    Thank you Natty for this week's list and Dusty for last week's :T

    Count me in again - I have slackened off over the weekend and it's surprising (not!!!) how quickly things begin to go downhill. Hopefully we shall not need to have any more viewings now, but I want to keep DH in training for tidiness and decluttering, as we are downsizing and need to [STRIKE]get rid of[/STRIKE] re-home a lot more of our stuff before we move.

    Books, for example - my office has a whole set of shelves for specialist German/Engish dictionaries that I no longer need for work, and DH has a whole bookcase full of thrillers that he has read once and probably won't ever read again. His books will be gladly accepted by our local CS, but unfortunately the new postal rates make selling my big dictionaries much more difficult, and most of them are the type that booksellers can't shift. Has anybody got any ideas as to where I could pass them on to? I know I won't get much money for them, if at all, but I can't bear the thought of just binning them. I suppose Freecycle would be one option...

    Hope everyone has a good week, and that those of you with children at home for the holidays don't get too frazzled.

    Looking forward to the Flylady Meet on Thursday!

    Morning all

    I'm up usual time so in my favourite place with a cuppa and 3 mogs.

    Not much flying needs doing so I'm going to have a day off! I do want to

    Put a couple of bit on ebay if new postage rules make it worth while
    Have a look on ancestry - I think 1911 and 1901 census is free this Easter
    Sort my seeds and sow some

    Haha - I'd just been patronisingly reading out the children's list to my OH as his cleaning list :rotfl:

    I'm in this week and going to try hard not to fall off the wagon midweek. Thanks for the list Natty and thanks to Dusty for last week's lists.

    Today I'm up after a mini lie-in, a few fresh bits of snow here. My plan is to go suit shopping for groom and groomsmen suits this morning. Then flying. Then back to the shops to get a few of my own bridal bits and pieces. Then ironing.

    Have a good Monday everyone :)

    Seeds all sorted. Decided I'm sowing after lunch on the kitchen floor then I'll hoover and mop it.

    Off to see if DS2 will do an hour sorting and cleaning in his room with me then I'll look at ebay.

    Hi all

    Thanks for the lists this week Natty & Dusty for last weeks.

    House is looking fairly reasonable! *amazed smiley* even managed to cut the jungle (aka grass) which hadn't been cut for 6 months :o

    DW on clean cycle with dish drainer inside as it was minging!
    Sink has bleach solution to give it a good clean (it too was minging!)

    Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend
