5 Weeks To Go!!!!

Can you believe that????

I’m starting to think I’m going to have to modify my dreams to have a perfect house before we leave!

I am so glad I made a plan.  It’s really helping me not to freak out.

While the house may not end up being “picture perfect” before we go, I KNOW that we have a lot less clutter than we had before.

At least 2 garbage bags (or equivalent) have been leaving this house every week to either the dump or the charity bin (or friends/family).

It HAS to be having an effect.

LAST WEEK

The focus was bedrooms.  I sorted out one of the shelves in our wardrobe.  Didn’t get as far as I would have liked to in our room but it’ll be okay.

Also did some decluttering in the boys room.  Lleyton has a LOT of stuff that hasn’t been touched in years so at some point I’d like to go through his drawers and get rid of some stuff (he doesn’t cope well with letting go but he won’t notice if I go through things - unlikely to even remember what he had).  If it doesn’t happen before we go though, it’s not a huge issue.

I did get rid of a few of Trailer Boys “baby” toys and things not really played with.  And we’ve bought an under the bed container for the growing collection of lego.

THIS WEEK

Focus areas are the kitchen and living areas.

My main priority will be to sort and declutter the kids books and toys which live in a built in cupboard in the dining/family room.

If I get time, I’ll start working on the pantry, including making a list of anything that needs to be used up before we go (mainly baking supplies).

5 Weeks to Go?

Sheesh!!!

It’s getting close, isn’t it?  :)

Excuse me while I go jump on the bed in excitement.  LOL.

    Hi Jodi,

    Congratulations on the progress you’ve made, and on being able to appreciate the progress you’ve made!

    I wanted to let you know I got my parcel from Ezibuy today!! I ended up getting a green hand towel, a coffee plunger, a travel chess game, two packs of silicon cupcake moulds and four white napkins. :) Very exciting!

    Emma.
