• Give everyone at home a bag to collect the things which belong to them that are not where they should be, give them 15 minutes to find them all and put them away You could threaten to bin whatever is left if they don't seeing as everyones being quite ruthless this week

Sometime last year I read somewhere, a way to sort out, unused clothes. Take everything out and put back so the hanger is the opposite around that you normally use............... When you wear something, you put it back after washing, the right way around.. If, after a few months, there are still clothes on hangers the wrong way round, then they aren't being worn.
I took out all the trousers that were still the wrong way round and listed them on aacebook selling page today

I'm happy with that...............If they do not sell, they will go in the next charity bag that comes through the door.

It's also bath and nitty night :eek: not seen any crawlers but I'm still checking haha.

I imagine it's best to be proactive with that - catch 'em early, and all that.
I always do at least a cursory check for fleas when I groom my guests. Not found any in the six years I've been doing this, but I do know one little chap had an infestation a while back (luckily sorted before he visited me) so it's as well to be vigilant. They only have to socialise with another dog with "passengers" and you have a problem.:cool:

Books are prepared, dog played with a lot as he wouldn't leave me alone again (I'm guessing its missing DD with her being back at school and he should settle down by the end of the week), dishes washed, washing juggled lots, DD has vacuumed through downstairs again and now its tea time. Hopefully tomorrow will be a much more productive day as I don't seem to be getting anywhere very fast at all. Can I blame first-week-of-term-itis aka can't-get-out-of-lazy-holiday-mode? :o

Another one running to catch up ... had to take DS2 for an "interview" for a part time cafe job - he was successful and just needs to do OK with a trial next week. So pleased with him, it will do him so much good and get him off the darned Playstation a bit.

Been to vets about doggies claws which was really helpful. Just need to sort the time off work as they want to knock him out and do it first thing one morning.

Off to finish our bedroom, have had to hand wash DSs sweaty PE top, forgot to put it in the machine. Oh and kitchen somehow looks very messy - how did that happen?

Passengers
None here :T


Kidlings away to bed, DW sounds like it's singing and I'm just having a brew...

Paid stuff finished for the week - that went quick! And no news yet oh dear I'm not very patient...

Tonight I'm going to tidy the LR as its a bit of a dumping ground. Oh and turn off the xmas lights outside and I'll get them down and away tomorrow aft if it's dry. Morning I have a MrA visit then the dentist yuck. Not getting much from MrA as I'm trying to cut down (supposed to be going out on Saturday and I feel yuck in everything) but will do a bigger shop to come Sunday I think - with stuff for pack ups.

Also need to have a think about DS birthday. It's on a Wednesday and do we invite friends for tea that day, or the weekend following? Not sure. Or do I take them out? Probably not as I have DD as well so not much car-space. And do I let DD bring a friend to hide in her room with? Yes, I might do that... He can have 2-3 friends and she can bring one and I'll do them a picnic tea in the conservatory.

Right. Cuppa slurped, anyone with me for a 15min tidy time?
