumping ground (managed to aviod flying in there so far but youve found me out!!)
Do you ever include gardening on your flying lists, you know 30 mins weeding etc as the spring comes that could be a useful addition.Always on the hunt for a bargain0 -
Susie when everyone has things back under control we will be able to spend days guilt free out in the garden. I don't include things like weeding as I don't plant anything I can't eat. But you can think of all nice new hobbies (such as gardening) with all the free time you will soon have.Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

Now I'm not so sure about this 'freetime' thing.. I have never worked so hard in my life as I have since I joined this list.. mind you I have also lost 3lb in the last 2 weeks as well.. I'm either not eating because I am so busy/exhausted or I am actually burning calories running up and down those stairs 1000 times a day!
We have 'grass' and 'paving' in the garden.. I am looking at having some shrubby things for one side where the grass doesn't grow too well.. but need something super hardy to combat the salt from the salt merchant next door.. it seeps through the brickwork and killed my grass! thinking lavendar and smelly things. All my 'plants' are grown in pots. And the strawberries are being wall mounted thing year.. just don't mention that to the husband just yet.. he doesn't know.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

My bedroom is beautiful! I too managed a bag for the charity shop as it was too hard to stop
I guess study covers the 'ebay' boxes that live under the stairs with me hereI've been desperately planning to do them and I have a freecycle lady coming tomorrow who I've said I will give some extra baby stuff to as she's expecting.
I'm loathe to give it away but none of it ever gets ebayed. I even filtered it three months ago and it's now just really nice baby stuff and my designer clothes that don't fit after having the baby. I should try to eBay five things tomorrow as part of my flying lessons.
Just rambling now but happy to have acheived something again today. Having a well deserved glass of wine before bedEverything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
