    7 parcels posted today for DH :T

    Little jwil has an inset day today so I've got the day off. Little miss is in nursery (thankfully :rotfl: she was in a foul mood this morning!) so I'm going to try and crack on with some stuff.

    I've been upstairs, sorted through all my drawers of bits and pieces. I've still kept a load of stuff I don't really know what to do with. I'll revisit them again at some point. There's stuff up there I've no idea what it is or where it's come from :eek: Got rid of a load of rubbish and sorted out the recycling.

    Thank you. Yes the sun definitely highlights everything doesn't it! I love it, hope it stays :)

    We scribble down on a piece of paper when we've got rid of something then every now and again I update it on here. It's really motivating seeing the stuff going and getting the end of year total.
