ShirleyPark-where did you say you took those photos, somewhere near Winchester was it? They are wonderful!

Between Winchester and Basingstoke, Micheldever Wood

Am going back there next week to take some more photos, just hoping that the bluebells last that long, especially as I didn't manage to get any photos of the woods themselves which really isn't like me

Okay it's my bedtime now - I'm shattered! Not only have I decluttered the entire house (and OH only reclaimed about 7 items, mainly videos of DD's he likes :rolleyes: ) and I've spent the night photographing them. Tomorrow the photos need to be edited and then uploaded with titles for items on ebay, I'll try to get descriptions up as well but at least I should be able to claim the half-price listing fees Thank you very much Pigpen for that hint! :money: I'll post a picture of my ebay pile tomorrow...I don't think you'll believe it! :rotfl:

Right, time to update my list from today:

• Dailies
  • [STRIKE]WM [/STRIKE]
  • WATER GARDEN - This evenings job when it's all in the shade.
  • [STRIKE]Uniforms for tomorrow[/STRIKE]
  • [STRIKE]Evening Meal[/STRIKE]
• Ironing
• Ebay listings of my stuff, still need to go through the other things with OH
• Make beds up again.

Right, time to grab a drink or something to eat as my stomach is growling, tidy up the livingroom that looks like a charity shop at the minute, then make up our bed and time for me to sleep :rolleyes: Night Night all :wave:

Hello again everyone
I'm flagging now, and am thinking of taking it a bit easier tomorrow as I've been flapping my wings so hard with all this housework that they are aching with the effort of it all! I also want to go shopping (postponed from earlier in the week because LO has been poorly) and just to spend a bit of time with DD2 whose playschool is closed in the morning because of the elections. Anyway, I've amended the lists as you'll see below.

The rooms listed are complete contrasts for me. The bathroom (and ensuite) look pretty fab and won't take half an hour to do all the jobs in these rooms, so that's nice and easy.

I can't do the study as per the list because it's too dreadful, but my aim for tomorrow is to spend two lots of fifteen minutes sorting more of it out.

Level One
Clean toilet and sink
Level Two
Clear clutter from floor in bathroom and ensuite easy peasy, there isn't any:j
Clean bath and shower cubicle
Clean floors in bathroom and ensuite
Wipe keyboard and mouse (these usually have more germs on than your toilet so important)
Level Three
Wipe down tiles in bathroom
Clean windows

Spend 2 x 15 minutes in my disaster area (I mean study) sorting stuff out

Dailies
Make beds
School run (x2)
Shopping for birthday pressie
S+S kitchen and downstairs toilet
1 load washing
Paperwork (didn't do it tonight, too darned tired and would just get it wrong and need to do it again)
2 old toner cartridges to send back to manufacturer to take to the post office
Supper to cook - we are having shepherd's pie
Breadmaker on

Right, that's still quite a long list but I think it's manageable if I go and do the sandwiches for DD1 now and then carry my tired wings to bed.

Happy flying to everyone for tomorrow and great that lots of us have managed to do a fair bit today.

Hugs to Shell and anyone else who needs one! People eh? True friends who stick with you are thin on the ground I think, and I wonder if people realise how hurtful they can be sometimes. Anyway, big hugs to you!

Maralum - I really hope that baby decides to put in an appearance soon.

Lil_me - How is puppy doing?

Hello to new people - I only showed my face last week, but this is a great motivational thread and everyone is very encouraging. My OH has noticed that the house is looking muc better, although he will insist on leaving stuff out, and he even washed his hands in my lovely shiny kitchen sink the other day the moment I'd finished shining it for the night!:mad:

The brain is still in a bit of a whirr, so i was just updating my calendar and to-do lists, and watching a programme about hoarders on Channel 4. I'm glad my clutter isn't that bad. One guy had over 5000 bikes in bits in his house and garden. :eek: Now, 5000 items of baby clothes and you probably have me, but i will be motivated to get it packed away, particularly as baby has been so good all week, and it is just me that is letting the side down. :rolleyes: Feeling under the weather only covers part of it, and i need to get off my a$$ tomorrow.
