    tia - slow down!!! Ironing isn't as important as resting at the moment.

    kdean - I completely sympathise about the spider, as I'm phobic too. I'm amazed you actually stayed in the room! Is your OH normally OK with them, or could it be that he actually doesn't like them? If all else fails, I find dropping a telephone directory on them and then leaving it until someone else is around to clear up the skeleton works for me!

    Right... my brother has just called and wants to go for a walk at about 1.30 and it'll take me about 20 minutes to get to where we're meeting, so I have an hour to get a bit more done in the house, get changed and pack up what I need for the afternoon!

    Best get moving then!

    Done some more ironing and laundry sorting. Sat and watched celebrity cash in the attic, my feet are really achy right underneath (no idea why) so rested them for a bit.

    Going to do some bits off the list and then have lunch.

    Tia s*d the ironing, rest up it's not worth making yourself ill.

    Asda shopping delivered and put away. It's really starting to get hot now so I've shut the windows and pulled the curtains/blinds.

    Managed to declutter well over 100 items again today, roughly about 200 items, including all the recycling, 3 bin bags of plastic bottles, 4 boxes of jars, bottles etc for recycling.:T:rotfl:

    Good really as I fell off the wagon at the back end of last week with my declutter 100 items per day.:o

    Saying that though I managed to bin 2 huge bin bags from DD1's bedroom.:D She's away at the mo so I stepped into the Twilight Zone.:eek:

    Going to start a list of things I want to ebay as I keep forgetting what I have stashed.

    No he is fine with them had caught a big'un in the bathroom 5 mins earlier with his hands *shudder*. Just CBA I think because it was on the ceiling and doesn't think it is a valid fear. :confused: I know it is irrational but I can't control it.
