  • Have finally listed DD's clothes on ebay:T - have some more to do, but it's kind of the wrong time to sell them (summer clothes for a 3-6 month old!) so will wait until the spring for those. I do hate ebaying though - never know whether to put a really low starting price & risk practically giving them away, or a more realistic price, and then them not selling:confused:

    Not done the oven yet and paperwork will also have to wait!:rolleyes:

    Welcome everyone and well done so far - I can feel the energy flowing around the challenge :D .

    So far, I have done 1 load of washing - probably got another 2-3 loads to do, hoovered the downstairs of my house and I have got £45 in my AQA account already. Not bad seeing as I have been at my mums most of the day.

    Before I go to bed, I want to do 5 reviews on Dooyoo. I'm just off to do the washing up and make my sandwiches for tomorrow. I feel very proactive today.

    1. Monday - file papers, phone vet, go shopping for baby present. don't know where tho? M and S? give out avon books?
    2. Tuesday - bring home two coursework folders to mark (working till 7.30)

    This is just my sort of challenge, so I'm joining too. I am such a procrastinator, though I have brilliant ideas! My head if full of projects, plans and details that compete and distract me, especially from doing the everyday stuff.

    I haven't really thought about all the things I've to do yet as I have one biggie, which is:
    • write a draft of my assignment. It's due on 1st December and needs to be 4000 words eek!
    I'll add other stuff as it occurs to me but so far:
    • phone orthodontist
    • phone British Gas
    • tidy paperwork (filing/letters)
    • clean upstairs (bathroom and bedrooms).

    Welcome all new procrastinators!

    I must go to sleep in a minute. I've only managed to do 2 reviews on Dooyoo as the cat was sick so had to clean that up.

    However, I have already thought of another 8 things to review so I've emailed that to my work email and will write the reviews there and then just email them back and copy and paste them tomorrow whilst doing my questions.

    I have also loaded up my washing machine, ready to switch on before going to work so it will be finished when I get home.

    I almost feel too pumped to go to sleep!!
