    Hiya everyone
    I'm back and raring to go. Just off to give the master bedroom a sort as things have slipped a little. I'll start properly tomorrow. Lots of changes here as we're trying to simplify everything which means major decluttering -anything to make life easier. We're just fed up of having too much 'stuff'! So, catch up soon and hugs to all.

    Hi Peeps,

    Last post of the day/evening :rotfl:

    Done everything today that I wanted and some of the list to so am well pleased. Back to work tomorrow so won't be posting till late afternoon/evening.

    Will do as much of list as poss but if it's kids rooms DS's will be ok but DD's is a nightmare and I probably won't be seen for about a week :rotfl:

    She's supposed to be keeping it tidy to earn pocket money at the weekend but I don't think she's done that for 3 weeks and boy does it show :rotfl: Normally I would complain but at the mo I can't be bothered as too busy doing up the house & garden and hoping it might teach her in the end that if she wants to buy something and hasn't the money then she should have tidied up ;) It's a vain hope but I cling to it :rotfl:

    Hello,
    Oooh, there's nothing quite like a rage to get me cleaning. I came home from work at 6 in a foul mood and with a day long headache so I cleaned as I cursed and have just stopped for tea now! I feel loads better and tired myself out enough to sleep tonight instead of dwelling on stuff. And tomorrow? I will go to work and smile.
    I keep forgetting to do the smoke alarm test when I do the hall but it's just done itself while I was making tea. Must remember to grill bacon once a week..
    Have a lovely evening, x

    Just sat down for the first time proper since getting home from work at 3.30 and caught up as much as poss on all the posts.

    Hope all poorly little ones have a restful night and are feeling better in the morning.

    Took everything out from under our bed as planned :T .
    Found a pair of boots, a jigsaw and a froggy rainmac towards the ever growing car boot pile. Threw out 3 empty shoe boxes and hoovered up a mountain of fluff!
    It's now a bit clearer under there, just need to buy 2 lidded storage boxes tomorrow or Fri to get the rest back under there in some kind of order.

    DH did clean all the windows today and they look great, no dirty rain spots to spoil the view looking out to the garden which is full of cherry blossom and clematis and looking very pretty.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.
