Good to "see" you , Bama! I find posting those monthly to dogs really helps, I'm seeing improvement, even if I dont finish my list every month.

FFB,I'm sorry about the problem with your leave, easier as you raised the issue on February - that sounds really unfair.

Lots of cool smileys on your list, French, I’m sorry about the problem you’re having at work getting time off, hope it gets resolved and you enjoy the time with family.

This week flew by! I hope to make more things a habit so I can check them off next week. Dd#2 will be home for a week at the beginning of June so maybe I’ll set that as a goal to get some of these rooms finished decluttering.
