    I have to clear the garage but am currently 200 miles away from the garage! However have managed to list my bike boots and a pair of brown boots on Ebay. Somebody has bid on the bike boots and they have 4 watchers!

    Driving home this evening.

    Have done lots of washing today and some cleaning.

    Have taken the stair gate off the bottom of the stairs and moved the hall cupboard back to its rightful place. My little one will be three in October and can manage the stairs, have left on the top gate, its kinda strange sort of the end of an era. My baby is no longer a baby and there will be no more. I have done my bit, three is plenty for any family, and at 41 I am feeling much too old.

    Have listed a couple of things on e*ay and will do some more before night. There is plenty of eating in an elephant, and they taste better than frogs.

    Have listed 9 items today and have got 3 bids. I think thats me for the day. Have dinner to make and ironong to do but I do feel as if I have achieved a little today. I cleared out some of my DD's old shoes and have bagged and binned them, no good for ebaying and wouldn't insult charity with them, at least they are gone.

    We have a wasps nest in out attic and my OH has sprayed it with some stuff but I can still see them flying in and out through the airbrick. Horrible things.
