After posting my list last night I decided to get the ebay items out from the understairs cupboard :eek: 3 boxes and a bulging carrierbag and there's even more under our bed which OH looked at last night and said "GO" :j There's things in there which I've been trying to get rid of for about 12 months and he's kept saying "keep that", "why do you want to get rid of that?" etc etc :rolleyes: I told him I'm aiming to earn somewhere in the region of £300-500 for Christmas through internet sales, cashback sites etc It would be nice to actually buy things for people with a slightly higher budget as £10 is a little small now everyone is over 18 except for DD and my brother :rolleyes:
Anyways, so far I've made the beds, and swiped the bathroom over. Only the kitchen to doAlso started filling in the radio survey I'm going this week with DD
Speaking of who I need to do her hair now :eek: Later :wave:

Morning all
DD is at home sick today, but she only has a nasty cough and cold and I thought walking her to school in this awful weather would make things worse, so she has been dusting the living room for me.
The kitchen is all done, the bathroom is swished, the living room will be trashed today with DD homeDaddy is currently unpacking one of her christmas presents and swearing! Dailies are mostly done apart from the beds. I was going to watch Quincy but have already missed the beginning so I'm going to do a boogie instead. Must go back to the list and check what I've missed out.
Happy flying everyone, and remember it is not a competition and anything that you achieve which is more than you would normally do is brilliant.
P.s. yes it does get a hell of a lot quicker when you've been at it for a couple of weeks and keep on top of it.Organised people are just too lazy to look for things
