  • 22/50 items labelled so doing well but boredom is setting in. When I get to 50 lunchtime.

    I've about 10 to go - but now down to big "toys of many pieces" type stuff, so having to take apart, count & double check its all there. Tedious but worth it if they don't come home again.... I will have my house back, I will.

    And very happy as have just managed to get Selfridges Grotto tickets for Christmas Eve - a certain small boy will be amazed in due course!

    Back to NCTing - maybe time to fly later this afternoon. I am washing everything in sight as its a nice day but will have a huge ironing mountain to conquer later.

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Well done MOAM! I've had lunch. I've got games and books left to do now. I'll run out of labels I always do but will put what is left back in the loft either for the next (and possibly my last sale) or the school are doing toy tables at the Christmas Fayre so I could share a table there.

    Hi everyone. I have been getting stuck into clearing the garden this week so not much done in the house. I have been doing things steadily everyday but of course now stuff like clearing kitchen benches/hob cleaning/vaccuming around etc all need doing again so will try and get these things all done today and the weekend. I am just aiming for getting as much of the three levels done, ignoring extras. Have deleted stuff already done this week that doesn't need repeating today.

    Off i go..............
  • Today's list
    [STRIKE]Write letter to Aviva re: name change 15 15[/STRIKE] - didn't take as long as I thought
    Document sifting/shredding [STRIKE]15[/STRIKE] 15
    Tidying round 15 15
    Wash walls in kitchen (need to find s/soap) 15 15 30
    Post office/newsagent run 15
    Exercise 5 5 10

    Need to give the shredder a bit of time to cool down so think will do the PO run now

    One thing I've taken to doing lately which works well for me is whenever
    I'm tidying round I've got a big tote bag and anything that needs rehoming into another room gets put into there then I have a replacing session at the end of that room - it saves me getting sidetracked when I come across something in the wrong place.
    I'd rather be watching CSI!
