I havent added on todays rooms as the girls bedrooms are still okay from last week and I will wash the bedding tomorrow before we go away on sunday, instead I have been sorting out clothes for a) packing and b) for listing on ebay. I have managed to sell 14/18 things in the last 10 days just waiting on one payment and then they will be all posted, will add some more when i get back.
dusty - glad all went well today was thinking of you this afternoon, and re flying dailies are around 45 mins and then depending on what level i am aiming for and what the motivation is like anything from 30 - 90 mins per room.
Another who is a little short after the next sale (£200!!) although i did finally manage to get a head board half price only been waiting 3 years for it to appear in their sale. Dusty good luck tonight.
Tea it is, then I have the ensuite to clean & kitchen floor to clean for those days to be finished.0 -
The Playroom is nearly done - dusting and hoover to do. Two black bags of rubbish out though which is bad, mostly paper for recycling. I must stop just shutting the door on their mess at night and make them sort it out before bed so it desn't get back in the same state in a week.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0

I've started defrosting dinner, put the kettle on for rice, put a load of washing on, stripped and partially remade the bed. I thought I was feeling better, I feel worse now than I did on Wednesday. Having a lie down again."Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."
