    So proud of myself !!!

    The amount of stuff that has left my house either via bin men, recycling men, freebayers, scapman, the kitchen is spotless and although its winter and there isn't much sunlight around the room is light and airy so good for me as I suffer with S.A.D. feel so much more positive so de-frogging is really improving my depression too !

    Dining room is next on my hitlist - already halfway there are this room is where i started originally

    I have rewarded myself for my hardwork, I have ordered one of this vinyl decals to stick on my stainless steel splashback, only cost £17 and is the finishing touch to my gorgeous de-frogged kitchen

    Drain water butt
    Send form back to church
    Keep a list of emergency phone numbers

    Book for agm (done! hurrah!)
    Froglets:
    Finish pre-winter tidy of garden will need more sweeping when trees are finished shedding...
    Tidy the tool cabinet
    Genetically modified Frog Monsters:
    Mus!c Magp!e - will take an age, iPad app doesn't scan

    Morning everyone

    Another frog done, the table is clear. That's two frogs done:j. I hope this challenge becomes addictive because I have so many things do do and clear out. My frog this time is to start decluttering and cleaning my bedroom. It's a bit crowded with the cot at the moment so there isn't much room to move. I want to get this done by the time I go back to work on Tuesday.

    Also a big frog broke down into froglets. I have masses and mountains of paperwork so I'm going to challenge myself to deal with 5 pieces a day. I may have to invest in another shredder though as mine has conked out.

    Off to get started.:eek:
    1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

    I really need to get a move on if I'm going to get my winter prep list down to 8 things (currently 17) this week. There's quite a few things I need help with or only OH can do. Must ask for his help :o

    Frustrating isn't it donnajt. Have you got a friendly neighbour who could help? Or when the scrapman comes ringing ask him? It grinds away though doesn't it? :o

    Just sort of done half of one of the winter list items. Checked pet med supplies. My dog needs worming tablets and there's none left. Ordering online would be cheaper but he needs those meds inside him asap as he likes to eat sorts of things!

    Not on my list, but I have a table at an nct sale tomorrow so I have collected up all the stuff I want rid of, ironed any clothes, boxed them up and got my labels and float ready!

    Hope lots sells, really don't want to bring a load back...
