Not sure how to mark my items Done so will just post here that I have done 3 of the 5, only things left to do from list is to check ebay sales (not eniding til 9pm) and play games with my boys for an hour - my eldest wants to get Mousetrap out so may well change my mind once we start buliding that...I never had it as a child as my mum said it had 'too many bits' so will have to see how we get on. Am pleased with getting the other jobs done, have even ironed clothes for the morning which is unheard of usually, almost always end up ironing in morning and rushing to get kids to school. So tasks for tomorrow..... 1) go to Art class (putting this on as a task as not managed to get there last 2 lessons so probably behind by now which means more motivation needed) 2) check dates for direct debits, standing orders on bank accounts, see if we can move some so that they go out just after payday - may make budgeting easier? 3) package up all ebay items 4) clear everything off the breakfast bar and find other homes for everything (selling it on ebay so would like to see it clear of clutter for at least 2 days before it leaves the building!) 5) change sheets/duvet on main bed - one of those jobs that gets put off longer than I would like. Don't suppose any of these are that difficult but I have made so much progress with the general declutter this weekend that I think I need to recharge batteries - clearing the clutter is so therapeutic though, hard work but in long run so much better than staring at all the stuff and feeling stressed!

My 10 to aim for today are -

• walk the doggy - only managed 1 today
• table sale and spend nothing there - no spend!
• use up stuff from freezer for tea - Sausages, bread rolls, veg and cheesey mash
• have a bath using xmas smellies - hot water is on
• have an early night
• spend some time with younger sons, a cinema afternoon - yes, had a lovely afternoon
• Put washing out to dry - next on my list
• put anythin I make at the table sale into sealed jar for holiday - made £90
• tidy kitchen - maybe tomorrow!
• read a couple of chapters of call the midwife - in bed later

Lovely to see some new faces joining this thread, I'll try to do 10 a day, will be small things tomorrow as I'm not feeling great at the moment and it's a work day:o

It's not the norm, let me tell you V, but whilst I am in this frame of mind thought had better get as much done as I can coz I doubt it will last long :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
