    Morning all,
    I never got anything from the list done yesterday, still trying to get the hang of it. Although I did change bedding so that is one job already done for today, lol. My pile of ironing keeps getting bigger and I normally send it out but after reading this thread am thinking about having a go myself in the half hour chunks. Unlikely for today as have a lot to do in bedroom, I want to see a clear floor by end of the day.
    Happy Flying.
    Gail.

    How did you get on Penpen, Pigpen and Dancemum?

    I managed to take dry folded clothes upstairs, s+s the bathroom, grab the dirty washing, shut the bedroom window after airing, empty and refill washing machine, s+s the downstairs loo, wash, dry and put away dishes and s+s the kitchen.
    Another HHC at 11?????

    I have bagged up all my carefully squirrelled away packaging

    I have 2 bin bags of bubble wrap
    1 large carrier of tissue paper
    1 large carrier of jiffy envelopes, card envelope and similar
    1 large carrier bag of clear bags for wrapping garments/fabric
    1 bag of plastic mailers
    1 bag a polystyrene (?) wrap - slightly padded, thinner than bubble wrap
    small bag os polystyrene 'shapes'
    large carrier bag of air pillows

    I will relocate some to shed

    I have chucked away so much cardboard that a bod from the council has just been, having seen the recycling bin, and given me an extra bag for paper and card...:rotfl:so I have now emptied shredder and chucked out even more!

    I'm joining the 11 am frenzy :rotfl:

    Bedroom almost done - why does DH have hobby magazines in his bedside table dating back to 2004? They're now in a neat pile for him to [STRIKE]chuck out [/STRIKE]sort when he's home :D

    I'll carry on until 11:30 with you tooch, then coffee :j

    I need to rest a bit before moving again.. I am going to measure and pic the fabric stash shortly though.. I should be able to do most of that while sitting .. right now, I need food! .. rice krispies here I come.

    OH is taking Squeak swimming in a couple of hours so I'll have time for a slob in my chair then :D

    Back to my bedroom shuffling issue.. I have decided not to put the 2 tinies in the room between the 2 loos because 1 of the cots will be under the boiler and I have scared myself thinking what if it develops a leak and spill scalding water on one of them and also from that position they could reach the radiator and might burn themselves on that.. so.. DD2 wants the tiny room decorating so OH is taking her to B&Q to choose new paper/paint and we are doing that one weekend when they are at KH's. The next room will be done the week the girls go to KHs at easter.. and the 2 tinies can share the huge room with Tiddles until DD2 moves out (she is nearly 16 so I can't see it being long if I am honest, at which point we will reassess)
