    got washing to peg out and my duvet cover and some other bits in the WM

    Had a phone call from work at 8 - could I cover? Have turned it down as, at that point I hadn't even got up, never mind showered.
    Could have done with the cash but didn't want the mad rush to get ready and get there. Ho hum.

    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.

    Thanks, I have taken pictures on my phone so will watch out for a free listing week.

    I will join you at half past - it needs sorting as I have put Tr@velodge on the flexible friend for tonight ready for DD2 Uni Open Day tomorrow.

    Kitchen needs it big time DD3 put curry sauce over leftover pasta that was in fridge ...very good :money: as we are travelling straight after school and would have been lobbed otherwise, but kitchen now stinks!

    Will cross off the 15 minutes outside, DS and I spent time at the back door watching a little Robin hopping round the patio:)
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    My list is still very long! No done much flying this week so plan is to get that lot done before the weekend is out and then next week allocate one bedroom per day for a good sort out and deep clean - well that is the plan.

    Time for a quick HH before my friend arrives - kitchen looks good from this mornings efforts and the cat bedding is in the machine so hopefully will be on the line before I go.
