    Kitchen sides wiped, floor swept and mopped. Bin doesn't need emptying. Hob wiped down. Cutlery drawer is already clean and tidy :). DH ate the frog by second coating the woodwork in our room.
    Have put some items aside which need to be returned to their homes (not mine :) ).
    Me time now as I'm watching the choir. Think he needs to shave though ;)!

    ETA: Took me all day yesterday to get the sofa dyeing done. All covers are now back on and look so so much better. Happy bunny here, it looks new again and only cost £14.50 including the salt!

  • Hi all :wave:

    Bossy lovely to see you posting, big hugs hun x
    madcatgirl congratulations on DS
    ionafan well done on your fantastic weight loss

    Thank you for the lists this week Dusty

    Spent the weekend painting the hall, stair well and landing, my arms are a bit achy but it's part of my grand moving plan. Just need to wallpaper 2 walls & borrow a ladder or 2 to complete the stair well (my arms were just too short :o )

    Dusty Can you put my November challenge as getting the house prepared for selling. These will involve a declutter of the sun room, shed and spare rooms. It will also include repainting the shower room, putting a new floor in the shower room, re-wallpapering the bathroom, painting the bathroom ceiling and fitting a new light fitting in there.

    Flying wise:

    Eaten frog - swapped girl kitty's flea treatment for the correct weight
    Kitchen, hallway & LR hettyed
    Table cleared of gibble
    Items of rubbish removed from worktops
    Surfaces wiped
    Shoes polished
    Rang sis-in-law to see if she wants 2 items of furniture (one item she has really admired) she's going to think about it and let me know. If not on gumtee or faceache selling page they shall go.


    Have a great week all

    Congrats madcatgirl x

    I'm in but mostly doing dailies in 2 houses, mother sitting and hospital visiting.

    I have nearly just had a tantrum. With all I have been doing I have just found a sink full of pots and everyone else has gone to bed.

    My DF had a heart scan today. Quick results say he needs a stent or replacement valve. He will get more detailed results tomorrow. I think if it goes on long term I think I may have to get help.

    November Challenge

    Who's up for a month of decluttering, ebaying, donating and general making space (and hopefully some spare cash) before those presents arrive?

    Pledge now how much space you will have cleared before Advent starts.


    I'm up for this.........really need to sort the spare room out xx, Thanks xx
  • I'm up for the November challenge as well. Even though I decluttered like a demon before we moved, we seem to have accumulated loads more stuff somehow. I need to declutter my paperwork and the baby's room as well as my clothes.
