    Not been here for a fair few months but need to try and structure my day a bit. I left my job on 31st dec and really need to be doing something or I will go insane!!! I decided to declutter the house and garage and sell off some unwanted carp.

    ETA Kazmeister IIRC your under the stairs cupboard is a wine cellar, in which case I will happily join you.
    You are more than welcome to join me, we may have to drink something to make room tho.

    just to add..I love my under stairs cupboard too...its DD2s bedroom and always the tidiest room in the house x
    Is her name Harry :)

    Ok back to the exciting stuff now - sorting underwear. Oh and DH just said how come MSE ended up with all you mad women on there :rotfl:

    The understairs cupboard was only convverted just before christmas so still particularly proud of it, so much so that I tidied it up only yesterday
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    Yikes - that's a killer list Dusty :eek:! But thanks (I think...):D
    I'm in for this week but with DD back at pre-school 3 mornings a week, the gym is calling so will only have an hour on those days before I have to leave to go and get her again so maybe level one and some 2s tomorrow. Will see.

    Off to do sarnies for my DH and DS now for tomorrow.

    Happy flying all!

    P.S. Kazmeister. Can I move in with you? There's just space for a small camp bed in that understairs [STRIKE]drinks store[/STRIKE] cupboard! ;)

    Please could I have your recipe? :D

    Tomorrow's list looks quite doable . . . hopefully, as I have a full day - going to my friends in the morning for form filling help, got stuff to drop at the CS, going to make DD2's dad a birthday cake (birthday tomorrow) and I'm hoping to get HHE in.
    I have started a list of aims for the year they included -

    Try to do work out dvd every day
    Meal plan every week
    Read more
    Try to save to clear debts off quicker
    Try not to think about the (ex)boyfriendish :(
    Get the house decorated
    Get the garden sorted

    HHI - Haha mine is up to date!!
    Sort the bathroom cabinet - today is a special day so use some of your 'special' creams, lipsticks, bubble bath etc Dont have one

    My ironing's done too :p Why do you think it's on there;)

    Ok clever clogs do you keep such things in another place? A drawer, toiletries bag etc? If so you can sort that (and yes I have my strick face on).

    Our bathroom cupboard is off the wall still from the painting, and obviously empty so I'll sort the stuff as it goes back.

    Please do not all attempt all of the list. It was just to give those who are really on top of things something to get their teeth into. The chances of it all being done in Queen Victoria's palace are very slim.
