Been undergoing a massive decluttering and tidying up session in the house. Sorting each room, doing every drawer shelf etc. So far have done Dd1 room and the living room, hopfully the kitchen this evening. Its hard work with the little one, who falls over everything and pulls everything out as your putting it away. Hoping ill be able to keep on top of the housework when its done. All I seam to be doing is tidying, but again that's the little one for you :-D
Selling all the old toys and using that money to get them a few new ones. Also littles ones birthday coming up soon so want to make some room.##
well a quick brew and get on with it!Debt Free Since 05/09/2015Breath out the past, breath in the future Big Dreams Start Small0 -
jojo look up konmari. Honestly it changed my life! We're still untidy by nature but my house is clean and tidy everyday despite our natural inclinations! Tidying up after with a toddler now takes me minutes and housework takes very little time xDF as at 30/12/16
