I’ve been missing in action this week! After a lovely busy Easter weekend I woke at 5am Tuesday feeling distinctly unwell. I will spare you the details 😳 I spent the whole day in bed either shivering, sleeping or running a temperature. I even had a dramatic fainting episode when I tried to get out of bed to quickly! Happily it seemed to be a 48 hour thing and as the week progressed I gradually got better and needless to say, everyone kept their distance from me. Luckily the weather has had some lovely spells of dry warm weather and it’s been lovely to wander around noticing everything waking up from the winter.
I am definitely hoping it is well and truly out of my system and luckily I am back to eating again as I am meeting a friend for coffee this morning. You know you are feeling better when the words ‘almond croissant’ don’t have you heading to the bathroom!
We are playing catch up with childcare this week as we couldn’t help last week and at the end of the week we have Daisy coming to stay while her family jet off to Dubai. Don’t tell Coco.
I didn't waste my time last week though, I am on a decluttering challenge! I follow Dilly from Sort Your Life Out on Instagram (search for declutterdollies), and she is doing a 30 day April challenge over there. You have one particular area of your house to tackle every day plus I am also throwing away an increasing number of things every day. One on the 1st, 2 on the 2nd etc. So by the end of the month I will have got rid of over 465 things! They don't have to be big things, but every one thing helps. I think by the end of it I may be resorting to very small items! So far I have a very tidy cutlery drawer, my baking tins are neat and tidy, my saucepans stacked neatly, appliances all clean and working, Tupperware boxes all have lids that fit, glasses shelf looking very tidy, and my baking ingredients all stored together in a neat and tidy manner! I've been like a woman on a mission - do you ever feel like that? Do you do a spring clean? Please tell me I'm not the only person whose home has certain areas that accumulate clutter!

So glad to read that you are better after your 48 hour nasty bug. I think April - springtime - is a very universal month that inspires decluttering & spring cleaning. My theme for April's Wisdom is that very topic. Hope you enjoy your almond croissant :)
Glad to hear that you're feeling better (and I'm sorry you were poorly in the first place).
Spring decluttering has begun here - I'm tackling all those boxes in the cupboard under the stairs and so far, I have five bags of shredding! Kitchen cupboards are next, which is obviously a much bigger job but shouldn't involve shredding! :)
