    I'm hoping its the bathroom cos I got OH to clean it for me today :D:j:D

    I'm hoping for anything other than kids bedroom - I need that to be Friday so that I can chip away at it Mon-Thurs...and then the final push won't be so overwhelming :o

    of the 6 things I listed 3 sold - the cheapest went for 5p (thank goodness for P&P) partly because I mistyped the starting price, then decided to leave it and see what happened. Vintage soap and talc which has been lying around *rolleyes* in my gift stash and which was never going to be given as a gift in a million years...two have paid, I have wrapped them all as I can pop to the PO on my way home from work tomorrow - and if the last pays tonight - job done (not bad for the Queen of Procrastination).
    I relisted the other 3 lots especially as 1 did have watchers. If they don't got next week I shall charity shop them then I think.
    Just put something on the school website and while I was there amended a post by another teacher who doesn't know the difference between practiced and practised - since practice is an noun you can't change the tense of it anyway..
    Not surprising every observation I have ever had has always had good comments for teacher's subject knowledge;)
    Feedback left for the people who've paid. I never used to feedback this promptly - think it was Dusty who caused me to change my mind on that one!

    Hi all!

    Didn't go to town this morning, forgot about the Manchester run - hope it went well Sunnygirl! Going tomorrow afternoon instead - hopefully will be less busy.

    Done lots of bits and bobs so think I've finished my lists apart from the windows - I'll do them this week.

    Mrs B hugs, kick that BD out!

    Love to everyone

    sshh... don't let pigpen know that. She NEVER gives us anything she thinks might be easy at the beginning of the week. You have to make sure she knows that your bathroom is a health hazard and you've been putting it off....


    Oh no! BUSTED!!! :eek: I guess I have a lot to learn :D

    Will you all stop telling pigpen how easy it's going to be for you :shhh::shhh:? She'll just give us more to do. :cool:

    Piggers - My house is a tip, ;) I can barely see the floor, the fridge is full of half-rotting vegetables and there is a thin layer of icing sugar :o over the whole of the house. I haven't done any ironing for weeks, and I can't find the suitcase I need for tomorrow. Oh... and I'm away from Tuesday until whenever BA get me home (ash permitting)

    Kitchen finished and new tomato growhouse took all day to put together - thank goodness for a patient brother who didn't lose it putting it together piece by piece.

    He bought me a drill set ready with all sorts of bits and bobs in - ready to buy a drill and off I go on the DIY route!

    House tidy - ready to start again this week along with lots of planting and potting on after work

    My flat is a hovel really... I mean OH "cleaned" the bathroom, but he doesn't clean it to flylady standards, more like a S&S really. Everywhere else is terrible. I can barely move, that's why I spend so much time on MSE :D *crosses fingers*
