Hi everyone,
Not posted all weekend, must have been busy, it all seems a blur anyway. Got a few more bits done from the list, and have been doing a bit more Kondoing. I like it! Ours and children underwear drawers, pj drawers all done, and loads of space in them now, even though I didn't get rid of much. Amazing. Tea towely type drawer done in kitchen. Now fits in aprons, tin foil, cling film and bin bags as well! And I have just tipped out everything from bedding box on to floor and am going to do that. There seems to be a lot of people on de cluttering missions. Spring in the air.
This evening our boiler has finally given up the fight. It has been on its last legs for a while, but as we are renovating (five years and counting:() we were trying to keep it going until we were at the right point in the project to get a new one. So it's washing in the sink for a few days and an unexpected forking out of cash we haven't really got. Anyway, at least my sock drawer is tidy!
