    Hi all,

    Congrats to pigpen - i too look forward to seeing any pics.

    Well, did not do everything on my list, but got other things done that weren't there. Those books are a real FROG, i hope i have got that right. In my declutter, I have loads of stuff in the spare room (aka tip) and it needs to go on [STRIKE]Facebook[/STRIKE] Freecycle, so that is going to be my focus for today. Here is my list.

    FROGS (books and Freecycle)
    Lounge level 2
    plants
    bedroom level 2
    papers
    sheets
    laundry
    dailies

    Happy saturday everyone

    Updated my e bay sales sheet (spreadsheet with automatic calculations to work out paypal and FVF and nett sales) so deleted everything from sold list. Had a lovely feedback which I needed as I am now 97% ish :eek:

    dropped, and smashed my 1l pyrex jug (fell off drainer) got it from TK MAxx at Crystal Peaks and I will miss it... never seen them elsewhere and was sooo cheap...
    washing out - been rinsed by rain but I can see blue sky so left it
    DS loaded washer (his clothes) under supervision - and without argument - probably because GF is here. She has showered here for some reason - she has been staying at her brothers because her parents are away.

    Hello to all

    Not much flying done this week but house is not too bad.

    Congratulations on the safe arrival of Dot Pigpen I wish her a life full of love and happiness.

    Off to put the second lot of washing out and if the sun stays out to do a bit of weeding.

    Wm hasn't stopped today and doesn't look like it will stop any time soon. Boys bedroom has been done and all toys sorted, 1 bin bag of broken stuff. Now i need to take down the wardrobe and pack it up. Then old wardrobe can be moved back in and i might even sort through Rhys's clothes and give the blue set of drawers to my sister..:D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
