  • I've done rubix cube type furniture moving and am quite shocked by the amount of dusty junk that is under the sofa. Have taken a pic so might be able to do before and after photos.
    Have also downloaded pics from phone to laptop so can now start ebay pics. Going to take some ebay pics now.
    Head ache is killing me. Finding it hard to see out of my right eye, so picture taking could be interesting! LOL!

    Afternoon all

    I did some washing but I've just given up and got it back in because it's drizzling. Spread it round now.

    My landing got done with the bedrooms on Tuesday, my "study" is in the hallway by the front door where the computer desk is and that was done with the living room. The coats are hanging up in the hallway and we've only got one each on there, plus my cardigan when I'm not wearing it and my work tabard. We don't have a proper covered in porch but we do have a little shelter bit over the front door and that was painted a few weeks ago so it's all good.

    This morning I dusted the living room and computer desk again and vacuumed right through downstairs. I also wrapped a few more presents. I can only do a few at a time because it makes my back really hurt but I'm getting there.

    I think today's list is covered, I declutter the computer desk as I go because I don't like muddles and it's all mine so I don't have to look at DH's [STRIKE]rubbish[/STRIKE] precious possessions ;)

    Going to catch up a bit now while dinner is cooking, hope everyone's OK. Nice to see Penpen posting again ;)


    Happy Birthday Toots :)

    Sarah, hope today goes well for you.

    Pigpen, all the best for your aunt.

    My condolences for those who have lost friends or family in the last week, so sad when it's young people. Sad at any age but it seems such a waste when people are young.

    Afternoon everyone.:hello:
    Been abit of a mad house, 4 down with the cold including Rhys. The poor wee pet has been so unwell but i think his antibiotics are finally working.
    I had a root canal and filling done on tuesday and i'm in agony, pain killers aren't even touching it.:(
    I haven't had a chance to catch up on the tread but hope everyone is well.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • Have listed one thing on ebay and relisted two things. Can see four things from under the sofa that can go on ebay, one is a bedspread that is in the wash as is very dusty.
    Beyond that, haven't made much progress, but am taking it slowly today. Have emptied the bath so I can have one later. Going to sit at my light box now

    Hugs Eltee hope you are better soon

    Hugs Craftyscholar, what a week this has been with all these sudden deaths xx
