Yes, that's the type of thing I was looking for. If there isn't one, then yes, I could think it through and try to start a thread- thank you for the idea (you're always so encouraging :A) .... Let me have a think....Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.

Have sorted through DD1's yukky packing boxes :eek: Two large boxes condensed into half a large box. Whew!:jSaving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.

Oh dear - it's taken me a lot longer and I still haven't achieved everything on my list. Was interrupted by two phonecalls, though, and DS2 isn't very well, so motivating him to do any homework is a struggle. It's just a cold, but he's not feeling great. I've given him calpol and am just about to get the vapo rub from the bathroom. At least I'm bathed and some more washing is on the go.
Next job:
vapo rub for DS2
washing out and next load on
lunch
DS2 is desperate to come to the shops with me, but I don't think it would be good for him. Waiting for DS1 to come home from his friend's, then I can get going.0 -

Me, as I want to be ready to go out as soon as DS1 is back (or DH, but that will take a while).0
