Time for a clear out...

18 months ago I called for a "Big de-clutter week" and lots of friends, both flesh and blood and those who live only in my computer, joined me and we spent 7 days banishing cobwebs, mess and the accumulated "stuff" that was threatening to suffocate us.
And I think it's time we did it again.
My house is a pit so I'll start on the basics this week, but more than that I want it decluttered and organised for the summer and the new term. I'd like to come back from holiday to a fresh start where we can lay down new "rules" for the children with the framework already in place - "shoes in x basket as soon as you are through the door", kind of thing- I also need to go through all their clothes and work out what we need for Autumn/ Winter as we'll be buying over the summer an I don't want to get stuff we don't need or miss stuff we do, tbh, I could do with doing this for J and I too.
And that's just the start of it. I need to reclaim the kitchen from the creeping clutter and make the understairs cupboard a useful space.

So, are you in? We've got 3 weeks to the end of term? Make plans and prepare this week? (For me this will include the regular/ irregular in this house  getting on top of housework.
Clear the clutter next week?
Set up the new regime in week 3?

Are you with me? Are you with me? (aye aye Birdsnest!  )


My garden may need some tidying too, I can see my neighbour weeding hers and every now and then she lobs one over the wall....
