    Hi again folks, just sorting out my list of jobs for the week, and wondered if someone could point me in the direction of toots list? x


    You write your own.

    So it might be a big job eg decorating a room or a big-but-can-be-broken-up job eg unpacking the six boxes you haven't yet unpacked from when you moved in.
    Could be annual admin tasks - eg arranging MOT, getting road fund licence (oh shoot - it's September and I'll need one...) or researching insurance prices. Could even be finishing a craft project (blushes as hasn't picked up her knitting for weeks).

    Mind you some of them can be Frogs...

    Thanks Valli, I thought it was a master list that was posted somewhere :doh:. Just checked out the frogs link and looks an interesting read, may have to get the kindle edition to save more clutter. :)

I'm in again, though kind of lost my way as of last wednesday...I think it's because I seem to spend my days repeating the living room...I must create some sort of basic list to be done daily...nursery begins wednesday, I may manage some level of tidiness with a couple of hours to myself, and the baby will be able to nap again, yay!

    Morning folks,

    Thank you for the lists. xx

    So far this last weeked, I have:-

    1. car booted, made £110.00 so very pleased with that.
    2. listed about 40 odd items on 2 account on eby, 3 of which had bids so far, so pleased with that
    3. cleaned the whole house after car booting yesterday, and cleaned the hoover as well, so pleased with that.
    4. all washing is done, all ironing is done, so pleased with that.
    5. had a good sleep!!

    What I want to know where does all the 'stuff' come from that I keep finding to car boot / ebay, as I have been doing both for the last goodness knows how many years, and still it keeps coming!

    I set myself a target for 2012 of a total of £1000, from car booting / ebaying all the used old items, and I have far exceeded that by the end of July when I had a count up.! just proves another mans junk is anothers treasure.

    The cat got his own letter on Saturday, from the vets, inviting him to go for his annual check up / jabs, the cat is making his mind up when he would like to go!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Good luck to all the kids off to school for the 1st time / and or to new schools. Can I see the 1st day 'in my new school uniforms photos' for the ahhhhhhh factor.

    Off to sort out my office move / clean / find 2 large men to help me move 2 very large desks.

    Have a good week xx

    Breakfast and cuppa done with, so I've really got to make a move. 25 minutes before it's time to go, so I'll peg the bedding out, empty the DW and get ready. :D

    Lunch is already made and I just need to throw a few things in my bag.

    No idea what today will bring (first day in a brand new school - as in newly built).

    Have a good day, everyone.
