    with the help of my lovely flylady friend - mwah - I have decluttered nearly 6000 emails from my cleaner's email account - they went back to 2007!!! anyway all sorted and filtered for her now! and this afternoon I did her ebay account and paypal account - so thats my good deed for the week!

    Lists up for Thursday and Friday..

    A further 10 bits chucked on ebeast.. I am not confident about any of it going.. but if it doesn't I at least tried.. it cost me nothing and I'll dump it all at nursery in the next few weeks if it is still here.. :D

    Tomorrow I will photograph the stuff from DS3's drawers and list that too.. in for a penny and all that.. I think I'll need to stop listing and look at parcelling and flinging after that.. I don't want to over-do it!

    Food scoffed.. cuppa guzzled and I am away to my nest.. well, for a shower and to my nest. I have my nail appointment in the morning and don't want to be late as I have at least 3 need replacing :eek:
