    *Running to catch up with you, mrs-mp*

    Back porch is done and a couple of phonecalls have been made - now need to get this study tidy (I expect that will take me an hour) and the bulbs planted while the sun is shining.

    Ok DH is going to do stairs for me, and clear dining table & clean it (all the stuff from the fireplace & pictures, lights from main wall dumped on it as well as washing) :eek: LR is looking pretty bare anyway as decorating starting next week.

    A question for you ladies, I have 2 hand painted canvases that won't be going back up as they dont match my colour scheme, bought them a few years ago for £75 each, do you think its worth putting them on flea bay? I don't want to pay listing fees if its something that won't sell?

    Bossy – Hope you are ok, you must have got a scare
    Optimistic Mummy – Congratulations, hope you have a safe pregnancy.
    Fredula – Baby steps, I highly recommend joining in any HHC’s, its amazing what you can get done in 30 minutes running about mad!!!, If I am doing floors, bathrooms for example in that HHC, I have bathroom already sprayed with cleaner & steam cleaner/bucket & mop at the ready
    Dusty – Have a lovely day :bdaycake:

    ETA: - I was nosey so looked on my phone Optimistic-Mummy - defo a BFP!!!!

    Any way - stand down with the Barge Poles - I have phoned the docs and rescheduled the nurse appointment
    I have phoned the hairdressers; the Vallikids are going this afternoon after school. One will, apparently, need picking up from school as it takes almost an hour to walk home - :rotfl:even though it takes 20 minutes to get there (this would be the female child;))
    I have texted the kitchen fitter to thank him for sending the (very easy on the eye, shame I wasn't in;)) fitter to repair the dodgy hinge. As a bonus he sometimes pops up at work as they work there, too when needed (that's how I found them. There are two of us who drool over him there;)!)
    and I have made a start on the bathroom and have washed lots of pots already.

    I haven't managed to do anything since Monday - pain and exhaustion kicked in big time and I haven't even managed to get out of bed much before midday since then :(

    Hi MrsM - I joined you, but just for a HH! In that time I put away more 'things' to go the CS, cleaned surfaces where muddy-pawed cat had jumped, then cleaned kitchen and conservatory floors where the same cat had paddled the same muddy paws!! Little bu@@er is now fast sleep in the sun, while I'm grabbing a quick bite before work.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Dusty, yet another Aquarian, and many thanks for the nice wishes from you lovely fly ladies for mine the other day (sigh, I've just taken my cards down!). I hope you have a great day.:)

    Good luck and good health vibes to everyone, and I hope you've got the sunshine that's here - after the heavy rain through the night that washed away all the snow! Three types of weather in 24 hours!!

    Put them up on a free listing week, then you won't pay any listing fees, only final fees if they sell. Make sure to price them at the ££ you want for them.

    Happy birthday dusty xxx
