Welcome to the *Tip*......

The photo above & below is what happens when the Summer holidays are just way tooooo long! This room (which became known as the *tip*) belongs to my 7 year son Dylan & he manged to make this mess in about 15 minutes flat while looking for ONE of his toys!

It took me a week to clean up, I now have three rubbish bags full to the brim ready to go to the Op shop & one rubbish bag in the bin! Decided to give his room a thorough clean, wash down walls, sort out outgrown clothes etc.

So this is the little *Darlin's* room now, back to normal & a lot cleaner & tidier than it was before.

Have told him if he EVER gets it into that state again I will, well I think you can imagine what I said! Sorry about the blurry photos but was in a hurry when I took these, not to mention very hot & bothered. I realised while I *lived* in this room during the major clean up that he is in the *pink* room, this was originally Taska's room but after my Sweet polished the floors in Dylan's old room we moved Taska in there as it is bigger. He has never said anything about having a *pink* room -so far.

THIS is the little *Darlin* who managed to turn his bedroom into a *tip* taken his first day back to school, going into the big part this year, Year 3.

Now I am like a Sargent Major every evening before he goes to bed, doing the rounds in his bedroom looking for anything out of place or not put away.

You know I kinda like school terms at least my house stays tidy. Until the weekend......
