    I haven't posted here for ages.I'm getting loads done,little by little.I just haven't had the time to post.
    I'll try and do better.
    I need to try and concentrate on one area at a time.There's so much to be done that I get distracted,start something and don't finish it before moving onto something else. :o

    That could have been posted by me :rotfl:

    Doing bits and pieces but somehow more and more stuff still comes in - usually in the form of boxes for cat food, milk etc. Each week I have at least 1 large bag of recycling and I don't buy much pre-packaged stuff. I sear it multiplies in the recycling box :D

    Cleared out my DS room today and managed to clear a huge combination of outgrown clothes, unwanted toys and general bits and pieces. It feels good to have a room ticked off my list :D
