    Take it easy this evening - you sound as though you have had the stuffing knocked out of you in some way!

    I know what you mean when you say you don't even have the energy to reply to posts, I had a few days like that recently but you WILL get through them, and your energy will return. (when you work out how, please let me know :o )

    Doh, just typed a post in reply but it has wiped and the "back" button which normally ressurects it didn't work either!!

    You sound as though you have had the stuffing knocked out of you. Take things easy this evening and don't worry or fret about anything else. If you don't have the energy, you don't have the energy. Relax and have an early night and be refreshed for tomorrow x

    :D

    Thanks Hypno :)

    Am going to gather everything together tonight and then it might not seem like such a daunting task. If I just have it next to the computer it will be easier when I do feel like listing!

    Had that power nap yesterday and then had a really good nights sleep and feel soooo much better today! I really don't function on too little sleep!

    So, been out and about - musical minis this morning and a bit of kitchen clearance so far. Now I really need to get cracking with all the other stuff! My aims for today are:

    [strike] *collect all ebay stuff together[/strike]
    [strike] *Tidy kitchen completely - sweep the floor too.[/strike]
    [strike] *Tidy sitting room - a pigsty! [/strike]
    *Write menu plan and shopping list for the next week and a bit.
    [strike] *Filing[/strike]
    *Attempt to turbo list some of the ebay stuff - will try to do this in bits.
    *Text friend and decline invite out tomorrow night - just can't face more booze, spending and no sleep!
    *Post some letters and parcels - ah no, just realised, PO strike isn't there. Darn.
    *Put away clothes.
    *Load of washing & dry it - line dry if sunny.
    *Change DD's bed clothes & Ds too
    *Shopping - Tescos. STICK TO LIST!! :)

    Think that's enough, but if I do anything more I'll post it - find it really motivating and also makes me feel better of course! I've updated sig again, feels good that I'm under £36,000 :D My xmas aim is to get it under £30,000. Will I do it??? I think just about, if I really go for it!

    [strike] *Shopping - Tescos. STICK TO LIST!! :)[/strike] Spent a fortune, but actually managed to get quite a bit - used tokens to get over £8 off and also points ccoupons so got a few of those. Found 60p on the floor too :) However, on scanning all my shopping at home I found out that she's scanned fish fingers twice, so lost out on £1.68 there, as can hardly go back now! Got baby millk, lots of nappies, and enough food for my menu plan to last 10 days :) Also got 2 boxes to sort out the sitting room - kids toys. Oh, but the sweetcorn (BOGOF) didn't scan, or she didn't scan it so that was £1.79 free :)

    Need to do the rest on the list now.

    HI all

    A good day so far for MSE - one of my tesco vouchers is selling on Ebay and this has given me some much need motivation to list more stuff - pics done, will now start turbo listing :) Need to get the motorbike exhausts in from the boot, photo them and then email to my best friends husband who can tell me what they are lol!!

    Intend to try to get things i didn't finish yesterday done and stick to the menu plan - potatoes are on the boil for the sauteed pots for Brunch. Will not kill OH who is languishing in bed with a hangover after goingout last night at 5.30 (was going to be back at 10 - yeah right - rolled in at 2am waking me and DS in the process - grrrrrrrrr).

    Hey Sea,

    Wow just finished reading (yes, all 11 pages, oh my social life is so exciting lol!! - still reading MSE seems to be one of the few things I can do on a Sat night that don't make me want to go out!!) and just wanted to say, congratulations on being so focused and determined. You sound much more organised than me!!

    Oh and try to ignore the OH as best you can ... or if you can't, try loud music and banging around, if he's gonna wake u up then wake him :rotfl:

    No erm seriously, hope you're doing OK xx
