Declutter more of my clothes.

Wow! Pippi you do get so much done A real inspiration I need to do *something* - but its just soo warm - i'm pleased the heatings not on and the savings being made there of course but it is just so warm that my little energy has drained away Mind you will have to do a full house clean and tidy by the end of this week so i will feel like i've achieved something then

Hey KC - i feel your pain with clearing a room - i still have everything from the biggest room [STRIKE]dumped [/STRIKE] re-housed in all the other rooms except for the bathroom - again for some work that should have been done - i now have no idea where some essential bits and pieces are - Oops! And its also the reason i am put off cleaning and tidying as its *impossible* to get to anything - thats my excuse :whistle: Hope you had a nice time away and enjoy your next trip too

*Waves* to everyone else

OK for the bits I didn't get done yesterday I'll try harder today!

Off into town in a bit to get a few things, go to the dump/charity shop/college and then home again to get cracking.

Meeting chum for a cheerful walk so that will be nice before we get into the fray of it again.

Bed taken down last night (one) so that's progress. Lady took deposit and has cashed it so looks like everythings going to happen.

I've now sorted all the linen and now its all clean and folded need to be ruthless.

Fat chance of me being very ruthless:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I've hoarders genes.

Have a good un everyone.

Must buy strong bags from somewhere - if they're not black maybe I can write on them???? Might be a plan.

No books packed - what am I like. Must do some later.

A motivational kick up the 'harris' please. Not a jot packed today - must get to it.



OK, I'll get off the sofa..........

Hi, Pippi. Good luck with your move!

I still can't keep up with your diary - moves far too fast for a slowcoach like me. How are you getting on with you web site? (Sorry, you probably don't want to be reminded of such things when you are in the thick of packing.)

Glad the move is on eve if you haven't packed anything yet. We moved my sister two weeks ago and she asked my mum and I to go down early to help her clean. I spent the whole day packing instead as she was no where near as packed as she had implied :eek:

Moral of the story get packing!!!!!

I am currently sat on DS's bedroom floor ignoring his screaming cos he doesn't want to go to sleep in his own bed meanwhile DD has put herself to bed (bad mummy) albeit in my bed.

Hey there - hello and thanks for asking. Website is currently 'under development' all paid for and as I can (which isn't much of a priority at the moment, I'm filling in plant profiles etc and orgasnising methods for small seed selling/packaging etc. Mostly not done much due to job (which is a bit of a priority!).

Diary not moving very fast at the moment, aside the packing!

I hope you're well and lovely to see you - really appreciated your advice early in the year and have it all jotted down in a safe place (one I can find!)

Oh dear to children being naughty at bedtimes! Poor you dear its notwhat you need is it? I hope it settled down.

Well, I've done 5 boxes of books and two large hessian shopping bags (easier to carry) [probably the same amount of books to do - deep breaths]
I've done the linen
I've done half the towels
All the shoes are in the shoe trunk so as long as I'm careful - that can just be done up and moved
All the hats, gloves and scarves etc - but these are still 'handy'
I've done the bathroom 'clobber' aside half the towels and essential toiletries
One bedroom is now completely stripped, one bed collapsed and we've moved into a wee spare room with the landlords bed and furniture - so we only need to strip the bed there and go.
Christmas stuff is packed (which is a cheat as it was already packed:rotfl:)
Sleeping bags packed - all 8 of them (why do I have 8?)
One duvet it packed and I need to do a serious duvet cull when I decide what's staying/going.
All the lamps are packed and the egg cups - it amused me to put them in the same boxes.
Dining table is collapsed and on its edges waiting to be moved
Dining room is clear aside a collapsed table and sofa (and a set up drum kit, but this is not mine and I'm not stressing about it)
Large captains 7 drawer dresser is emptied and ready for shifting.
All dvds are packed two large boxes of them.
Large utility room curtains washed and dried ready to pack.

*****all phd paperwork has gone to the recycling paper bank****** after checkign I had electronic copies of it all.

All folders back to the college to recycle to new students.

That's an OK start isn't it?

Haven't tackled the other 3 bedrooms and one office.:eek:

Wow! What date are you off? Remember to breathe!
