mmmmmmm was going to put the [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] treasures that need rehoming in the loft but no room :rolleyes: need to have a rearrange up there :eek: There have been two huge boxes of treasure cluttering A's room and it needs to go somewhere else. The garage is full EVERYWHERE is full.

I have a bag full of hand knits that Nannies made for A & W when they were smaller. As a rough size guide I would say 18 months to about 3 years old, there are more girl colours/styles, 11 in total. If any one wants them then PM you address and I'll get them in the post to you.

Did not feel like doing the bathroom so have started on the family room/my office instead. I should be able to get it done by 1 o'clock when I need to go to school - promised to help escort Yr1 to the church. Don't want to but DS3 is so looking forward to it.

To Do

Collect Child Benefit from Post Office
Buy new multi journey bus ticket from PO for DH
Buy a wooden coat hanger from the charity shop so I can make a new peg bag from an old pillowcase.
Buy a couple more cereal bowls from Wilkinsons
Put away clean clothes from yesterday's wash. Sorted and on my bed atm but needs distributing.
List all food in freezer and cupboards
Try and do a meal plan from lists.
Sew in name label in DD1's new school trousers.
Sew on badges on DS's cubs uniform - he was enrolled the week before half term and needs it done before tomorrow!

Flylady isn't as daunting as I thought it would be. Yesterday I really felt as if I had achieved something, and I feel the same today. I'm weaning myself off my anti-depressants. I started off by having alternate days free of them and today I'm only having half a dose and doing that on alternate days. Hope to be free of them in a couple of weeks. Having accidentally run out a couple of months ago I know how it feels to go "cold turkey" on them - not nice at all! The "foggy" feeling in my head is lifting now I'm coming off them.
