Starting early with the ebay challenge. Don't think I've got 20 things to sell but will have a hunt tomorrow. I've listed 4 things though. I'm hoping to make about £50.

Huge thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soapie for the lists / stars.

Just need to iron a shirt for DH then I can go to bed.

Night night everyone. xx

P.S. AnW'smum...Just an idea but I've slipped this week so my MACAW challenge is to put a wash on everyday and dry it all. I did this for 4 weeks and kept up well and found I really only needed to wash 4 days out of 7 and I got on top of things like dressing gowns, coats, etc. as well.

Muddersjust as well you are in - it wouldnt be the same without you - how's the back now - and I wanted to say that your PAD is fantastic - WTG!!!:T
Ladygrim I am sorry I seem to have missed you somewhere along the way - have sent you a pm and will be adding you to my new flyers list too. Welcome to the thread - hope someone sorts out FB for you. I think your signature is brilliant!

I know this going to be a huge pain, but is there any chance someone could post the weekly list so I can copy it rather than keep trawling through all the old posts?
Many thanks all and off to ironing mountain xxx

Siannie - not sure exactly what you mean - the list for each day is added to POST 1 every evening so you dont need to go through any post to find it honey - if you are still having problems feel free to pm me!
Jo good for you getting to grips with the ironing - I know how much you love it:rotfl:
Cally (((hugs)))Happy Anniversay honey - no it wouldnt have hurt him but remember he is a man and sometimes they need a bit of coaching! I like the sound of that proud mummy moment and your lovely DD in her prom dress!
Thriftyscotslass - (((hugs))) that must have been a traumatic time for you - but dont worry honey we are here and will support you all we can - you will soon get into routines and everything will get back under control - but REMEMBER you dont have to do it all this week - baby steps or I will be shouting at you!
huston why not have the day sorting out ebay - it will help with the decluttering and it takes a bit of time at the beginning to get your listings done. as for the seller account set up - you can do it in stages - its quite straightforward to do.
froddy well done on the weight loss - I think I have put on lbs with all these meals!!
OK Mrs B I will amend the list - I must have missed it - sorry hun x
AnW'sMum oooooooooooh a MACAW I wonder what that will be ....to do another hotspot.... or maybe even to do 2 hotspots... or to get some ebay listings sorted ....or to ignore toots!!!:rotfl:
sexy glad you and E have made it up!!! No you are not too late - will be amending the list anyway so will add you on too. I have had problems with my iternet today too - must be the weather!
ladyL ooh yes -purleese - I am still green though!!! Hope you had a nice day out.
Well done Floxxie - yes my hall and LR are a bit like that with stuff too!!


Ok ok ok ok I know I am over my curfew but its the itnternet;s fault - I was almost finished my post at 10.20 when I lost the connection - I managed to save my post and I didnt want to be playing catch up again in the morning so logged back on.

I am offski now and will see you all in the morning.
Love and hugs to everyone.
toots xx

p.s. I have to admit I am struggling a bit but I am hoping this week will be a bit easier. And I was out this afternoon to Lidls with my nice friend and managed not too badly - but ther's no way I could do shopping on my own - not a happy bunny at the mo! xxxx

Thanks Pigpen, Soappie & Toots.

I've just completed and submitted three very slapdash application forms, since my manager seems to think I should have applied in the round that was due in last Wednesday :rolleyes:

There is one role in the next round I might apply for, but I really do need to try to get my CV finished and up on the job sites again.

I had a successful day's shopping (we went to Bicester in the end, as we realised that with the GP on, it would be pretty empty, and it was!). It does, however, mean that I need to take the dress I found yesterday back (but I think I can take it into Basingstoke, assuming I remember!). The new dress is from MaxMara, and is turquoise silk... it's lovely, and feels very grown up! I also found some shoes in LK Bennett that match exactly (although I need to check how well they fit :rolleyes: so I may need to find an alternative pair!).

I've eaten badly today, and not taken much exercise, so I need to get my act together tomorrow. I'm very tired, and STILL haven't sorted out my study or home broadband... but only one more (deeply unpleasant!) week until I'm on leave.

I hope you all have a good week. I'll drop in and say hello every so often but can't guarantee to keep up.

I've just remembered that the chicken is in the SC... I'd better go and have a look at it

Hugs for Toots, and a reminder to take it easy xx
Off to watch CSI catch you all in the morning, up and flying!!
Hugs to anyone else in need and LadyL

Falling asleep trying to post this, so night all, :wave:

I've been looking into it tonight - I don't have much to put up, just some items that I'd bought from there but didn't suit me (two coats) and going to try the kids stuff, that's getting to small.

I never done ebay before because I hate stuff lying around and end up putting it on freecycle or giving it to the local charity shop, if I've tagged it to go - I want it gone. If I declutter any more, my house will look bare and I think my oh will start to hammer stuff down. I'm a serious cleaner, I spring, summer, autumn & winter clean my house and that's not to mention the mid ones I do. I really think I have some form of problem, I do laugh that I'm a bit OCD, I'd tell you more but you may bar me from flying with yous. One day I may tell you the hospital story.

Good erm, well morning I suppose

Been a great day, might have taken out from my study time but took the boys to see my Dad. Of course to meet my Dad's new partner for the first time and see his new house. Well it probably couldn't have gone better (well if the boys had behaved a bit better maybe), boys seem to really like her. Went to DPs Dad's house, then home. Have done some more of my assignment that is due tomorrow, one question left which I need another book for which is upstairs so will do that last bit tomorrow evening.

Right tomorrow, kids to school, school trip, sports club, meeting ---- that's until 9.30pm gone, at least very little needs doing in the days rooms best get to bed, night night xx
