Hi Louise - great to have you back and thanks for the post about the weekend - it has spurred me on to think about what I want to do. As someone new to the world of decluttering I have to admit to getting a little disheartened at times when I read every ones 'to do' lists as they seem to have far more than I could ever achieve. The baby steps essay helped and I guess I just have to go at my own pace and celebrate anything that gets achieved.

So for this weekend I want to take down the Christmas decorations, give the house a general clean and then produce a list of dailies, weeklies etc. that I can work through. I still feel a bit daunted by this and if anyone has any tips on how to stick to the lists and make them reasonable I'd love to hear them.

Right I'm off to watch the start of the new series of Fraiser that is just being run here but I'll check back in on Sunday to let you all know producing the lists has gone.

Happy New Year from a cold but not yet snowy High Wycombe (UK)

Hello all

Well I have lots of things that I would like to do this weekend, I realise I
probably won't get them all done but even some of these would be real nice.

The first thing I must do is start planning my vegetable garden for the
coming spring, order my seeds/starter plants and plan where everything is
going to go. I must admit I get real lost in the catalogues, pouring over
all the stuff and dreaming and time just flies by LOL.

I also have an apple tree to prune, apparently its getting in DHs way! Is
been an ongoing discussion in this house all summer, quite honestly the tree
was there first LOL but I have agreed to cut it back ... if I let DH do it
there will be very little left of it.

Its 12th night soon so Christmas must be packed away and returned to the
attic. Then the stuff we packed away to make room for Christmas can be put
back.

I would also like to spring clean our bedroom and go through my things again
and have a bit of a change round, declutter and rehash. I am bound to find
Monday morning that the room looks a lot worse than when I started but I
have a couple of spare hours on Monday afternoon to finish up.

I realise its a little early for spring cleaning, especially as we are
nearer the beginning of winter than the end and spring is a long way off,
but who said spring cleaning had to be done in the spring!

DH will be cutting wood this weekend to replenish the cut stuff we have
already burned. I have  the grass cuttings all ready to add to the sawdust
and an empty compost heap to mix it in. Last years batch of this mixture was
an experiment that turned out rather well so I am going to repeat the
process.

I also have a large collection of recipes from magazines and friends to sort
and enter into my recipe program. I don't intend to complete this task from
start to finish, but it I can sort them and then enter five a day I should
be to the end of the pile in a couple of weeks.

Well break over, back to it

Talk to you later

Louise
