    Okay Mum has gone home now, we got quite a lot done, the bathroom is now spotless and the airing cupboard sorted and tidied; ds bedroom is clean and tidy; the lounge is tidy but not yet cleaned, the kitchen is half done, my room still needs work. She's coming back in the morning to help me finish it off, we got a few bits down to the garage too. Tomorrow we will also be moving the guinea pigs over to hers while the flats on the market :o:o Then its time to get the agent round to take photos etc.

    Tonights plan is to try and have a bit of a rest, do a tescos order online so I don't need to go there tomorrow too, read some more of the house moving board, do another couple of bets and also figure out how many points I've eaten so far today as I'm starving :)

    Well done BB, you certainly know how to execute a plan. Your mum sounds lovely helping you like that especially when she is has alot going on with your dad. Did she give you much grief about it not being totally tip top?

    Morning all :) 10p on the scratches, a lightspeed survey done and £5 on its way to paypal, a qualifying bet sorted out and its only 9am :j

    Mum will be round soon to help carry on with the flat, then I have a mystery shop to do on the way to picking up ds. Then it will be homework, bath etc, back to work again tomorrow, where did the weekend go? :eek:

    Mum has been round, flat is looking all sparkly, guinea pigs are ready to go to their holiday house (staying at mums til the flats sold), all that I have left to do is a smll pile of ironing and the velux windows to clean (fairly easy as they turn inside out :)). However, the battle will be to keep it this clean and tidy once ds is home ;)

    So, the flats all but ready to go on the market, now its up to me to make as many pennies as possible to make this move viable/easier :o

    Wish I had a small pile of ironing...just started mine, it's a mini mountain! And I know exactly what you mean about the lovely tidy house...until the mini people re-appear! I seem to spend my time trotting along behind them picking things up;)
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    All my surveys have been done from my inbox, managed to actually complete a few without getting chucked out halfway too :D Still waiting for the tesco order to arrive, it should be here between 12-2pm, but I have to go out at 2 to collect ds so am hoping it isn't going to be late :o

    Just called tescos as they haven't arrived within the time frame and they said the driver said he'll be another 20 minutes, I said I have to go out to collect my son and could they bring it later and he said no, maybe tuesday :eek: :eek: They shut though at 4 today so I can't go and get the stuff from the store now either as I have to go and get ds and won't be back in time :mad: :mad: I have to go and do the mystery shop now and then will try and nip in and pick up a few of the bits I wanted, am sooooo annoyed, what a waste of time doing the order, waiting for it to arrive and now I have to go to the shop and do it all over again anyway :mad: :mad: They said they can't do anything about it and if it had been over half an hour late they'd refund the delivery charge, but 20 minutes is fine :mad: :mad: :mad: Really really p***ed off now :mad: :mad: :mad:
