Jinky my lovely - don't think any of you want me to post regularly again as all I do is moan! :rotfl:
Kazw - hello back - hope your well
Forgot my manners earlier - many thanks to FLC for running the thread and organising us.
Need to crack on with ebaying (in other words actually start doing it! :rotfl:) as cash is very much needed. Need to get a new memory card for my camera as it's gone on the blink but haven't seen a really cheap one to buy yet.
Oooh and toots - I sorted the enormous cupboard again (so big you can stand up in it) - last year you said to do a shelf a night - well I did it all in less than an hour this time and looks much better.
Much love to all especially toots and LL xxx

Poor DS1 had History AS this morning and Geography AS this afternoon - He's got English Lit on Thursday. DS2 had RE and I had the joy of invigilating RE.

Dailies done
2 lots of laundry done
2 ebay sales posted.

Just having a cuppa then I need to sort out dinner as we need to leave for cricket in an hour and a half.

Well it took about 30 mins to do most of the LR, I am quite shocked. I managed to dust all surfaces thoroughly apart from the bookcase and storage unit, I just dusted around those. Having a quick sit down then I will tackle the hall and stairs, that normally takes 15-20 mins to do everywhere. I now have a pile of stuff that I need to deal with or need to persuade OH to deal with!

:wave:everyone - thanks for the lists and support. Vaguely in but a scary amount on atm, and something has to give.

AnW - two hours on the RoD?!?! :shocked:

Some of this frog eating is suprisingly profitable - I should have made time to do it before.

Tomorrow I have a charity bag collection for the british Heart Foundation direct that actually takes books and toys. Time to do some flinging.

Finished downstairs for the day apart from the paperwork/insurance. Heading upstairs now, should be done in about 20 mins, then I will try and get to the bottom of the paperwork :eek:
