After getting sidetracked by ebay stuff last night I sat down with the computer bits box and just held things up for OH to say "Keep / toss / ebay"
We now have a collection of CDs for the garden, blank CDs and OH is taking a half-used cartridge into work this morning to recycle. Also managed to gather some bits together for ebay so I'll get them listed today hopefully.
Plans for today are :- Get the washing up finished - I did a batch last night that was just cups and glasses and the cutlery
Still have to do plates/bowls and 3 saucepans
:o
- Get the rest of the ebay stuff typed up if possible, if not they can just be listed next week. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to let OH list the computer bits as I haven't a clue
:rolleyes:
- Get the b*o*dy ironing done :eek::rotfl:
- See if I can manage to get any more statements scanned. Didn't manage any yesterday:o
I might not be Flying as in deep cleaning, but I'm defo decluttering :rotfl:

I failed yesterday
Long day at work & bad PMT last night! Wasn't in the mood for anything apart from 3 snickers ice cream bars
But, today is a new day & I'm off work.
I'm spending the morning on here - hubby still in bed after working til 1am this morning. I dont want to wake him by doing housework - well, thats my excuse and I'm sticking to itHe goes to work at 1pm so I'll start at about 11.30 when he wakes up. I have GOT to do the utility room, downstairs toilet and living room today.
Kitchen tomorrow after work.
I'm working 9-7pm on Sat so will finish my bedroom on Sunday (its half done!)
Now I've commited myself by telling you al my plans I'm hoping I'll actually do it and not jsut think about it!
Off to pay my bills online and attemt to fill in my moneyclaim form for my bank charges (I'm scared about doing this - my brain isn't that clever!)Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...0 -

Plan for the day
1. DD room, Sort toys, clean the room, change the cot , note to self remember the to clean the window.
2. Make banana bread.
3. Ironing basketSorting my life out one day at a time0 -
I made a proper start yesterday and did some of the kitchen. Came across a £25 cheque for one of the kids(bithday pressie) that we'd not paid in
Kitchen probably wasn't best place to start as i couldn't complete and didn't get the satisfaction factor from a complete area done. Got lots of time today as asked DS after-school club to pick him up tonight. With DD in nursery that gives me till 5.30 to catch up.
I have done the shoe cupboard and put some shoes and slippers out for recycling tomorrow and will tackle rest of kitchen next.
I've got to get done as far scarier than moggins telling me off:pI registered my details for the architect in the home week, after seeing it on MSE and have someone coming out next week :eek: need to get finished for then.

Morning all, I am so late this morning. Carpet fitter came at 8.15 this morning so didnt get out with dogs until after 9.
Plan for today is, after coffee and biccie to keep the old strength up:-
Hang out washing
hoover up bits left by carpet fitter
lunch
clean dining room then living room
I still havent cleaned my fish tank, I promise I'll do this today
Glad to see everyone is still doing well, we all deserve a relaxing weekend, lets now start praying for some good weather :-)

The living room is now mostly done except for clearing out the magazine rack. I've just started on the kitchen (in between fielding two phone calls from my mother and one from DH's work) and had a lightbulb moment! For years I have had to keep a basket of towels on top of the fridge freezer because we have a very small bathroom and no real airing cupboard (we have a cupboard with the hot water tank in but it's right in the middle so no room for shelving and the laundry basket is underneath it.
I have now placed a sheet of MDF on top of the water tank and placed the towel basket on top of thatFreeing up the top of the fridge/freezer for my dehydrator and smoothie maker

Well 1 batch of dishes (crockery, cups & cutlery) is done, but there is still the pans and a few bits that wouldn't fit in the drainer still to do. At least I can now see the worktop in that corner though!
Ironing is underway as well. Some of it is already in the wardrobes but I've not got any room on my new hanging thing as it's full of washing :rolleyes: Am getting there though. Hoping to get it finished before DD comes home. Better get on with the last few bits that aren't on hangers before settling down for my lunch & a little bit longer on my game.

Just having my lunchbreak, couldn't believe this had dropped to the second page! Suppose everyone's too busy doing to report in !!
Have now finished livingroom. Must admit wasn't too much to do as I only redecorated about a month ago!:D But it is lovely and tidy with all miscellaneous (sp?) items removed and rehoused. Haven't gone through all cupboards and drawers, figure those can be done one at a time of an evening.
Halfway through hall and stairs, but only one bookcase to organise there, so dusting and washing down to do.
Going to have a look round other threads then back to work.;)You never get a second chance to make a first impression.0
