I am not at home for a few days, so my list of to dos is really a lot different.
I am at BF's so
Make a courgette loaf cake, and a banana cake, to use up whats around, and then I am going to see about making a mousakka for evening meal. It will be a treat for someone else to cook for BF as his kids never think to cook for him. (16, 19, and 21) all living at home .

As a world class procrastinator this thread is just the kick up the !!! that I need - cheers folks here is my (dull) list, all to be competed by Sunday 10pm.

* Send out sold ebay items.
* List another 10 items on Ebay (at least)
* Clean bathroom floor
* Clean kitchen floor
* Finish painting bedroom (started Nov 08 :eek:)

That will do for now as it is all I can think of and the painting will be a two day job. Plus I'm working 8-7 til Friday.

Hee hee lets see if I can actully do this :rotfl:

Well- don't go through it. Just pick it all up and put it in a box/bin bag and let him sort it out later

Tried that before, took all the boxes out of a cupboard (loads of his old stuff from parents house), tidied my stuff up, put it back and left his out to sort through. Guess what, they went back in as they were after they sat on the guest bed for a month :mad:. Well if we ever move or if a wee one's on the way he has to sort his stuff and I'll have some leverage, whereas he "doesn't have the time" just now . But he's good about tidying his desk, he does it about once every two years :rotfl:. So I do that now and then i.e. lift things up, clean undeneath and put them back in stacks. Sorry, he comes across as a bad BF just now but he isn't, I guess he's just a man and doesn't share my tidyness standards, but then I'm a bit extreme. I love tidying and sorting :rolleyes:.
