    pigpen well done with the boxes but remember you said you would take it easier today:p

    I lied!!

    My 3:45 HHC has JUST ended...

    The boys boxes of gibble are all sorted.. all 10 of them.. They are now a huge box and a binbag for charity shop, 3 binbags and an empty box for the bin and half a binbag of random toys for nursery..

    DS3 will be happy though, there is a drawer full of lego and a drawer full of little men.. and to Keep DS2 happy there is an underbed box of computer games!

    There are 3 boxes of books still to sort but I think 10 boxes of toys and junk sorted is quite enough for one day!

    That is such a relief to have such a huge job out of the way :D

    My landing has been reclaimed!!!.. Tomorrows huuuuuuuuuuuuuge job is finding floor in the girls room.. that makes the boys boxes of junk look like a piece of cake! I need to fit moomins new CoD's in there and sort through all her clothes.. and I may just find a few more to go to nursery!!

    Oh.. and we have more Duplo than Toys R Us.. so far I have found 4 huge stacking boxes full.. and I'm not even looking at the happy land stuff.. I may just send it all to nursery!

    I am still very conscious of the 50+ boxes of toys in the loft.. and the fact the sheds all need sorting!

    So.. tomorrows jobs..

    Find floor in the girls room
    Dismantle DD3's bunks and erect the mid-sleeper that was DD1's for her..
    restack ALL the junk under the mid-sleeper
    Sort through moomins clothes
    Take new CoD's upstairs for her and fill it!
    Sort a bag of DD3's clothes to deposit at KH's
    Sort and lock wardrobe!!!

    and no doubt a million other things as well!

    Must wash hands and get dinner on! I am starved!

    Evening all

    I had to log in today (I never log out) and all my thanks had disappeared so I had no idea where I'd got to! Don't you just love improvements?

    Lovely day. I got the grass cut back and front and a load of washing dry. Vacuumed through downstairs. The concert was just amazing. We got home about 11pm and DH had to be up with DD2 at 4 am to take her to the airport, even though I didn't get up I still got woken up so it's been a funny old day. And the poor dog is ill again with her vestibular syndrome (a bit like vertigo) so she's falling down even more than usual and was sick everywhere this morning :(

    Well done on your decision pigpen. Sometimes the ebaying just isn't worth it and I think you really need to get the clutter gone so you can concentrate on all the other stuff you've got to deal with!

    I was too late to go to the farm shop... so went to the supermarket and somehow managed to come home with a kenwood :o I've wanted one for ages, but not done anything about it... however, this was a 1000w motor reduced by £100 so it seemed too good to miss :o

    I did however, forget to buy a broom, metposts, fence posts and a rotary washing line :p any recommendations for the latter would be appreciated. I don't need it for a few weeks as I've got to clear all the broken glass from where the old shed was (the base had lots of glass mixed into the concrete, and underneath it :mad: the previous owner of the house was a picture framer...

    Suppose I should unpack my shopping (oh... and I did get two clematis at homebase because they were cheap and ones I know I like... I should probably go back and get bedding plants sometime to fill the many, many gaps I'll have this year!), put the sprinkler on the lawns, have some food and then do SFA for the rest of the evening :D
