    Just having a cuppa then I'll get out of bed..

    I have stuff to ebay which I'll save until cheapy listing days on 17th/18th.. you can use TL this time though, yes?

    Change of plan for today...

    We were going cupboard shifting but have decided junk/everything shifting from our room is priority so we can get the whole room sanded.. dust will get everywhere and all 4 walls need sanding.. so everything must be moved.. and I need to save up for a carpet.. that'll be about £150 probably.. though I may insist on fitting it myself to save cash.

    ~So.. jobs for today~

    Empty wardrobe move to landing and fill with bedding.
    My clothes can be chucked in a holdall for the time being.
    Landing cleared and vacuumed and refilled with OH's stuff
    Christmas stuff back in cupboard from whence it came
    DD's 1 and 2 off to hair snipped today (3.30 and 5:30)
    Photograph DD2's old stuff from top of Tiddles cupboard to be plonked on ebay
    Bins out.
    Vacuum girls/boys rooms
    books from landing onto bookcase downstairs
    sort catalogue returns
    post ebay parcels

    ~This week~

    Fridge from shed scrubbed and taken to DS1's new house :D
    HUGE tub of emulsion to DS1's new house
    Bag socks back to DS1

    Hope to be debt free until the day I die

    Sorry for the lack of posts last week, my sinuses are playing up again and have been put on to a second dose of anti-biotics if these don't work will have to get sinuses flushed - not sure what this involves but sounds horrendous!

    Anyway, feeling a good bit better and ready to get going with the flylday week ahead...
