I'm back!! Gosh, that was :eek: I was there two hours!! I don't think it's likely that I'll be offered the job, to be honest, but thank goodness I have 'decluttered' the interview :rotfl:

sorry DolallyDilly I forgot to wish you good luck - would you take the job if you were offered it?

Chuffed with myself as I didn't think I would manage any tidying up during the week but I was looking for a document so it kind of forced the issue tonight! Gone through a massive crate of junk/paperwork on my dining table and have a huge bag sorted ready to shred, some of it from 1999!

So will shred all that tomorrow when I get in from work as its way too late to be doing it now.

Umpteen Metro newspapers and work mags dumped on my table over the past few weeks gone to recycling bin plus all the paper/cardboard junk from my bedroom I came across yesterday is now also in the recycling. Timed it well, bin day tomorrow!

Found a huge pile of shoes to sort through, looks like a couple of pairs will be thrown as too small for kids now but I found my snow boots!!! I've been wearing my wellies but they just aren't as cosy for keeping my toes warm. Yay...bring on the snow! We had some this morning but its melted already.

Don't know why I'm posting at this time, as I'm absolutely shattered.

I've been pleased with progress today even though little lady was off school again. I haven't chucked out as much as I wanted, but I've had a good clean

27. lollipop sticks & assorted rubbish on the hall floor :mad: - bin
28. empty bottles & box. Recycling.
29. OH birthday cards - recycling
30. Christmas cards - recycling

Had a good vacuum through the stairs landing & hall, and even moved the bathroom cabinet to clean behind and underneath. Its been a while & I'm ashamed of the amount of dust, but it looks lovely now I'm hoping it'll be easier to keep on top of now.

Donna I don't think I would take it, but I also think they won't offer it to me!

Well done - the important thing is you went and went through the process - the next interview, hopefully for a job you really want, won't seem so daunting. (ps - I work in HR and I am dreadful at interviews!)

Hi flyingmamma - I remember those not being able to sleep nights only too well, yes my son is called Noah he will be 4 in August, our family are predominantly boys so we had absolutely no names for a boy but loads for a girl (there are only 2 girls) about two weeks before he was born we were at the farm and a little boy ran past myself his mum shouted out "noah" and my Mum said oh that's a lovely name - forgot all about it and when my little soldier was born I said to Paul what about Noah and that was that.

don't worry about the birth it will be over and forgotten about once that little bundle is in your arms xxx any signs of action on that front yet?

I've been helping my mum declutter her house as she's moving soon, and has 15 year's, 5 children, her mum, and 2 partner's worth of stuff there! Lol. Yesterday I went through my remaining things there and sorted for CS, bin or keep when me and OH drive there to collect. Went through the airing cupboard with mum and managed to find a pile to sell and found 10 bags to give to CS. However, the airing cupboard remains half full! mum gave me a cooking apron so now I don't need to buy one
The CS (where mum volunteers) is going to be thrilled with all the stuff they'll accumulate. It'll be a small rooms worth!
Can't wait to help her declutter more an Ive advised her to use a cash 4 clothes company to get rid as she has soooo many clothes from my nanny& herself she'll get at least £30 I think!
And I managed to sell my little brothers broken bike on eBay too

i know easier to say than do in current climate, but the interview is a two way process where you are as much thinking is this the job for me as they are. All the very best with the job search.

I need to declutter parts of my job so i can focus on the important bits. My decluttered office (all done this year thanks to this thread) still needs the to file pile filing in my newly decluttered filing cabinet. I'm finding it's giving me more energy at work.
