    SGT, ooh exciting times! What exactly do you have up for grabs? My ears !!!!! up when I hear of people giving things away! ETA: they've censored me! LOL! Think of what a dog's ears do when you mention walkies, or biscuits and you will know what I mean! Or the end of a pin

    Exciting but stressful, normally I don't get stressed so this is not good!!
    I haven't got a clue what is in the garage, I started to make a list tonight so that I could Freecycle, but I gave up, I rang my auntie & she is coming over tomorrow so hopefully I can persuade her that she really needs everything!!! I did this before when I was sorting my mums & she took quite alot of stuff. I found my 'Teeny Tiny Tears' still in her original box, I think you will be to young to remember this cute little 'dolly'.
    So tomorrows plan is to sort the garage & then start decorating the lounge (Hopefully)

    Cheated slightly as OH's niece has done most of ironing for a fiver - what can I say, busy working girl!

    Also managed to go for a swim before work, no time for nails so that will have to wait until tomm.

    Was hanging around the Oasis gig until late tonight, interviewing drunken revellers while v sober.

    Just filed my copy so going to wash up and go to bed.

    Evening ladies,

    Managed to get spotless kitchen a bit messy tonight after making dinner, but OH did do the dishes for me, so will make it easier to clean again tomorrow. Managed to get The Bedroom of Doom in a nicer state than it was.

    Thanks for the suggestion of Freecycle Greenbee, but only have about a dozen bought tapes - the others are 'taped' blank ones IYKWIM, might take them to my carboot sale and see if anyone will take them off me, feels like a waste to throw them out.

    Managed to rescue a trapped tape with Lost & Prison Break on it, from my VCR, OH was impressed at my determination to rescue it.

    Well nite all, off to my nice (clear) bed so hope to get a better sleep x

    Hi all :hello: Thanks for all my 'good luck' and 'hope it goes well' messages! It was good, very tiring, and very emotionally challenging, but I think I'm going to love it :D

    Gotta go to bed now, cos I gotta do it all again tomorrow! :wave:

    Well I didn't get much of the list done today. I kept out of the way whilst DH had his hair cut so it was 9am when he went. Then made some tea, just supping that and my friend phoned to say that I was due at a meeting at 10.30. I wish I was given more warning when these meetings are called. I got home from that just with enough time to make some lunch and then go to art for the afternoon. then a serious case of CBA set in. Tomorrow doesn't look much better as have a hair appointment in the morning. Maybe do catch up tomorrow after lunch.
