Well have had a fairly productive day today, finished cleaning dining room floor and half hour later dd2 got playdough all over it!:rolleyes: Have managed to do a bit of sorting in my bedroom too and have got another box full to list on ebay. Filled a couple of binbags and have been to the tip to get rid of them plus about 4 boxes and all my recycling. Am about to package up my ebay sales from the weekend and that's me done i think. Feel like I'm getting a bloomin cold now!:cool: I am determined the house Is going to be clutter free for christmas!DFW no.630!

Hi everyone
quick post - been at work all day and came home and very little done here so refused to get kids any tea. DS managed to make himself a pasta salad and DD made herself a fruit salad, hows that for kids own choices! Me I had a bowl of frosties :eek: . Managed to turf DD off computer so I could have a quick catch up and now off to start todays list. Going to set myself an hour and see how much I can do
