monumental clean up

it's already monday night - where has the time flown?!?!?!
we've been cleaning up like never before in house-o-nefotlak - all spurred on by the upcoming visits planned by many over the next few weeks - always a good time to crack the whip and get things done!!!

all 4 bedrooms got a major doing over.
furniture was moved around and bags upon bags upon bags of rubbish, recycling and good-will were removed from this house.
and wow it feels so so so good.
i am so proud of my family for really looking hard at what needed to go and what needed to stay - most especially hard for miss 8 (triple j) - who sometimes wants to keep everything in sight - and who had to stay away from her older sisters whilst they cleaned for fear of her grabbing everything for her own to keep!!!
it's not all done - but it was the bestest job ever to date!!

goob is now feeling a lot lot better (after our wee hospital visit on friday evening posted about here) - pain is still there but not nearly as strong and she went to school today.
now eky has fallen ill with the lurgy and was home today - poor thing.  
triple j was home on school hols and her and eky lay around in pj's all day watching the box!!! the weather was freezing and windy down here - and as they both cleaned and uncluttered so well on the weekend - i was really happy to just let them go.
chill out days on the lounge are good sometimes!!

me - i did have a big sleep in (no drop-offs to school) - but then did some more decluttering and rearranging this afternoon and evening as well.
i am on a roll!!!
plans are in motion for painting of the girls rooms (they all have new furniture that we purchased or repurposed over the last 18months - and all that now remains are painting and decorations - and hopefully one day new carpet. (they also have my favourite - not - blue carpet in their rooms!!)

i do have this one and only photo to share.
my lovely and ever patient mr w. rarely throws out anything - and lately i've been grateful for this as i've been coming up with all sorts of arty ideas for his kept bits and pieces - but - we (us girls) were shocked to find his stash of our old mobile phones on the weekend (and this photo is not all of them!!!) ...........


what do you think?? - a mobile of mobiles in my birch trees?!?!?!?!
oh dear!!!!!

i hope you all had a great weekend.

  1. It's nice to hear you got lots of sleep. That's something many people do not get enough off. Even if you sleep in that's still better then a couple hours of sleep. It most be challenging handling goob and all the other kids. Making sure they have lunch and are ready for school.

  7. Het is goed om verschillende spraakprofielen te vermelden als je meerdere personen in je huishouden hebt die Alexa voor muziek of apparaten kunnen gebruiken. De tegenstem daarentegen moet om te beginnen een eigen Amazon-profiel hebben.
