    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]Hi everyone especially pigpen, hugs hun, I've been away too long and didn't know of anything, so sorry I missed being here for you.

    I don't know what day it is anymore so just thought I would do what is most important.
    It is DDs wedding next week for whoever asked me yesterday. I am not panicking but even my GP who I met in the street told me not to get stressed.

    Anyway today DS3 has done 3 WM loads and hung them out and cleaned the hob and grill. I have been to Asthma clinic and been told to behave! I must try not to go near the building work as the old lime mortar is affecting my breathing.

    Had lunch out with DD whilst we sorted out menu orders for wedding and then tried to get started on the seating plan.

    I've just found out it is Thursday and I have sorted out the hall this week for first time in 4 years and all the building materials have gone outside so DD will be able to get through in her wedding dress:)

    What am I going to be like when they are older and go to bed later and there is no evening of our own ? OMG will I crack up ???

    Jill D, you sound like an extemely hardworking woman (couple) doing the level best for their lovely family. You naturally worry, but you are offering good food, and the children will get the nutrients they need. I'm not going to offer advice, given my baby on the table situation(!) but I just want to say it sounds like you are doing a fab job and working bloomin hard. Hugs.

    I haven't made much progress :rolleyes: but I have now been outside and done the mowing. I had to do it all with the blades high as it was so long, so I've been over it all (except one side of the front where I discovered violets in the grass so have now left it) twice - second time with the blads on medium. I'll need to go over it again tomorrow/sat, and I also need to do the ground elder with the edging shears as I can't mow it until the snowdrops/daffs/bluebells are over!

    Well done to those of you who are managing to get so much done this week! I don't think could fling as much as Holly, as I've been slowly decluttering over the last few months and I'm not bringing as much in. Books are my real problem - the local library isn't open any time that I'm around, so that's not the answer - I keep thinking that if I hang on to them I won't spend as much, but I'm not sure that's true!

    I think I'm going to get myself a garden bench to put outside the back door, so that when I get home with muddy boots/clothes, I can sit down to take them off rather than shedding dirt on the utility room. I really WANT a metal bench (I can get one for around £100), but know I can get a wooden one for about £40. So I need to work out the pros & cons...

    Well i got distracted again did the HHG and then decided to clear out DD2 wardrobe & drawers to remove winter stuff and clothes which are too small, so I know have more to ebay. Then went to find the plastic crate where I keep DD1 clothes tohand down to DD2 and dropped it on my foot. Toe (not the big one the one next to it) it currently twice the size it should be and defintely not the right colour!!!!!!!

    On the plus side i have more hand me down clothes than i remembered, so DD2 doesnt neet that much for the next few months.


    Any ebay sellers out there, when selling clothes how do you list - in a bundle of sizes, or colours or outfits together or split into tops, skirts etc or list individually at first and then bundle whats left?
