    Car boot sale done. We did manage to shift some stuff :T

    Half contemplating doing another one tomorrow. Then we could send a load more to charity.

    I've done all the upstairs windows. It's very clear that replacing windows is an urgent house job that needs doing. I will have to discuss with DH. The frames are all rotten, bits are perishing and there is no sealant between some of the windows and the walls so damp is getting in.

    I haven't achieved much more. I'm currently listing away :)

    I discovered I'd accidentally deleted some items I was selling so have reinstated them. Listing some new stuff from the kids and DH.

    I managed to break little miss's bed yesterday :doh: I'm just waiting to hear about one on FB and hopefully we can get that today.

    I think decluttering something before you clean it is a great plan - always makes you more willing to get of more stuff just because you can't bring yourself to clean it and put it back and see it unused.

    Are you better doing one room at a time or one job at a time? I find I'm better doing a job. So clean all the windows upstairs, dust all of upstairs, hoover all of upstairs. Rather than do one room start to finish.

    Keep up all the amazing enthusiasm. You're doing amazingly xxx
