    Oh crikey, sounds like lots of medical good karma needed! Hope everything works out for the best x


    I've done the garage counter, although I won't count as finished until the chazza stuff has exited the building. I might also have some stuff to Freegle too :T

    On looking, the top shelf is fine, just loo rolls, spare bits for the vertical blinds, some camping gear and the hat/mitt box. But the bottom shelf is tat toys and other gibble that can be sorted. Ooh I've missed decluttering. Do they still do the 100 a month challenge on the hoarding thread? <going to have a peek>

    Only one load of washing left to do. WM on now, TD on again.
    Dancemum, hope your DF's op goes ok.
    Mrs MP, hope everything goes ok next week.
    We managed to get all the beds made before we went into town for the carnival. We walked all the way from our house (go us!) and it was a brilliant show. We didn't stay until the end as we couldn't get seated in the pub for tea so left at 9 when the rain started and got Chinese for tea.
    Am now pleasantly stuffed and ready to nod off!

    Posting at the beginning of next week will be sporadic. I am on 5 nights starting tomorrow so will probably blitz the house again on Friday. I will read during my breaks though.
