    Lots to do today-cleaning, tidying, sorting and decluttering are the orders of the day.

    Well, it's been a very busy week and still lots to do.
    It's also been a very expensive week-necessary expense. So back to trying to make as much and save as much money as I can now.
    Busy day tomorrow again

    No spend day today and I even managed to make some money-I've updated signature. :)
    Busy day today.
    House is upside down at the moment whilst we have some essential maintenance done. :(

    The messy house and maintenance is getting on my nerves today. I don't feel well at all, which isn't helping. :(
    As soon as I feel well enough ( and haven't got tradesmen in) I've decided I need to tackle the house room by room and have a total declutter.... Should I start at the top and work my way down...I think that's the best option....or maybe I should follow kon Marie and do it collection by collection, all clothes first etc etc.
    Right, need my bed.

    Ok, so I'm feeling better-and a good job too as weekend has been mad and stressful so far.
    Events of this weekend have only served to make me more determined to get my house in order-ASAP.

    Hi Tattycath :). Well done on just keeping going and carrying on your excellent work :T.

    You seem to have reached a similar conclusion to me - that decluttering and tidying up the house is a first priority. I am also not sure whether to do room-by-room or a Kon Marie. I am favouring room-by-room right now, starting with the garage. When that is cleared it can be a temporary storage room for other stuff.

    Good luck whatever you decide :).

    Hi P&F. Thank you. :)
    I've decided to do a room by room attack first. Even though I started like a headless chicken and took 2 loads of stuff from all over the place to the tip.
    We've got a couple of car loads to go to charity. Concentrating on lounge and kitchen now. :)
