I'm in Sexymouse.

Mudbath

Bebee - hope you're feeling better soon.
Lil_me - brilliant news about the extended award. Like you say, that'll save you the trouble of renewing it for a while.
Pink fairy - thanks for reassuring me that lots of DDs are little ****. I'm lucky with mine normally so it really hits me when she's a nightmare.
Pigpen - I don't think you needed to post a close up of that lush box did you. Now I am very jealous! Lol. I bet your house smells lovely.
Gunsandroses- hope your DD is home soon.

Hugs to everyone else.

I'm going to buck the trend and say I love doing my bedroom. It's my sanctuary and nothing is allowed in there that isn't supposed to be in there. Now when I go to bed tonight it will smell clean as well as look it.

I've got four for tea tonight so need to decide what to make for that. One of them is miss fussy and i'm tempted to just give her what the others eat and if she does't she goes hungry. Won't make me popular with her mum but such is life.

Right, going to have an early lunch.

Have a good day.

Helloooooo

Im back and finally into the swing of things. Denmark was lovely. Thanks for all the kind wishes. Had a lovely time with my BF, how sad was it that on Sunday we went to a museum - Danish National Armoury and spent 4hrs there, had to be thrown out as it was closing and we were so engrossed and hadn't seen everything

lil-me thanks for the list again. going to have to play catch up as my place is a mess since i got back and its bugging me
lilo a&w mum huge hugs
newbies hellooo
maralum jilld jjef and lil_me hope you get some rest from bad nights
hugs to all those with lo problems
Rach - hope your all calm and looking forward to the big day.
ashbart - Posted these some time ago about clutter clearing from a Feng Shui expert. Found they were very useful when doing my own house. Paperwork wise. I have been told to keep 5 years pay statements, every p60, p45 etc, 3 years bank cc statements. Mobile bills only 6 months. Household bills i only keep a years worth. If you havent time to shred as you do it all in one big go, burn it outside its soooo satisfying.

Tips for Clutter Clearing - courtesy of Felicity Warren
- Work on one aspect at a time - ie a drawer, cupboard etc
- Give it a good spring clean as you go
- If something broken either fix it or bin it
- Be ruthless - if you havent used or worn an item within the last 12 months then pass it on to someone who will enjoy or appreciate it
- Keep the best and bin the rest
- Ask yourself if something evokes negative memories or feelings - if so pass it on
- Dont feel obliged to accept or keep a gift - appreciate the intention and pass it on
- Try selling items in a car boot sale or on ebay to raise money towards something you really do want as an incentive (or Charity Shop or Freecycle)
- Always think before you buy - do you really need this or will it have become clutter in 12 months time
- Get an independent opinion from a 3rd party if your struggling
- Always ask permission before binning someone else's belongings


Right not going to post a list as it will be too long. Needless to say its everything on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. :rolleyes:

Hugs to everyone out there. But can you please stop posting so much, it took me ages to catch up :rolleyes: . Stop being so gobby and go do those master bedrooms.:D

Phoned Tiscali and canceled, had the misfortune of speaking to the same 'self-pleasurer' as yesterday. Ordered myself 3 books from amazon. I would go to the library, but I read in the bath and usually drop books and the library charges.

I'm up for a HHC right now, then got to take DS2 to nursery at 12.15.

Dustykitten

Right all my dalies done. Just making a cuppa and finding yesterdays list so I can make a start

Mudbath my bedroom is exactly the same nothing is allowed in there that does not belong and never any hotspots - ok was going to make another comment then but it is a bit early in the day for smuttiness.
