    I am stunned

    my e bay item, bought on a whim for 50p has sold for £13.50...I only listed it because it was free listing :rotfl: I quite liked it (I'm liking £13.50 more though). My other item sold for it's starting price - but hey! It's gone!
    I used to have a stall on the flea market in Chesterfield when Quillion was a little girl...
    I feel like I'm back in business LOL
    so I am decluttering - ie wrapping e bay parcels!

    Wow, I've got more done than I thought! It's amazing what motivation can do, thanks ladies!

    DH has just gone out to sort out a friends home cinema so I've got time to finish off kitchen. I'm really pleased with the flat at the moment, after the hen night I've cleaned up more than I thought so I'm very pleased. Just got a few bits in the kitchen to do still, hoovering and dusting.

    We're moving over the office into the bedroom as that room is just full to the brim with clutter. We're going to be making it into a dining room which will be lovely for having people round, when I can sort out the CHAOS of course!

  • Hello peeps :hello:

    Notso is notso good today….(did you see what I did there?) :p

    I’m tired due to my sleep apnea mask suddenly acquiring a hole – thought it was strange getting a blast of cold air in my left eye all night (why does the hole have to be in that particular place?) :confused:

    I also still have the headache I acquired during my workout at the gym last night. Can’t figure out what causes it – so far ruled out dehydration, lack of food, too much food, sinuses and tiredness (has happened last 6 times I’ve worked out)…….. I think it’s a nerve problem – it starts at base of skull and works it way round to forehead…..will speak to physio & chiropractor. :rolleyes2

    Inbetween taking and making numerous phone calls, DH taking car in for emergency work and trying to get a lift back, and all 3 DS now full of energy and feeling better (swine flu) I am trying to do some Flying, but not very successfully.

    Tomorrow might be better as DH will be out most of tomorrow fetching new car and I might let the electric babysitter in the corner of the room look after the boys for a few hours so I can do something. ;)

    Here’s my list:

    Toe-tickling Tuesday ~ Living room, Hall and Stairs

    Wipe the sofas if needed - not needed
    Wipe and water plants, dust and deweb – don’t have any plants…….have enough to look after with 3 kids, 6 ferrets, 3 dogs, pond full of fish, 4 chickens & a hawk

    Level Three
    Wash any soft furnishings that are in need - don’t have any
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe window sills, and any electricals and picture frames etc

    Evening all

    Much as I love you all after a day on the computer at work I'm not going to catch up on 10 pages! First day back was fine, feel loads better actually but am aware I need to take it easy, still coughing my guts up! It's amazing how people give you space on the train though :p

    You've confused me with all the smurfs :rotfl:

    Only flying here tonight is cooking, washing up and lunches, all of which is done. I might stick a load of washing on too. I prefer to leave the living room a couple of days as it was only done on Friday.

    I am going to love you and leave you for tonight.Might pop back in later depending on how the evening goes. I'm going to do half an hour of wii fit now.
