Hi
Am happily shreading at work, another 2 filing cabinet drawers in process of being sorted. Feeling lighter already.

Hello all, for some reason I hadn't actually bookmarked the thread
!
DH got the decorations down on Tuesday whilst I caught up on sleep. He kept me awake all night long on Mondayand I was wiped after my 4 nights!
Everyone is back at work/school now so I need to crack on.
By the list you can see that I have done naff all all week. And now the dog has just done something to the laptop which means that when you go back to edit, it types over what is already there. I don't want that!

Hugs to Mrs M-P and to Ionafan
Pigpen - hope AF turns up ASAP
I wasn't aware of the declutter one thing a day challenge, what a great idea! I will join in too as I want to put the house on the market at the end of the month (if I can get someone in beforehand to wallpaper the kitchen). This will help tremendously.
My 15 mins a day on my wee fiiit is helping. I seem to have lost 4 lbs already. I know I've not lost this amount as I was wearing heavier clothing when I initially weighted myself. But still, it's a step in the right direction.
DW emptied this morning
Dailies done yesterday.
I must iron - I have an ironing mountain, that's only going to get worse if I leave it any longer.
Have a great day all

It's 11 o'clock and I've done n@ff all.
DD1 is on an early so was dropped off, DD2 went back to bed, she's not well and is losing her voice. She'll be back to school tomorrow as she has an exam.
I got my car back yesterday :j it had some coil thingy :huh: and spark plugs replaced. It cost less than they quoted :money: but I have been told next is the mot and timing belt _pale_ before the service.
I need to go over and feed DD2's dad's fish but as he lives around the corner from the reptile shop where I need to go and get DD1's locusts (DD2 couldn't get any from p@h yesterday) I want to do it at the same time but they don't get the fresh delivery til about 2 and my food deliveries (cheaper to split between @sda and tesc0) are coming between 12 and 4 but DD1 needs to be picked up at 5 and she works in completely the opposite directionAny ideas? :think: I'm thinking the chameleon (she has worms to eat) and fish may have to wait til tomorrow, after I've taken my parents shopping :undecided
I'm going to wake DD2 up or she won't want to sleep tonight and get her to do my shredding while I do some other jobs
