Hi all Found you all yesterday and thought I'd say hello. Been trying to get on top of my clutter for years and it's still not happening. If people come around I can get it looking half decent but I would like it to be tidy so that people could just pop in and have somewhere to sit! Also I'm fed up of not being able to do my jewellery making etc as I can't actually get to my workbench which was only built a few months ago! I live with my hubby, 3 children (9, 6 and 20 months), dog, cat, hamster, fish and stick insects. I'm sure they make more of a mess than me   Anyway that's me basically. Trying to keep things tidy, not managing and I'm sure my piles of stuff multiply when I'm not looking! Gryfon xx |

Welcome, Gryfon! I have the same problem with my scrapbooking area and a huge problem with multiplication. With the support of all the wonderful people here, I'm sure we can get rid of our stacks.

Welcome, Gryfon  !
It was great meeting you in chat the other day.
I think I once read in a Don Aslett book that he believes 90% of the housework is caused by husbands and kids (I would add and pets), but 90% of the work is done by the wife/mom. So you are probably right that they make more of a mess than you!
I'm glad you are here.

Welcome, Gryfon. Nice to meet you in chat today. I'm glad that you found us. This forum and the one before it made all the difference for me and my family. I'm sure you will find help, too!

Thanks all  Stick insects are insects that look like sticks  Very easy to look after but don't do much apart from look stick like. Just trying to work out where to start now! |

Hehe - the stick insects cracked me up! I thought I had kept all kinds of pets throughout my life, but I can say I never kept a stick insect!
Welcome Gryfon!

Welcome, Gryfon! Those stick insects are really big & strong, aren't they? I've never had them as pets but when we were living in the country they would come up on the porch sometimes. Of course, I would have to pick them up and those guys could just about wrestle me to the ground. I developed a healthier respect for insects after meeting these guys.
