Haven't managed to get the dry clothes folded or put away but i did get sidetracked in the bedroom and completely cleared out my wardrobe. Loads of stuff to go and now i can actually see what i have. Plus more washing done and the fire lit.
HTT been out and hopefully OH will be discharged today. He also got offered a job this morning, it's only for a few days a week so will suit him loads better than full time plus it's only a mile up the road so in good weather he can walk home.We'll just have to see if it works out.
Right i better get dressed for the doctors and DS1 in, he still has a blocked ear.
Helensdatter believe me my messy, cluttered house needs it.:rotfl:Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
Sneaking back in quietly - Afternoon everyone
I'm doing okay but I now need to get the house back into some reasonable shape again. I was doing so well but lost motivation yet AGAIN..lol A lot of it is really superficial so it won't be too bad thankfully.
Hope everyone has been well, belated birthday wishes to those I have missed.. Hugs and love to everyone else xxxx

Evening all.
Am rather excited as the mortgage interview went really well this morning and I can afford to go for the type of house I'd really like :j It's also really given me a kick to get this place sorted so I can sell it and move!!
Seriously thinking about getting a skip to help with the decluttering!!!
Stuff in the car ready to drop at the charity shop on the way to the station tomorrow.
Also decluttered 3 hours at the cinema watching The Hunger Games!
Going to sort more papers and junk now whilst watching Grimm.
Love and hugs to all especially Toots, L-L and LW xxx"There's only one way of life and that's your own" - Levellers

Oh dear after a good start with last week's lists the school holidays have dealt my good intentions a body blow. If that makes sense.
I managed to give the boys a short list each, they emptied their bedroom bins, and that was about it.Motto for 2013: GET MORE DONE! AGAIN
Do an hour a day on my BOOK! Also, lose weight. And be nicer0 -
Hi ladies, could I join you please? I did attempt to join in a while ago but fitting it in around my work and having to be quiet when DH was in bed (he works shifts) was too difficult and I ended up doing everything at the weekend anyway! ANy how, I've just left work and I have a baby due in less than 4 weeks so I'd like to get into a better routine of doing a bit each day. On the surface the house doesn't look bad but I don't tend to do much in the way of deep cleaning so hopefully the lists will help me with that!
I haven't made a start on today's list as I've been out all day so i'll try and catch up tomorrow.0
