Evening everyone, hope all are well or getting better

Had a successful day today, thoroughly sorted out last two cupboards in kitchen, so apart from two draws, my kitchen is totally decluttered.

Even managed put some stuff away for DD, has as soon as conversion is ready, her and her bf and bump are moving out into it. Luckily still on farm so not too far away. As DS1 says, house will be so much cleaner when she moves out. She's always been the messy one of the 3.

Cleaned bathroom, but yet to sort out in there, I'm slowly decluttering one room at a time, will do drawers in a bit, while dishwasher goes through cycle, then will start on utility room next.

Then our room,


Office is like a bomb, but it has all DD's stuff in there ready for her move, so that will be

Evening all. I crashed and burnt this afternoon - was exhausted, not sure why. Have managed to do daily bits, Hoovered around and tidy after children went home, made twinks hobnobs for packed lunches, made dinner and cleared up after. Now crashed on sofa watching tv so no extra flying for me.

Have read most of posts and wishing you all well!

and (thanks cowboymum)
15 minute challenge
If you are fed up of clutter then it needs a home. Spend 15 minutes removing everything you don't want in a room from that room. Now that the room looks better be critical about what you have taken out. If you need it find it a forever home, if you don't fling it. If you haven't space for a forever home for it then something else has gotta go to make room. Houses don't have elastic walls and hoarders we are not!


I'm afraid I have done very little today............started a 2 day a week course and so I'm out earlier and back later than normal, so it's thrown me a bit!!!!
On the course again tomorrow but will hopefully get more done.......then back to normal on Thursday.........(unti lnext week!!!!)

Hope all are well..........sorry haven't kept up with th thread.........hugs to all in need xx

Evening all,

Snuggled up in bed with the iPad listening to the wind howl. My eyes are streaming and my nose is raw, I've covered my face in 8 hour cream to soothe it!

Day at home tomorrow to crack on with paid stuff interspersed with lots of tea and toast - feed the cold as they say!

See you all in the morning x

Night ATB, hope you feel better tomorrow x

Seems like a fair few are struggling to fly today. I've actually not been too bad but when I do slip off the wagon, however long it lasts, I think anything is an improvement on how it was - baby steps are needed and you can't always put housework first. Sometimes just life gets in the way or illness or needing to work .... whatever it may be. I don't know if any of you do it but I put myself under pressure, or rather I did until I realised what I was doing and then put a stop to it. We're doing OK!

Enough rambling. I know what I'm trying to say but finding it hard to get it out!!

Done paid stuff this evening - second job for new client and I think I was a bit faster than yesterday but his work is very different to anything I've done before so steep learning curve. Got next lot of washing ready for tomorrow. Also got another job in to get done first thing.

Worried about Z - she's got a bit of this lurgy, school are pushing her like they do with Y9s grrrr, she's tired and has something on every evening this week. Doing all I can to look after her but I hate that at 14 she's feeling so worn out and stressed. Makes me mad. Rant over.

Mumof2 I let DS1 have a day at home after he finished his mock GCSEs, he wasnt ill, just shattered. He slept all day. I wouldnt normally do this but I just felt that he wasnt going to achieve anything anyway.

I am feeling loads better, back on the echinacea which I swear by. Hope atb and others get better soon.

Full day of paid stuff followed by my gym class so not much flying but I have sorted some washing and done the basics at least.

Going to be a long week I think! Ready for bed.

Door handles, light switches, kettle and anywhere else I can think of all anti-bacteria cleaned. Dancedad has a sick bug.
