    Hey all!

    Have had a busy day - been to the tip, post office and charity shop so decluttered a fair bit today.

    And I even washed my car - by hand!! The inside is disgusting, but it looks good from the outside at least.

    Off to update my list..

    I've decluttered my van, sold it, so some extra cash in my pocket, DVLA form ready for posting, insurance notified and my no claims swopped over to my car. Plus I thought it was prudent to get some breakdown cover for £21.

    Off to buy some birthday cards for DD1 as she's 19 tomorrow. Also haven't really got her anything as such as she wanted to go away somewhere and I said I'd pay....'spose I'd better think of some kind of cake too.

    Thats a great present Valli! Id love if someone bought me another holiday! :)

    Have decluttered some of my baking ingredients... well flour, and made homnemade yorkies for tea. Kitchen cleaned again and started bleaching down woodwork and doors while tea was bubbling/baking away.

    Have poured a glass of wine and am off to enjoy tea and some Jack Sparrow with the sprog!

    Have missed a whole week (work first this week) and thought dh was going to be doing more in the house but he is suffering from a severe attack of CBA and oops where has the day gone-itis so house is now tippy and my olds are over tomorrow (gee thanks dh)

    So going to do a crisis clean tonight and tomorrow morning (dh is working or he would be hoovered up) and then will do some of the listy stuff on Sunday to play catch up.

    Plan of action = brew, change into comfy clothes, loud ipod on (irritates dh so very loud!) then clean, clean, clean.
