I’ve now got a whole shelf that is empty, at least for now. I’ll add reorganizing the kitchen cupboards to my to-do list smile

Yes, I do have a bookshelf project. Main problem is that H still hasn’t picked up the rest of his stuff – which means that one of my bookshelves is completely full with his books. I would box them myself but why should I do the work? Saying that though, I'll give him another week or two (he's on late shift this week so it isn't gong to happen this week) and then I'll just do it myself. I have a box of ornaments sitting in the basement that was never unpacked when we moved into my dad’s place. I’m going to go through it and find a few to put out in some of the empty spaces. The upstairs bookshelf will be partly donated to my son so his overflowing bookshelf can be reorganized, but again H's sbooks are still there at the mo.

It's all going to be sorted for disposal, recycling, donation, burning. wink What's left is going to be put back in as organized a fashion as I can manage.
I'm getting started on this project right away... Well, maybe after work. Er... after I'm done watching TV. Or tomorrow. Or next weekend. Or as soon as I schedule some vacation time... smirk

I know that feeling. My to-do list is growing frown but I keep finding other things that need to be done before I can even think about decluttering or reorganizing. And on top of that S13 keeps making plans for the weekends so that we don’t spend the day just sitting indoors. He does get bored so easily so I don’t really mind if he plans something to do and lately he’s been finding free stuff so that’s an added bonus smile. And while my teeenage son still wants to spend time with his mum I'm going to make the most of it wink - it won't last long.
