Dustykitten

Managed to get a few things listed on ebay but my turbo lister started playing up - I have a love hate relationship with it. I hope to put a few more bits on over the weekend.

Just going to have some vanilla icecream and then off to bed to read.

Sending sleeping dust to all of you who need some.

Evening Everyone

Happy Birthday Jennybee & baby is gorgeous

Have spent most of the day either listing on ebay or packing up & posting things........I will declutter this lot!

Caught up on the washing & ironing, bins put out for collection tomorrow, for some reason I didn't think they would collect on Good Friday, so will have to wait & see.

Toots the postman came today.....that was very sweet of you thanks xx

Night, sleep well ~~~~~vibes~~~~~~ to all that need them

I am thrilled with my progress this evening - especially as I didn't start til this evening. When DD comes home I think she may turn away thinking she has come into the wrong house! Thanks everyone - it's reading about what you are doing which spurs me on :T

I have left a pile of shoes for DD to sort out (sure she doesn't need them but decluttering on her behalf is something I daren't do

I have done alot of tomorrow's list already - attacked DDs bedroom when she was out on Monday but there are a few other things off the list like the windows that I can do so will post a revised to do list in the morning.

Bins and recycling collected today but my blue box is almost full again and I have two black bags full of rubbish as well so could do with another collection - fortunately they take as much as is there (don't have the problems some of you seem to have with limited collections)

Going to have a glass of wine before bed - really think I've earned it and didn't dare have it before in case it affected my flying!

Have read all the posts today (really hard to keep up) but not commented on individual ones as not enough time but have to say I really enjoy everything.

Night all

Oh quick edit TOOTS - Tuesday and Thursday all done
Two more stars please yippee :T :T

Will not be possible to keep this up but means will go off on holiday on Saturday leaving nice clean and tidy house and that will be a good start to term when back at school the following week (will only be back home day and a half before back to work so surely we can keep it fairly clena and tidy in that time (says she crossing fingers and toes)
