Serena you posted some rather splendid guidelines to cluttering some years ago! They stuck with me .
Continued decluttering today, at the worst before better stage. OH filled some holes in the study plaster and fitted a new toilet seat. It's teal coloured and rather pretty - all of £12 in Wilkos.
I found lots of next size up boy pjs and unopened curtains today. Result or shameful that I forgot?'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Hex2 - I'd call that a result! I found a new pair of cords bought for Dh years ago that might now fit if turned up - I am also calling that a result! - the fact that he has lost enough weight and it'll save buying another pair!!!
Came back from Museum ready to write two scary stories for the Halloween party next week. If I can find out how I'll get DH to take a picture of me and upload it!!! Shame I can't do audio as I'm practising my cackling!!!!
Will catch up tomorrow afternoon xJuly 16 £95/£200
Nov 16 £0/£200

Catch up with some mendingThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Hex I think I remember that. Along the lines of three bags, keep, charity shop, throw away? Empty everything from room, has to go in one of three bags.
I also really rate ValliDon't put it down, put it away and AnW's mum Dot to dot - clear a small area. Them clear one next to it, so it joins up.

I can't believe the amount of bleach they get through! :eek: One big bottle a day, or even more. Using that amount of bleach everywhere is not good for the environment nor for the house, I don't think.
Today I didn't get as much done, but I'm determined to do at least the 15 minute tasks so I can make a bit of a dent in the housework that I've got so behind with.
Cleaned the loo, inside and out. Vacced through the main traffic areas in the flat. Cleaned the bathroom sink.
Mid week me time - not to be skipped by anybody! I don't care what you do, do nothing if you like but take some me time you deserve it.
I'm not sure if I deserve it but I'd like to sit down and read a book this evening. I'm taping the Grayson Perry documentary on Ch4 tonight, looks like it might be interestingleft the forum due to trolling/other nonsense
