My 52 Weeks Organising Challenge

As mentioned in my New Year's Resolutions I want to get the house organised. As much as I would like to do it all in one go, with work, the W.I and family I know that isn't going to happen. I have decided to do the organising over the whole year and organise an area at a time.
