And so I find myself trapped back in mumps prison. Finn’s face is fatter than ever and the chances of mixing with the rest of humanity still scarce. So what’s a good housekeeper to do?
Strip I say.
Strip away the nonsense cluttering every surface in the house. Clear out the fiddly bits drawer (I know you have got one!). Attack the bathroom cupboard with a bin
Have fun. It is Monday. We LOVE Mondays.

How funny that you should write this today as I started exactly this process over the weekend. There's still a long way to go but we've already managed to clear a lot of junk over the weekend and it feels good! I even went through all my old issues of Country Living(about 4 years worth), tore out the bits I wanted and recycled the rest and it wasn't painful at all! Hope Finn is soon feeling lots better. I remember mumps. Not nice! x

I'm taking the magazine challenge on friday. Must be 200 of them. I thought I'd look at them again. I won't. Blogs are so much better!
You have totally inspired me. This is something I HAVE to do anyway because we will be selling this house soon but I've been dragging my feet. I am going to print this off and hang it on my fridge to read whenever I get a lazy bone. Thanks Alison you are the best!!!

I am in total agreement with everything EXCEPT the parting with the magazine collection. It's Victoria magazine! Every single issue including the first one. That should just count as a family heirloom to be passed on or a piece of literary history somehow. What ever happened to that editor I wonder? Thanks so much for the other ideas!
