    Also wishing you good luck for tomorrow Mary.

    IN

    Post - junk from Maker's Mark.
    Pile of freshly cut gift tags, to be strung and stored. :D

    OUT

    Pile of cut up cards.
    Papers from box under coffee table, cleared to make space for yarn.
    Boots 2009 gift guide catalogue.

    Been at this two hours and getting nowhere fast. Boiler has packed in last night, so shivering in two pairs of socks, legwarmers, shorts under trousers, two jumpers and a poncho! Also, it's snowing again, and the council haven't deigned to collect recycling for the fourth week running. Ever had one of those days?! (Think I need a cup of tea and some cake... :o)

    Mary!! Good luck for tomorrow hun :T

    Magpye - hope your boiler gets fixed soon. Was talking to my next door neighbour today who ran out of oil a week ago (she has 4 kids in the house) the oil company have taken her order and told her they cannot deliver until next week :eek: she paid them long before she ran out and its -2C in their house. I have decluttered my electric heaters out of the garage into their house currently. Oh and yes one of those days - bit like several on the trot at the moment but cake and chocolate definately help :rotfl:

    Slowing down here a bit at the moment as life seems to be getting in the way;

    In

    Post

    Pending in - new mattress for DS2

    Out
    Post all sorted
    Electric heaters
    Toiletries x3
    Magazines x2
    Recycling

    Pending out:
    DS2's old bed on ebay
    Recycling bins - 6 weeks and counting that they have not been delivered now :eek: apparantly though the council had 5 trucks break down yesterday, so perhaps we will get a collection before february if we are lucky.............

    Going to have a go at my jewellary box this afternoon, and declutter and organise me thinks.

    Hope you are all staying warm and safe in this weather, we had more snow yesterday :rolleyes: will be glad to see spring come now.

    Oooo good luck for tomorrow Mary, a lovely bundle of joy for the new year - my New Year bundle just turned 5 on Monday!

    Right, have been in DS room today and had a sort out (still got his desk to do) - usually we go through his stuff together, but I find that he wants to keep things and then never plays with them, so I have moved things out which I know he has not played with in past few months to go to charity shop.

    IN:
    Bank statement
    2 Amazon packages - soon to be out as they are for SIL birthday

    OUT:
    Bag of rubbish out of DS room, straight into dustbin.
    Bag of old Christmas decorations to Oxfam - dropped them off on my way to the bank.

    Pending out:
    Scope Charity Bag & 1 black bag - have filled with old toys and clothes from kids rooms - won't be picked up until Tuesday though :rolleyes:

    Hope everybody's having a good day.
