I have now sorted a mahoosive box of baby stuff and I can't decide whether to attempt ebaying it.. there are well over 100 items and I know I'll only get peanuts and it will cost about £15 to post. I can't be bothered photographing it all but have done 3 pics... flingety flingety fling! I have 3 bits of maternity clothes to go on and will have a bit more when I sort my stuff out.

wm's both emptied.. DS3 was moaning he had nothing to do.. he soon found something after I started giving him jobs.. he is sorting out school stuff for tomorrow

DD1 now...... vacuuming her pit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her new desk looks really nice.. her old one was trashed.. I think she is pleased really but moaning aout having to move her carp!

I managed to break the bed whilst changing the covers :rotfl:

The dowels and all the holes dont match up properly, so it was bound to happen again:mad:

CBA going to get the glue, so will be sleeping on the sofa tonight, and will sort it out tomorrow:D

Thanks Aunty Crafty!

I've finished!

Maybe just a couple of tweaks later on. Its not that great but hopefully it will pass

Oh I know that feeling!
You are welcome, but I had to go back and check what you were thanking me for as I thought I had given up trying to post - it kept showing the 'code' rather than the 'clapping hands':T

Hi All. I am really fed up with my untidy, disorganised, and in places, dirty house , so have decided to give level 1 a go for a couple of weeks and see if it works for me. Trouble is I'm really lazy with housework and always make excuses, plus I work full time. Am hoping the focus of specific, quick, manageable tasks will be just what I need :T. My to do list:

Monday - Sitting Room and Hallway

Level One
Open the windows and turn on some music!
Dust/polish grubby glass and mirrors and pictures.
Declutter the chairs, floor and fireplace
Level Two
Vacuum the floor now it is visible

I've spent all afternoon ironing - just 1 basket left to do now.

I have been deep cleaning the kitchen all day. Nearly finished, just need to hoover and for the DW to finish cleaning the hob thingies.

OH has put some dvds in the right boxes.

The boys have spent several hours moaning and about 20 minutes tidying.

Juliejim, I have the ironing to do yet. Boo :-(

I've lost count of the amount of boxes i've sorted through now. :eek: I've been going through every box and have 1 & 1/2 recycling bags, 1/2 black bag, a toy box full of stuff to Ebay and a carrier bag for the charity shop. It's not finished yet though there's 3 more boxes, under the bed and a bit of floor left to sort.

No sign of Ds2 and OH so i've put tea in the oven and i'm going to carry on until they get here. I don't think we'll have time for a bike ride now and Ds2 is going to have a fit. :eek:

I really need a mule slinging this way I have become sidetracked on the 'puter. Bathroom S&S done.

I need to darn DS1 school jumper as he needs a different colour after this term so I want it to last. Also need to check school stuff is all ready.

HHC anyone 5.30?
