    Hi Caz, almost finished.

    Garage stuff sorted into car boot vs eb@y

    Freezer and larder inventory finished. Am going to sit down and menu plan today so that it's finished. Shopping list started so will do that whilst on a tour of bank, flu jab at Docs.

    Hopefully by early afternoon, I will be completely sorted and will have some quiet time reading a book :):).

    Wow Tilly, well done! You are firing on all cylinders :eek:

    I have also exhausted myself and now am sitting down with MSE, hot cup of coffee and elevenses. I have finished cooking lunch, some batch-cooking to go into the freezer and onward to Uni for DS1, tomatoes roasted and apples baked. I'm not going to do any more work today as we are going out to enjoy the last bit of sunshine :)

    Have a good and relaxing weekend everyone!

  • That's it - I am done for the day. Just having a quick cuppa then jump in the shower and off on my round trip.

    Menu planned and printed through to our hols in October.

    Shopping list made but not a huge amount to do.

    Have a good weekend US, and well done on the batch cooking. I have a lovely lamb stew in the slow cooker :)

  • Oh my goodness well done you lot!! ;)
    you achieved an awful lot and Ive only just got up! :eek: needed the sleep tho!
    When I first started MSE and MF quest I was into selling everything and anything (poor old mrtyo had to hang onto his stuff if he wanted it to avoid being put on amazon! :p)
    However, now I am more pragmatic - there have been times that by the time Ive sold/posted things the profit is minimal and it is much quicker to go to charity shops and helps out so either way I think is okay!
    good luck with the rest of the decluttering!
  • Tilly hope your car boot goes well, a dry day and people having just been paid should make for lots of money :) I'm also tired out from reading all you've done today!

    Good luck with the car boot - is it today? You are making me want to tidy and de-clutter...except I've just had a summer of de-cluttering so know I won't get very far!

    Oh, wonder how they are getting on :D. Bet they buy bacon rolls for brekkie ;).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    seconded :D
    I am not brave enough to do a carboot sale. So, for the time being I'll stick to fleabay for the anonymity it gives me :)

    I did one and my Mum helped to keep an eye on things - we had such a laugh, you don't half meet some mad characters there! And make a few quid too of course :D
