  • Not done much for a couple of days.... haven't really been into it and have just been 'chilling'. (For 'chilling' read 'lazy'). Life has been so hectic recently it's nice to just not do anything much. House is reasonably tidy due to all the decluttering and our new habit of putting things away when we've finished with them. My clothes are all still stuffed into a great big bag but the bag is zipped up so they're not untidy! I will be going through them soon, just can't bring myself to do it quite yet!

    Nothing significant has gone out for a couple of days, we're going to stay at my sister's tomorrow night and Saturday, so it will be Sunday before I can tackle any more.

    Everyone is doing so well..... Keep Calm and Carry On Decluttering!

  • Evening. I spent 90 mins at my mums nattering this evening so didnt get anything done. BUT the house is definitely looking tidier. Unfortunately not a lot will get done tomorrow, we have toddler group in the morning and the afternoon will be spent decluttering the car so i suppose its still progress. Then the entire weekend im on a Hen do so not sure what kind of state the house will be in upon my return Sunday night after the husband and the kids have had the weekend by themselves :o

    Anyway, off to bed now, shattered.
