I just can't get myself to make the start.

That was a good hour spent on the phone, multitasking.

We have two small garden sheds (well, not all that small really, maybe three by two point five metres each?), plus an outdoor loo (which I have stacked a lot of our camping stuff in, but have run out of room!), that just seem to be full of cr*p. Boxes and boxes of books, toys, christmas tree, halloween stuff... SO MUCH STUFF!!!! If I want to go in there and try and find something, I start at one side of the doorway, sort through boxes, and restack them once I've been through them, if I can get to them without another torrent of boxes falling on me. Hmm, storage tubs would be a much better idea. What size ones do you find the best? And probably wouldn't hurt to get rid of some junk here either!

I am jealous of your grown up area . We do have a LOT of undercover area, and whenever it gets cleared and tidied, some other amount of cr*p accumulates there, and once again, it is unusable. I have a garden bench outside my front door (but all this area is behind a big gate and fence, back from the street), which I can't even sit on, because it is covered in motorbike gear (which I am going to put in to the wardrobe in the garage) and other tools, and just stuff that doesn't have a home or people (usually the Man) is too lazy to put away. He never puts his tools away (and by golly, he has a LOT of tools), and he tells me that I can't put my few garden tools in the little front shed (which is perfect for gardening stuff), as he has his tools and car stereo and whatever else in there. All up, we have the front little shed (the old people used to make beer in there!), a huge double garage with workshop area and storage area out the back (read: spider breeding ground), the two garden sheds, and outdoor loo. I got the garden sheds, which I can't move in, because crap keeps getting piled up in there. No, hang on, all the sheds and garage is like that. Doesn't matter. Sorry, I was having a bit of a vent too. And the other thing is I can't get to the garden sheds if Steph is awake, as they are in the dogs' part of the yard, and she would probably hurt herself in there anyway. Sorry again.

All I have done today is get up (haven't even made the bed! Will do that now), washed my face, done my makeup, cleaned the basin, got dressed, had breky, and had lunch.
