    Well, as predicted my urge to carry on flying has died :( I received my text, went over and was there barely 10 minutes. Nothing was said but as they say actions speak louder than words :cry:

    I hadn't been keeping to the list but have got some jobs done -

    Emptied airers
    1 load in WM, 2nd load going on it 2 secs
    so 1st load will go in the TD
    Loaded DW
    Reboxed and put away lots of dvds, still more upstairs to do
    Put the last of the Halloween decs away
    Pulled out the two seater, swept and cleaned under it _pale_
    Cleaned the LR windows sills (was just going to start on the windows when I got the text)
    Dusted / cleaned the LR :eek:

    I'm trying to decide if to try listing some bits on ebay or if to take it all to a charity shop. I haven't put anything on ebay for years. What do you guys think??

    I'd check the completed listings column for whatever it is you want to sell before making your mind up.

    Wendy put them on ebay if they go great, if not to the charity shop in 10 days.

    Need to get some paperwork done next.

    Trip to Tesco.
    More clean washing put away
    Hall floor re washed (kids didn't take shoes off)

    DD1 has finally woken up. She's put some of her bits in the WM. she also managed to knock over the nearly two thirds full bottle of washing liquid. It's now a third full. Wail! It's so expensive! It was a 54 wash sized one.

    I NEED a cup of tea.

    Count every victory, there is no failure here :D:D:D

    The lists are suggestions only, don't feel you have to do everything on the list or on every level...the rooms come round again next week, so don't panic, it DOES gets a little bit easier every week.

    If you feel like you are having trouble getting started, put a message on here for some company for HHC (half hour cleaning) or something else.....you will be surprised who will join you, set your timer, get your kettle ready to boil for a cuppa, then promise yourself to come back on here after your HH, record your victories and enjoy your cuppa -

    Sometimes flying all day you forget what you have done, but you can do a lot in HH and if you take time to pat yourself on the back you may feel happier coming back and doing a bit more....

    big hugs
