    You are right Hopeful I hadn't realised so much had gone on in last couple of days I couldn't understand why I hadn't really got much done in the house - declutter wise. Even finished the day off yesterday with first cut of grass - well only managed one of three grasses areas before OH came out to interfere so I left him to it.................. and he didnt put mower away:mad:

    Have been up a while and pottered making a list as long as my arm for the next 4 days:

    finish bathroom
    sort fridge and 2 freezers
    stock take in food cupboard and orderf rom AF if necessary
    finish bedroom sort out
    sort out at least 2 boxes in conservatory
    list 100 items on E*bay (FLW)
    put at least 10 items on Oxf*m bag
    get OH to put lawn mower away
    show DD2 how to cast on - deflect teenage moans;)
    empty office bin
    sort recycling
    list stuff on Fr**gle
    VVTB ( thats a vigorous vacuum top to bottom for the uninitiated:rotfl:
    Windows...... hmmmmm maybe
    Meal plans - once fridge etc sorted;)
    Shopping at Mr T if I really must
    Clean DD1 mice out
    Move stuff dumped in DD1 room when insulation people came cos she is back for one night on Sunday
    Sort the porch out which curently is storing a case of wine which arrived this week which OH thought he had cancelled;10 tubs of powder paint being thrown out at school - criminal;too many unused coats and shoes; a set of fantastic ex post office scales I got off Fr**gle to weigh my Eb*Y stuff but I haven't moved them into their final resting place yet; too many unused assorted bags and rucksacks and a carrier bag full of empty ink cartridges which I have no idea what to do with; plus a load of other assorted carp:eek:
    tidy desk
    tidy living room

    Well that little lot should keep me going for a while

    Happy Easter:EasterBun

    Where have my bullet point gone?:mad: G**gle Chrome:mad:

    A spendy day today but nothing too huge - well apart from the liquid gold I had to put into the tank :eek: The day out with a friend,bit of culture and a good catch up has been worth every penny :) Absolutely shattered now and all good intentions have left me. Think its a bath,record Our Food and then in PJs ready to shout at the Apprentice :)
