    Thanks for the list Dusty, I'm in this week :D Now don't all faint in shock as I am actually going to be following the lists this week. But only because Polkadot said she was going to be doing them with me, and we were going to prod each other now and again to do stuff.

    Oooh and I have a list with my birthday date on it...hehehehe. How special do I feel... :p

    Thanks Dusty - though I may be doing more from my own lists than yours again this week. With the OJM here, doing odd jobs all over the house, it's going to be difficult to do any cleaning! But I shall fly from my own lists anyway and try to eat a few more frogs as the week progresses.

    And thank you Natty for last week's list. I did manage some of it in the end.

    We were out all morning and then went out to lunch, so I didn't really get going until 5 pm today, but I now have 26 items listed on eB@y and two of them have got bids already :)
    7 people are watching another of DH's model railway items, and I only put it up about an hour ago :D

    Welcome home to Mr Kazmeister!

    Welcome to all Newbies: we are a friendly bunch, and as pigpen says, we don't stress out over flying. Other things, maybe, but not flying....

    Rowan Tree, belated birthday greetings for last week.

    Valli, I am seriously jealous about your seeing an owl. We hear them all the time, calling in the woods, but I've never spotted one.

    Narc0lepsy, a tweet from my sparrowhawk to yours!

    Off to get supper now - we missed out tea because of the big lunch.

    I'm curious to see the Master list (I was reading here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=47195367&postcount=2 ) but the link to the master list doesn't seem to work!

    My flylady bit for today was a trip to the tip with OH as we've just moved into our new home and the black bin was half full, so our rubbish has just been piling up! We had to empty the bin and take out anything that could be recycled and it all went, along with the rubbish at the bottom of the garden (car mats, plastic cage, etc). We are waiting for our delivery of recycling bins and food box from the council but I think they said it will take up to 2 weeks (and I phoned them on Thursday!!).

  • Thanks for the thread Dusty.

    I haven't been around for ages but would like to rejoin this week. We're getting our flat ready for viewings so have to stay on top of the bits we've cleaned!
    I will try the 60 in 60 tomorrow but have done a lot of decluttering this weekend so we'll see how it goes!
