    Tidied up my harddrive.. 514mb of rubbish binned.. and some pics which I had duplicate copies of... much tidier!

    Found some more bits to ebay over the weekend.. I have 11 items ending tomorrow all but 1 have watchers and 4 have bids.. FLING! It might not be a lot of money but it all adds up!

    DD1's prom dress rammed back in wardrobe.. I found a skirt I didn't know I had :eek: I binned an empty box off the landing and rummaged through the ebay stuff..

    I have half a binbag of guff for charity shop!

    Boys are away to lightwater valley with god squad tomorrow so I will get through their drawers in the morning if I can and drag DD2 to get her shoes checked!

    saturday has arrived! dh has to work today (hope not too long), kids made their own breakfast! and i actually stayin in bed till 7am!!!!

    after school run yesterday we decided to go straight to our local park and met some friends there and stayed for 1.5 hours :D - but it was lovely sunny and warm, how could i not!!!

    i do have to take the washing in soon - there are high wind warnings!
    do a bit in the kitchen and i might actually do a meal planner!!! i was so good with that back in the uk but i just fail completly here!!! i plan and then i cook something different :wall:

    we'll also do a trip to the library and a quick tour around the shopping centre - i did promise my son to do some experiements with his new microscope kit and to bake a cake with dd! - wish me luck ...

    Morning

    WM is on OH got it to work last night, it seems once we had dragged it out of its housing, and got the back off it, the drive belt had come off the drum and motor drive, goodness know why that would happen.

    Seems his DIL had an emergency section to have the baby, he still has not been able to contact is son, but his daughter rang him and updated him, but mother and babe are ok.

    Listies at the ready
    Ebay listing, listed 22 so far this morning, rest to do later.

    Morning All

    Got quite a bit I want to do today both out and about and at home. We're having a clothes swap at SW between 10 and 1 so I want to go to there for a bit, I've got some shopping to do and there's loads to be done here.

    Hugs SSL

    Right I'm going to put a load in the WM and see where I go from there.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
