    hi, been mia for a while
    the good news is OH is moving in at the end of the month, the bad news is i now have one month to declutter the entire place so he has somewhere to move into.
    Heavens where do i start? we've got loads sorted for a car boot, but won't do that until after he's moved as i'm too chicken to go on my own.
    Guess i need to get a wriggle on, stop procastinating and get more ideas and inspiration from you all
