    Back to tidying this mess again! Looked lovely last weekend but life seems to have a habit of getting in the way and it's a hovel again.

    Busy weekend planned and I seem to have spent a bit too much on the shopping so hopefully the ebay money will cover that... Looking forward to pay day coming at the end of the month so I can get myself back into the six thousands...

    OK, short list this weekend as I'm not getting much time to myself...

    1. Balance finances.
    2. Make packed lunches and take boys out for cheap adventure.
    3. Check ebay stuff later and send invoices.
    4. Do not kill kids.

    I am a saint - all kids completely unharmed although I did try to encourage eating of strange foods (veg) I think they are relatively unscathed!

    Beanie, I know what you mean, this place is really quiet when DS isn't here. Sometimes good - I'm ok with weekends - but not for too long.

    as if! They are older and louder than DS so they would either overpower me or tell on me. Actually they are lovely and it's been quite good fun if a little LOUD!:D :D

    Ebay finished around the £30 mark although I don't seem to have sold any of the stuff that's taking up lots of space - boo!:D

    OK, short list this weekend as I'm not getting much time to myself...

    1. [STRIKE]Balance finances.[/STRIKE]Done and there's a bit extra due to EON mix up so going to pay it off card for now.
    2. [STRIKE]Make packed lunches and take boys out for cheap adventure. [/STRIKE] Was cheap day out although there was extra load in the machine due to muddy kids!
    3. [STRIKE]Check ebay stuff later and send invoices.[/STRIKE]Done and two out of three have paid so far, hoping number three pays up today so I only have to go to PO once.
    4. [STRIKE]Do not kill kids.[/STRIKE]Yep, all still alive and kicking!

    Aims for the rest of the week are...

    1. Eat less junk and do more exercise. Just moving about a bit more and walking lots at the minute and hoping to get back to the gym by next weekend as having been getting over cold for weeks now.
    2. Sort through [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] craft cupboard and get five more things on ebay as it all seems to be breeding!
    3. Stay positive and focused! Most important one of all. Had a look at finances again and if I sold up (assuming it sold and not getting anymore than I paid 5 years ago) and rented for a year I'd have a fair bit saved at the end of the year...Won't be doing this until after xmas though so plenty of time to declutter.
    4. Stolen shamelessly from Mudbath - declutter 10 things a day.
