Made a start on sorting the clothes out.


I have started to sort all the clothes out, have moved all the clothes out of the kitchen & folded them, plus some others. Won't do before & after pics until kitchen is tidy, but have also made a start on the kitchen.
Here are some of the clothes ( I did do more, but that was the 1st & largest lot before we took them upstairs ).

Today This is our top Landing :)




I have done this over 2 afternoons. I bit at a time, then a break, so much nicer & safer to. OK I know the carpet needs cleaning, its been hoovered, Also lifter some as bits had got underneath. It also it needs redecorating, but its much better than it was. I have cleaned the window sill & the top part ( all the top of the stair bit, just not the bit along the steps of the stairs )of the banisters.

Yesterday this was our Top landing!!







I know its a total tip, can't believe I am putting these pics on, but no point showing the after without the before. Had let stuff slip agin last week ( although this has been bad for a lot longer), so yesterday mid day I made a start.

Yet anther post today.



I crashed out on the sofa, Had tea, then later had another rest before deciding to clear the area on the floor that was infront of the chair I had cleared earlier. So another area clear :). I think I will sleep well tonight.

Cleared the chair.



Yes 2 posts in one day :lol:
We have a big chair as you come into the front room, unfortunately it had been a bit of a dumping area. So its now cleared, & have wiped it all down with leather clean & feed stuff. The marks on the back are just as the cleaning stuff wasn't 100% dry when I took the pic. I do still need to do the floor area by the chair & move the surround speaker to behind the litle storage cube \& lamp, but that is another job area. 1 step at a time & I will get there.

Mantle piece & fire.



So far i have put a wash on, I am trying a eco washing powder. Put the breadmaker on. I decided todays job would be to tidy & clear the mantle piece. I have cleaned the fre & polished it all up. I hope to do another Job later as well. As usual here are the before & after pics.

4th march. Tv Corner



Today i spent most of the time over at my parents, went to look at a Mod for the car, hopefully should be ready in about a week. I decided when I got in this evening it was time to tackle the TV corner. Did some before tea,( Cooked Lasagna that made with Mince & jars of sauce, so not a pre-packed one), the have finished it this evening. It I pick a small area & get it sorted it makes me feel so much better. The thing in bits on the before pic is my son's x-box360. It wasn't reading disks properly so we had opened it up yesterday to try something ( sadly that didn't work, but at least we had tried). The after pic isn't great due to lack of natural light, so will try & take a better pic tomorrow. The Tv really attracts static dust, so used a anti static spray. BTW for scale its not a small Tv, its 50"

Its early Morning.

Well its after 1am. I did set the timer ysterday & managed a bit more. Emptied the DW, loaded the DW, put it on after tea & got the other load of washing dry as well as puttig all the recycling out. Cooked a nice tea sweet & sour chicken ( cooked chicken & used a jar of low fat sauce) , noodles & stir fry veg. Put the Dw on after tea. Had a row with DS2, he had dumped tings on the table ( Yes the one i had cleared last week), It really got to me. Its clear again now. Sad we had to row about it to get him to move the stuff ( & i had to ring his dad). Ended up watching a film late. Feeling pretty down again, I am going to keep trying with the house, I have to sort it, yet feel bit of a failure.
Today is Ds2's Birthday He is 16.

Sat was my Eldest's 18th birthday, so we went out buying new clothes for his do, also bought more on Sat. Friday we did a big shop. AS we were out for Ste's do it was very late home on sat ( sun morning). Sunday was a pretty lazy day, Ste was round. me & Dan went out to take photo's of the car in nice places. Hw has been pretty bare minimum, but determined to get back into it today.
