    Nom nom! Wishing I lived next door to Mudbath -I'm sure the budgie and the puddy would be good friends :D

    I think my GUAG has joined my motivation on holiday - pms and I think I'm starting a cold...cue violins :) I've turned into bah humbug. However I have put out the rubbish and recycling, and done 2 loads in WM -now draped on airer and radiators. DS hasn't surfaced yet - I'm not going to wake him, everyone has said how tired he looks since he got home.

    I have finished emptying the first box of music books and they have all fitted into 3 magazine racks...we bought 20 plus 2 box files. I think we will have more than enough storage :D which might mean we can put our music reading books on the storage unit too :D all of this means more things decluttered from our small room :j

    Well I have finished now and just have to give it all a quick wipe & hoover to keep it tidy. Even been to the local shops for last few things and wrapped the last Xmas present. Feel really stress free now and ready for the big day, I reckon one of my NY resolutions will be to do a bit each day regardless of how I feel when I get home from work - dont know how long it will last but if I come on here the motivation will be there.

    Anyway off to do the next thing on my list thats getting ready to collect DD3 from work at 5pm, so better get going

    All the boxes of sheet music etc have now been emptied and are living in the magazine files. Still have a few free and a couple of shelves free too. There are 2 piles to be sorted in there but I might just put them in the box files for now until we get round to doing something with them. I think I will leave it there for today. Tomorrow's plan is to do the lists, get the final present and wrap it, get as food shopping as possible and then spend a HHC in the small room working out what we can store where. I had set myself the task of sorting that room out by the end of March, at this rate it will be done at the end of next week and then we will just need furniture to put things on. If I can get DH to help me while he is off then that will be brilliant :j

    Hi everyone :) I don't know if you remember me but I was around with good intentions at the beginning of the year and fell off the fly lady wagon :o I am hoping to climb back on though and have been lurking for a while :p I need to get the house sorted for xmas and it is not too bad as, like I said, I have been following via lurkdom!

    I may not post much but will be following and adding my name every week :)
