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)
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.0 -

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.
