    Pleased to see youre all still at it..............especially pig-pen -when will you have actually finished ????

    Not de-cluttering at the minute........'stuff' to do, important stuff like painting my dads tray................lol Also doing a lot of 'thinking' about what needs doing when the buildert actually finishes (was going to be today but her had weekend off and is back tomorrow to create havoc restoring my 'indoor shed' where the plaster fell off to what might just pass as a 'room leading off the kitchen'..................lol
    So, seems little point in doing much till he's finished in there, though there is stuff I need to shift before he comes in the morning............move from one place to another

    Then I'll behaving major panic as son, partner and baby grandson are coming 9th June for his first birthday...............!!!!Must have major sort out for sleeping arrangement etc.

    So keepup the good work...........be joining you once the builders gone and OH just might clear his part of the bedroom plus c**p in the back garden

    Hi everyone,

    I have put it elsewhere on mse but realise many of you won't have seen it. My dh has been diagnosed with cancer. We are waiting for him to have his MRI before we know what treatment we are looking at (either surgery or radiotherapy).

    The de-cluttering has become urgent to get sorted before we start the rounds of hospital appointments, but has been combined with my 'really not in the mood'.

    My MIL did come last week to help us sort out:A and I've been buying a few bits to help us become more sorted. I got an umbrella stand from TK Maxx as I had nowhere to keep them, and a lot smarter filing tray as iI really NEED to get to the end of the paperwork.

    Spendless, I am sorry to hear your news.

    I wouldn't worry too much about the clutter, you have more important things to think about. Hope things get better for you soon x
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D
