You know what it's like - you work full time, leaving the house early in the morning and returning well after 6pm (just in time to start cooking dinner). You're tired all the time, and the mess starts to build up. Every weekend is spent cleaning and tidying - with so much effort going into stemming the tide of filth, you just don't have time for anything else.

And - 8 weeks later - I still haven't sorted out the stuff from the wedding. My tolerant parents are still housing our wedding gifts in their dining room, my mum had my wedding dress cleaned and it is still hanging on the wardrobe in my old bedroom. I still have a bag of souvenirs from the honeymoon that I haven't sorted out.

And, I still have 200 clean and pressed white dining chair covers in bags in the kitchen. I've been trying to sell them, but nobody's interested.

Let me know if you want them!
