    Filthy weather here... I'm not sure I can brave it as far as the car to go into town with my dry cleaning!

    So now I've had breakfast and I'll get on with some flying... I might even manage to follow Pink's example and sort out my wardrobe, seeing as most of it is currently out awaiting sorting and has been for some time!

    I've still got some online orders to do, including finding some Christmas cards as I only appear to have 6 :D

    Stuff listed on freegle doesn't seem to be going (there are more offereds than wanteds for a change), so I need to think about how/where I'm going to get rid of it. It's mostly kitchen stuff... I'll put the details up on the FB swap page just in case anyone is interested!
  • Forepalce and mantlepiece done as well in lounge, doesnt seem like much but the whole of the mantlepiece was full of paper,old train tickets all sorts of junk that had just been left there by OH!!

    Freegle stuff now listed on the FB swap shop... I'm hoping some of you will be able to find homes for it!

    Must move from my desk and get the place a bit tidier! And get that last load of washing on...

    Nothing done so far apart from laze around and eat breakfast. DS is up and showered and ready to go out, DD has hit the bathroom and unfortunately has already been in longer than her usual 20 seconds so we could be in for the long hul waiting for her as she has a tendancy to 'play'. Wonder what potions she'll concoct today :rolleyes:

    Think I'll do some more surfing while I wait :D
