So DD3 is having a party on Friday! I need to have at least the downstairs tidy. My utility room and downstairs loo have to be decluttered.

To Do
Washing
Move Christmas Decs out of downstairs shower
Dishes
DH's Dinner

That will do for starters

Thanks Squirrel, thought I was talking to myself. Love looking at other threads on this but often feel like I am intruding

Tomorrow I want to sort my Hotpress (airing cupboard). Can't find anything in it or put anything into. It needs a major cull. Posting for accountability!

I love accountability threads :) how’s the hot press looking @cikecaka ?
I am using my sleeping baby for not getting going on the huge pile of Stuff that needs decluttering. Am going to photo before and after Ufyh style.

Can I join you? I find it really hard sticking to chores so I've made a rota. I'd like to have some accountability to ensure I stick to it!

I have sorted through two carrier bags, which as made nary a dent in the Pile, but must be some sort of progress. Might do another one before I try to get little Miss Sleep-is-for-the-weak to have a nap.

Am going to further attack the Pile this morning after I have made a lasagne for tea. Unless we just have bog. Hm. Might be better -fewer pans.
I have noticed that Dh has not mentioned his newly tidied drawers.
I will wait and see if he deserves rage later.

Okay, well so far that has only consisted of phoning the charity shop to see if they can take empty cd cases. But there’s at least three bags of them, so not bad.
