  • Mrs-moneypenny (((hugs))). Our thoughts are with you. Thanks as usual juliejim. Im in too. Well i could cry at our place. I was almost getting cocky at how clean and tidy everything was and how easy i was finding it to stay on top of things then wham. Spare room with the door firmly closed, high to the rafters with carp needed sorting as we have people to stay next week - the whole place has become a disaster zone - again - except for kitchen & my bedroom. I really don't know where to start - oh yeah spare room looks lovely now as carp is all around the house and we are at this moment putting up a double bed which i got from freecycle. Only problem is, my guests will have a bit of trouble getting to it with all the said carp in way. I didn't want to throw things as i wanted to put them on ebay to help cashflow, but it aint happening, maybe i should just charity shop it all and be done. Sorry for moan, it does seem to help when written down.

    My Xtra list for this week

    Box all stuff i dont want (today), even if it takes till midnight
    ermm get boxes
    Sort paperwork

    If i can do this, then keep up with daily flying, hopefully i can get back on track this week. Happy flying everyone.

    Save Dosh hugs and a dose of get a grip for you. Go now and list one item on ebay -- no I'm not listening to your excuses go do it! Starting is always the hardest part. After that set yourself a date, not too far in the future by which time you will have listed x number of items - if you haven't done it then those items go to the charity shop. Then set your next goal. Good luck you can do this!

    Packing still in progress. Going to have a 15 minute break and clean the shower room and then once DS2 is home I need to take him for his interview. Fingers crossed would be so appreciated by both of us.

    -edited for you;)

    am absolutely shattered. 'I am limping' towards Wednesday when I can start to get my life, and my house, back in order.

    I like my new iron though:D

    Managed to find enough energy to list on flea bay without pictures but am adding the steadily, now.
    My lights cost (cof) £440 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: so I need the dosh.

    Going to empty then refill the maiden, put stuff to go to mum's in the car *fling* and continue nibbling at the mess.

    Sorry for your loss MrsMP - hope that there are smiles among the tears and that happy, precious memories are brought to mind.
