    If anyones after some extra pennies, think about selling books on greenmetropolis.com

    they are cheap to buy, free to sell, and the sites easy- Im a convert


    personally - I'd be there like a shot. Mrs Fly, on the other hand, will not part with her books......:o

    I'm in but am working at least 4 days out of the 5 so might have to do my challenges on different days.

    Definitely doing:

    1. Kids Toy Cupboard
    2. Under our bed, have loads of underbed storage boxes full of towels, bedding etc, seriously need to haul it all out and hoover big time. :o
    3. Garage & BBQ

    Now am I brave enough to post before photos? :o

    I have no problem with cleaning the bookshelvesbut get rid of books? Never. I am with Mrs TNG on that one. Four years working in a second hand bookshop takes its toll you know......
    Could we have a car cleaning day? I swapped with my husband for a few weeks and mine has come back with mysterious mould growing in the back were one of my little dears has dropped something sticky.

    Go for loft/attic day on Thursday. I havent got much of one and cleared it all out prior to selling the house so I shall sit back smugly

    If you feel in need of any practise there's a little home in Sussex which wouldn't object to you using to finely hone your skills :D Sadly I shall be unable to join in as am at work most of the week and have promised myself that I'll make mince meat on one day off and a tasteless Halloween tea for the small person. Good luck chap and chapesses. I do however, solemnly swear to deep clean my bathroom on Sunday in a vain attempt to get rid of the mould lurking. Make sure you treat yourself during the week with lots of cups of tea and buns (HM of course!!!!)
