    Done the photos for one pile of ebay stuff and done a sainsbugs online order for early next week.

    Think I'll start the turbo listing and then do a HHC upstairs to break the monotony.

    Well done Jinks (still at the 'I must impress my b/f stage then':rolleyes:;))

    I have had a (AF induced/tummyache/backache) nap and feel MUCH better

    pegged out washing - not sure it will dry but sure it will lighten. Now I'll have a bash at the bathroom - just waiting for a freecycler - shed clearance has gone VERY well!

    hugs to poorly flypeeps

    Now where's Little Miss Shattered?

    I have managed to get quite alot of flying done which is just as well as we've been away the last 2 weekends and had visitors staying the middle of last week..everything was starting to look abit neglected..

    The sun has actually come out here now so I suppose I better go & have a look at the garden...the weeds are terrible, looks like a complete wilderness, I don't really know where to start so might have to decluuter a cup of tea & a biscuit first!

    Ok so I have

    Put all this mornings shopping away which didnt really take much time, but all the wedding stuff is now hanging in the spare room in its dress/suit bags. I then went to put the new make up away I bought - wht did I buy anymore. Ok 2 eye pencils I use on a daily basis cut the rest :confused:. So I have sorted the drawers in the spare room which when no-one is staying becomes my hair and makeup room. I have chucked away loads of stuff that is old and I have a 10 x 8 cardboard box that is full of new unopened stuff including about 7 new mascaras - so why did I buy a new one this morning :eek:.

    Unfortunately as I was doing mine DD decided to do hers instead of doing her room so I darent look as she usually ends up creating more mess. Still at least I have convinced her to move her new clothes that she is saving for her hols to her suitcase in the spare room (damage limitation as she has paint all over her room - again)

    I'm now in CBA mood as the sun's gone in and its clouded over - which reminds me I should go and get the towels in I left out last night before they get wet again!

    Time for a cuppa again too anyone else for one :coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee: just help yourself.

    back in a bit

    Freecyclers have been - Bratz scooter gone. Other Freecyclers seem to be less forthcoming but pleased to get rid of the scooter as it was refused by the charity shop.
    I think I'll start with a quick tidy in the living room...

    New Weekly Challenge


    [STRIKE]Friday * List/fling the last 5 items [/STRIKE] Can I have another heart please???? :j


    Lots more decluttered into the recycling and bin!!!! More paper and envelopes as I sorted out the paperwork and filing and boxes. Plastic into recycling box - milk bottle and liner tray. Nice to see some more space freed up now the box pile is reducing due to ebay sales and I am not replenishing it as much with my buys!

    Store card paid off this afternoon - bit the bullet and decided to do it whilst sorting the paperwork out and came across the monthly statement which was due to take another minimum payment in a few days. Can't wait to shut the a/c down, might feel a bit more elated then mind you I know what is to come so maybe not :rolleyes:

    Right just the kitchen to do tomorrow for a final push!
