    Happy Weekend everyone! I don't like the look of my list for this weekend. It's 27 things long...and most of them are big things :/ So today I'm going to try and do some of the fairly straight forward ones:

    1) Tidy my room (this will involve doing some of the other steps too!) turning into a bigger job!
    2) Sort my DVDs done :)
    3) Sort my bookcase (and retrieve books from my mum) done :)though mum is keeping the ones she has for now as I don't have room on my bookcase!
    4) Buy sawdust done :)
    5) Clean out the rabbit done :)
    6) Change my bedding half done
    7) Finish my book roll over to tomorrow
    8) Find safeguarding certificates (so I don't have to do child protection training at work) found 1 2 more to go!
    9) Find coffee jar done :)
    10) Sort out my card making stuff rollover
    11) Sort out clothes (I've got loads I NEVER wear!, and not much space in my drawers!) rollover
    12) Have a bath rollover
    13) Make a rough plan for Cub Pack Holiday not essential yet!
    14) Download and fill in Nights Away form waiting until later in the week
    15) Find a folder to put recipes in. done :)

    Think that will probably do for today! Especially since I woke up at 6.44 and thought I was late for work and dozed off several times since!

    Hope you all have a steppy day!

    my list isn't going down very well so far but I am making progress in the BIG Spring Clean! I was only intending to tidy up but have had a clear out of all my hair and makeup stuff and filled a big bag with stuff I never use and removed jewellery I never wear from my jewellery box. I need to finish tidying the drawers and desk and then sort out my clothes. I had intended doing some school work today, but that's fallen by the wayside for now!

    Still to do:
    1) Tidy drawers done :)
    2) Clear desk done :)
    3) Sort card stuff
    4) Put jigsaws into top cupboard
    5) Sort out clothes half done I filled 2 black bags for the charity shop and still have my wardrobe to sort
    6) Finish my book done I'd like to pretend it didn't make me cry!
    7) Have a bath done :)
    8) Search ideas for hospital role play area done
    9) Find other Safeguarding certificates done :)
    10) Go to youth fellowship done :)
    11) Create numbers 1-10 for classroom
    12) Look out ideas for book and ICT corners

    Looks like a lot but shouldn't actually take too long to do any of them (except maybe sorting out my desk!)

    Hi guys,
    Giggles Happy to hear you are doing well with your spring clean :j
    I haven't had much time to be on the forums but still keeping on top of everything, me and the OH are looking to move and quickly so decluttering is the top priority. The neighbours are stomping about upstairs as I type lol :rotfl:
    Its 4 years of it now (contant stomping, you can hear coversations and everything) and with lots of other niggly problems that are not getting fixed we have had enough and just want to go ASAP.
    I have a big long to do list and I will post when I lose motivation but for now just cracking on with things:

    I put 14 things on ebay
    sorted out two boxes of paperwork
    hoovered the house
    did the washing
    put some bits on freecycle
    viewed lots of houses in the week and arranged more viewings for this week
    arranged to see a possible wedding venue
    sent all the emails I was supposed to send
    started sorting receipts ready to do tax return
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D
    *NSD Challenge Nov 0/10* *£10 a day challenge Nov £0/£300*
    No buying unnecessary toiletries challenge-in it for the long haul
    :D
