Morning ALL I hope this mission is the right one. Are our kitchens in such chaos we need a week of intensive decluttering?

[FunkyGlassSlipper]

Morning all.

OK, sick bug hope (fingers crossed) but off out swimming today. Will try and clear out cereal cupboard later

Have a nice day everyone!

Morning grouchy

My kitchen always needs decluttering LOL!

I'm waiting for the water to heat up so I can jump in the bath. I'm on serious decluttering this week. I'm doing the cupboard under the stairs today. I've pulled the blanket box out from our room (Huge pile of mess left behind to sort too....the basket didn't actually have blankets in...just more crap!!)and I'm putting all the shoes in it. Then I can either recycle or chuck the useless pairs.
Coats are my mission after that....

I will see how I get on, I have to go food shopping at lunch time.

Right well going to crack on before the bath is ready.

Morning all

[ludaloo]

Oh...x posts...hi FGS enjoy your swim

[shouldbe]

Morning all

Hope the bug stays away FGS, have a good swim

I need some of your decluttering spirit to rub off on me Luda I never did finish the spare room (far from it) and the utility room is still unbearable! And then there's all the other cupboards where "stuff" (ie junk) is shoved in a hurry to keep all the visable areas tidy!

I hope to tackle the kitchen cupboards a bit today. I did some a few weeks ago but there are a couple which still need attention.

Dd is off at another workshop today (last one) then we may have people to play later...I'm secretly hoping they don't call as I think we could all do with a lazy afternoon...

[EHM]

Morning Each & EveryOne of You

grouchy are you catching the strange hours to be awake bug from aufish? Thanks for the thread. Hope you get a nap later?
FGS enjoy the swim, hope the bug has gone.
ludaGood luck with the decluttering
shoulbehope you get the lazy afternoon.

I have lots to do today. My bed in stripped, washed & on the line.
Sister, Partner & their little boy arrive today until sunday. mission to clear washing basket.

Have a great day all.x

[shouldbe]

oh dear, dd has started to cry and say she doesn't want to go to the workshop today not sure if I should make her go or not really. I've paid for the ticket so will be out of pocket but it's not worth forcing her esp as she seems v tired and weepy...she may enjoy it once she's there though....

I've also just heard that I'm needed at work this afternoon so my ideas for a quiet afternoon have just gone out the window! I'll have to go with the kids in tow so that'll be fun

[grouchyoscar]

[EHM]

grouchy how odd, what on earth could the neighbour have been doing at this ungodly hour My imagination would have went into over drive. I would have convinced myself that he/she was a serial killer etc. Hope you get to the bottom of it. Maybe she was getting a head start on todays mission
Anyway have a good day. I am off to get on as Ellie is napping she just isn't right at the mo.
shouldbe hope dd is ok, pants about work this pm.

[shouldbe]

very odd grouchy... EHM work will be OK, the kids and I can go and have lunch out in a nice little cafe and garden while we're there so that'll compensate for going in at all.

We've been watching an army helicoper landing in the field opposite our house - very noisy, but fun they come along quite frequently and practise landing etc but it's usually at night. It's fun to get a chance to watch them in daylight, they came twice yesterday too.
Dd has decided she does want to go to the workshop so we're heading out in a mo.
Have got nothing done at all this morning!

[julezboo]

Sorry I am falling off the FLYwagon, and losing track of the threads atm
My kitchen always needs decluttering grouchy FGS and anyone I've missed with sick dc, I wish them well[smi;e]

I keep shoes in a huge builders bucket under the coat stand. It is one of the hotspots left to clear this week.

Sorry for all I've missed. I'm finding it hard to keep up with all three dc around, particularly as dp has been home all week too.

[tortoise]

My house is a complete tip .
I don't know where to start. As soon as one bits tidy they fill it again.

[Jas]

I've given up til they go back to school, tortoise
Just go out alot and have fun. The mess will still be there in September.
