    Yep I go a little OCD.. only after a while I calm down, but then kinda like you I look around and I have done a great job of "sortong"... just not putting everything away lol

    But its funny, on your list, in the last week I have done the kids rooms the spare room and the linen closet!!! I also did the kids toy room xmas eve night, but you wouldnt know it now!!! My next project is the "crap cuboard" in the kitchen.. we went from having a crap drawer... ya know the one where random crap accumulates.. well now we have a whole cuboard and it really needs de-crap-ifying!!!!!!!

    Yes! Post Christmas OCD is happening here. I have currently putting kids clothes in space bags to put into the shed (because their cupboards were crammed). I drove past our local charity shop yesterday and they have stopped taking donations because of all the post Christmas clear outs...so we're not alone.

    What do you do with old linen? I have new towels, so I'm wondering what to do with the older sets (which are faded and starting to fray...they're Sheridan so not cheap when new).

    Older towels - Cut them up to be used as handtowels in the kitchen, or for emergencies in the car (a plastic lidded box in the boot is a great emergency kit with a change of knickers for all, toilet paper, deodorant, sun screen etc). Or those with little ones, an extra layer of protection in the cot?

    Arcadia - I know our local animal hospital and the animal shelter accept used linen, maybe you've got something similar near you?

    OK today's list is doing the computer table/Uni cupboard... I also want to get in and do my three ordament (sp?) cupboards as well so I can move everything around. I'm thinking I might like to move the dining table closer and the computer table into the other room... Of course you girls have no idea what I mean... But I'm thinking if I move it all around I might give a better vibe off "shrugs" I know something needs to change....

    But it's sooo hot today, I'm going to have to do it imbetween jumping in the pool!!!

    CM that's a good idea for the linen - I have a pile of it here too I should see if the animal shelter would like it.
    Starbright - good minds think a like :P
    Sopdet - have fun today ;-D

    Thanks for replying everyone knowing i'm not alone in the OCD cleaning spree - isn't it meant to be done in spring :P

    I've removed the shoes from the shoe shelves, put the couch on its side so I can move furniture around. I'm trying to work out the best spot for the couch (which folds down into a bed - almost futon like but not a futon), so that the computer screen can still be seen. I have to organise my uni bookcase, which is going to be painful, because I need to remove all the books before I can move it and it is chockers. But right now I need some food!

    I need to do the same thing with the UNI bookcase... I hope if fits where I want everything moved too...

    I'm eating too. Feeling a little lazy because I haven't done anything yet except the stuff left over from yesterday... Also need to replace all my seat covers back onto the car and set up the back seats (with the girls back seat organisers and DVD players etc)
