    Thanks for threads.
    My main room tomorrow will be the study as I want to clear up the mayhem and start decluttering. I lost count of the target last year of decluttering at least 1 item each day, but I think I made it. Would be too ambitious to match the 'saving plan' i.e. throw away 1 item on day 1; 2 on day 2. Now there is a challenge!

    Have a look at the 2016 KonMari thread - there's a link somewhere on there to the Mins Game, which is exactly that... although only for a month. Examples on the 2015 thread of attempts at it came up with some very entertaining results :cool:

    I'm hoping to be in... but work may have other ideas.

    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining area[/I]
    Level One...
    Sweep and mop the floors
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe the worksurfaces[/STRIKE]
    Level Two...
    Wash the units and appliances.
    Give the pan cupboard a good scrub out.. Don't have any cupboards :D
    [STRIKE]fling the plastic tubs with no lids/botttoms/broken[/STRIKE]
    Wipe over window sills and shine the taps
    Level Three...
    [STRIKE]Sort paperwork, warranties, insurance docs, phone contracts etc into a file so they are easily accessible and make notes of when things need renewing![/STRIKE]
    Clean table and add a clean cloth if needed Christmas table cloth is in the machine right now... painting table cloth needs removing and replacing with the everyday one
    Dust and deweb

    Extras
    Binbag dance
    [STRIKE]HHI[/STRIKE] No chance... but I will call my ironing lady and drop off a vast amount of stuff for her

    I'm in too please :) Thanks for the lists Natty and Bossy x

    As always, I'll be fluttering fairly ineffectively, but I will try...

    Got to take DH to the hospital tomorrow for a colonoscopy, which he is dreading. He has ulcerative colitis and has to have this procedure fairly regularly, as sufferers are at higher risk of colon cancer. My grandad died of that, so I always make him see the consultant when the appointments come through. Sorry, TMI I know...

    Got to collect dog biscuits, chicken corn and oyster shell at the farm shop tomorrow at some point, so ignoring the flood alert we received this evening :eek: should be well under critical level on the river, but if not... well there's nothing we can do about it, so why worry!?!

    Sending coping vibes for tomorrow LW x

    I'm in this week. I'll post a list in the morning when I've written it! I have paid stuff, a trip to Mr A for coffee (I'm almost out :eek:) and more milk, and I need to get back into a routine especially of walking the dog at least once a day. Its so much easier when its lighter nights and mornings There's so much more I need to get back into the habit of I'm going to make myself some check lists tomorrow! :o

    :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.

    Well I'm sure nobody else is mad enough to be awake, but I had to post that I have just emailed off the last reports so I am up to date!! Maybe I can actually find some time for flying properly now.
