  • Now I've gotta:

    Clean LR table
    Clear carp from DR/LR
    S&S BR
    Vacuum the stairs. They're covered in bl**dy cat hair!

    Anyone up for another HHC 11.30-12.00?

    Well done you, that's exactly the point, you got stuff done you wouldn't have usually got finished!

    My house was buried under a pile of dirt and carp. Two weeks of Flying, and it's in pretty good shape. And even times like today, when my house is mucky, it doesn't take much to get back on track.

    So, off I go, back to do another HHC.....

    Been to the doctors - he's said it a virus, nothing I can do about it except take antihistamine tablets and put some antihistamine cream on the itches :rolleyes: Thank goodness I don't pay for prescriptions!!! :eek: I can go back to "work" tomorrow, won't go today as I'm too itchy and tired.

    So, with my unexpected day off work I'm going to get some ebaying done. I've got items finishing this week anyway so I might as well make the most of it! Lots of books to sell, which I'll start off at 50p and the exact postage (plus 10p packaging) ;) I weigh all my items and state the weight in the listing so people can judge whether they're willing to pay that or not - plus if they want to check the postal charge they can. ;)

    Right, off to get a warm drink, lunch and take some tablets. Then I'll get on with some ebaying. :wave:
