    Sightscreens have been delivered. DD1 back from town. She thinks she is getting this bug too. OH is off to his works meal - he feels less than well.

    DD2 has her second stinking cold in a fortnight - somewhere we reckon she had a half hour with no symptoms between the colds....

    Might as well stick a sign on the door saying 'unclean'......

    And I've decided not to go on the works Christmas do on friday - even if I'm back to work I won't be in the mood for it...

    On a positive note my Amazon order contained a present to myself - an Andy Williams CD of Christmas songs- and I have managed to put it on my ipod without any help! Only taken 9 months to master it!

  • Right about to de-clutter offspring and myself to the Dentist - will lurk cuppa and update list on my return :D
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    So the plan is to put on more layers, have a tea, set a timer to do 15 minutes floordrobe from yesterday and the lounge/hall floor/ stairs for 15 mins. My stairs are already cluttering again. Some of which are xmas presents so need to write cards and get rid ASAP.
    Stairs decluttered. As they were done thoroughly last week they didn't take too long. Most of it was xmas presents. So to avoid a reappearance on the stairs most of them have been sorted with hubby's help. But the lounge is currently the departure lounge. Will get him on the case now
    :j
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

    Less things. Less stuff. More life.

    Level 1 and 2 of bedroom done plus dailies.

    Tonight I will get some more cards and wrapping done. Wish it was finished. Living room will get done tomorrow as I've got friends coming round tomorrow night.

    My boss has asked me if I will take on another vol job for a short while. It's making up the comfort boxes for palliative care. The lady who usually does it broke her arm. Have said yes as I know how much they are appreciated and needed.

    Will have a quick HHC before I have tea.

    Boddy That's a really nice thing to do.

    Well done for mastering the iPod CY. Since our computer was restored I'm scared to sync my phone in case everything is wiped.

    I've sorted various piles of clothes and put away what I can. The ironing has grown to an uncomfortable height so I will definately attempt at least half of it tonight.

    Dinner is served and the re cleaning of the kitchen is about to commence.
