    Happy anniversaries, Jenny.

    I'm dressed (in a fashion) and the other urgent stuff didn't take quite so long. Have just made another hot drink as it's really cold here. Once that's gone I'll be off upstairs. Not looking forward to it, but having a nice bath in a clean bathroom tonight should be a good incentive.

    Just let me know when the flylady bus passes through here, and I'll hop on board, though.

    ETA Why would my throat feel bruised (not sore) all of a sudden? I can't remember hurting it at all.

    Since my last post i have

    Fed myself & Ds2
    Wm x 1
    Washed up
    S&S KItchen
    Decluttered contents of 1 cupboard and 1 big bookcase

    Only the desk left to declutter and then my office will be done. :D Now when the boxes arrive i'll just need to fill them in here. Utility room is next on my hit list then bathroom, kitchen, living room (including 2 understairs cupbopards :eek:), my bedroom, Ds2's bedroom and the garden. Ds1 can pack his own room up so i won't have to do that.

    Right back to it.

    ETA i've filled another black bag of rubbish, another black bag for the charity shop and a paper/card recycling bag.

    If anyone is wearing fluffy mules, could you spare one and fling it my way? Still sitting here, catching up with odd bits of fred. :o

    OK, going to make some lunch for DS2 and me and start HHC at 14.15.
  • Mrs C I will join you, i ended up decluttering a nap instead of my HHC earlier, so really need to get my finger out and get on with stuff. I am just thankfull that downstairs really does only need a quick wipe over next week so should be able to breeze through the downstairs lists at least again :D

    I am working my way through the kitchen so Im in too.. babys washing on the line.. most of the staining appears to have come out of everything.. except the bibs... good job I bought 10 new ones :D Blankets and cardies on the line.. and the muslins.

    Appliances and worksurfaces are first on my hit list.. the MW was vile and is now all twinkly.

    My fridge freezer is really manky.. so as well as an 11kg washing machine (which I AM having!!) I am eyeing up new fridge freezers.. extremely excessive of me I know!

    3 windowsills, 1 worktop & 2 cupboards decluttered in the utility room. I'm on a roll now. :D

    Well KH has signed himself out of hospital and is in some druggie den somewhere. I swear i didn't think he could break my heart any more but he has. He's parents offered him a bed at there's (which was really hard for them) and he said it wasn't the right time. So he gone for good. We all think we'll get a phone call in a few days to say he's dead. He brother is ready for coming down and knocking him out. I'm just completely gutted, i thought he might put some effort in. :(:(:(:(

    So i've hade a few drinks and a long soak in the bath. My plan is to not answer any phone call or messages from now on. Oh boy if i had more drink, i wish i had flipping more drink..

    So sad for you reading this Vanilla and I agree with Valli you have made the right decision, his time is not now. Sending strength and love to you and the children.

    Back from FiL. I am so not cut out for visiting relatives, it is awful I know but for me the most boring thing ever.

    Lacking energy now after sitting in the car/house for hours and hours. Going to have a cuppa and then do HH in the garden dead heading for some fresh air.

    JoJo fab news on your win.

    Toots you are very quiet, hope you are ok

  • have cheated a bit on my bedroom list, instead of sorting through all the bags of stuff ive just chucked em in the spare room to sort through at my leisure. It means that instead of having a half done bedroom i now have a fully done bedroom :rotfl:but 7 more bags/boxes of stuff added to the spare room to be sorted out. to be fair, some of the bags/boxes only have a couple of bits in them so its not *that* many really.

    have also deleted Friday list from my master list as the babys room and spare room are not getting properly gutted till all the carp is stored and sorted and some of that wont be done till the loft hatch and ladders are done.
