    Level one, clear floors... Is this where I admit that in parts of my house the clutter is 4 feet deep? I am trying flylady as a way to help with depression, maybe if I see one clear bit of floor I will cheer up =)

    Hi Adela -I know where you are coming from and I would advise tackling one area first and trying to ignore the rest,sort the stuff into piles -a keep pile and a give away pile either to charity,friends or freecycle. It is an amazingly cathartic experience when you start to see clear areas in the house as it also starts clearing out your mind ,giving you space to think and be! I feel the clutter is like a constant buzzing in my head! Am off now to have a tidy up and get sorted! Good luck :)

  • Morning!

    Have 55 mins whilst DS has his lesson - so an almost 2 x HHC here...

    Its a lovely day so laundry first, then sorting a space for my approved foods goodies...

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Happy Birthday for yesterday Greenbee x

    Need to get the WM on the go and the TD, unload the DW and quick wipe of the kitchen. Moving stuff round to OH's later and I'm going to work for 2 hrs other than that there's no firm plan. Can't pack anything else now until tomorrow cos we're still using it, think OH might be doing the wall today but might be tomorrow.

    Bargains at Clintons yesterday 75% off :j got a pack of Christmas Cards for 83p :money: I was over the moon but littley started yawning after I continued to harp on about it for the next half hour :D

    Yesterday was hard at work and I'm paying for it today, feel like I've gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson so I'm not raring to go....

    In my HHC I scrubbed the kitchen, emptied bins, put remainder of Christmas sweeties etc in with ordinary stuff.... I always buy far too much!

    Gonna have a sit down and a drink and then go in for another one at 10am if any one wants to join in

    I've edited the above list so as not to end up with loads of redone lists
