Argghhhhh can someone send a boot please so far i have only managed to amazon some books (10) and ebay 11 items. Arrrgggghhhhh so much to do. I did spend 2.5hrs on the phone to my mum explaining step by step stages on how you list something on ebay. I love her to bits but when you have to explain that you have to click the cross at the top right of the window to close it, no not the little minus sign, no not the 2 squares, the red cross at the far right, yes that one, have you clicked it, yes the left hand button with the mouse. ARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH. It will get better i promise myself.

Right must go hoover and dust and clean this fireplace out and pull a rabbit out of a hat (or rather a dish out the freezer) for tea tonight. Might open a bottle of wine, it tends to help it go quicker and easier!

Set your timers please for 15 minutes in every room challenge.

Evening all, Fridays lists now up, in Red for Red Nose Day of course. Sorry it's a bit late had to try to find red hair spray for DS2 for tomorrow after swimming, nowhere had any, he's not a happy bunny! Well that's it until Monday as far as lists go. Thanks for sticking with me once again. Has been chaos with PC being broken but worth it when I get to read how well everyones doing! Well done everyone, feel free to still post in here over the weekend of course (I probably will as DP has informed me he's out day & night Mother's Day and won't be back until Monday morning so I'm not best impressed!!!!) I'll post next weeks thread on Sunday night.

i feel a bit lazy as you've obviously all been busy! i've been in london for the day - am knackered as i left before 8am and just got in. managed to catch up with a lovely old friend this morning and then saw OH this aft and eve on the way back i decided to be moneysaving and catch the bus (£1.10) rather than a taxi (£5) back from the station, and when it was late i got my phone out to text OH, dropped it and it broke the battery won't stay in so its useless....so it was rather an expensive bus trip....

i go away again tomorrow morning, so except for a s&S i won't be able to do much, but i've done all the rooms this week, the study has only had a quick go but it will do til next week!

going to pack now, followed swiftly by bed (only had 5 hours last night)

15 mins in every room worked really well and the house looks a lot better for it - I even made the time to do a bit of painting in the half decorated room.

Means today whilst the sun is shining I can be out in the garden instead of cleaning. :j
