Kiwi is soooo cute Natty, proper little sweetheart!

Fizzwhizz well done to your DS, must be awful to have a fear like that.

Mumto5 I'd be lost without my maiden as sling everything on it; glad you've managed to get a replacement even though it's smaller.

Madammim2013 hope the cottage viewing goes well. SIL lives in one in a really rural location near Okehampton with a thatched roof and everything.

Been up in loft helping DS; he's working really hard on getting it insulated with the idea of it becoming an office for him at one end, play room for the kids at the other and tidy storage area in the middle. It'd involve putting in another staircase but would be great.

Off to wash up yesterday's dishes; lazy slob that I am

i havnet got a maiden, one is on my wish list for this year, i put stuff over the shower rail if it needs drying indoors.

Finally got home at 1845 (due in at 1630) Have been duly flattened by Ozzie. He is currently following me around the house. We're going to do an As** shop and I need to unpack. I'll count this as my flying in the bedroom today as there is nothing on the floor (other than dust)


Love the kitty natty

Can I ask your advice please. Is it worth going through all the palaver of taking photos and listing clothes on fleabay or should I just CS them? I'm not keen to do it if I'll only get say 99p an item and then Paypal take their fees. Any thoughts from you seasoned fleabayers??

I used it to get rid of some exercise equipment and some bundles of baby clothes, but this was before the whole postage increase thing. TBH I just CS now because it's out when I want it to go and I don't have the stress of a buyer saying it never arrived or wasn't right etc etc.

Oh hurrah! Well done dancegrandpops, hope the recovery continues!


Kitchen almost sorted after tea, but wanted kiddies away to bed, so haven't done the floor. MIL is taking the Xmas lights for FIL to fix, so they are out too, just leaving the duvet. It will go in the top of DD cupboard when her stuff is moved.

Tonight i want to get some brekki and lunch sorted for me - early start tomorrow. MIL is here to look after DS, he is sounding more gruff by the hour. He might have to go back to the docs later in the week I heard him from the kitchen earlier and he sounded like his dad (bit freaky!). But MIL said she'll take DD to nursery and look after DS so I'll get a good long paid stuff day in.

So I won't be online tomorrow. At least until the evening.

Sounds like you've had a very busy day, mrs mp

Now pick up an item (cloth in hand to remove the dust as you go;)) and ask youself:

Do you love it?
Do I use it?
Do you need it?

Take 3 large boxes or laundry baskets, anything which gets 3 yes votes goes in the to keep box. Anything which gets 3 No votes goes in the get rid of box. Now the tricky bit anything with some Yes votes you need to decide on whether you keep it or not. You can have a undecided box but try not to put too much in there (or you'll regret it later on in the week ) Try not to keep things just in case you may need them, because somebody gave it to you, because you feel you should love it.

The first 30 minutes is usually the most successful so get off to a good start and then have a break or your ability to make decisions will decrease.

That's genius

Thanks again Dusty and yes - I'm in!


which bedroom? 3 to choose from - it's so difficult!

Lol - IF I were to start with DS's I would have one clean room sharpish but a very tetchy son:rotfl:

I will have to defer this but I am going to add it to my frog list for the summer;)

I have dried washing, and ironed.
It's very 'peaceful'

I need to make book labels.

My day hasn't gone to plan at all. Got woken up by DD1 at 5.30 singing Happy Birthday to me and then by 6am DD2 was being sick in my bed

So had to take DD1 to school (my dad was looking after DD2 at home).
When i got home DD2 just wanted me to cuddle her and watch films so that is what my day has been like.
No flying done here besides 1 load of washing, DD2 just cried when i went to the bathroom or made a coffee.

Thank you for your birthday wishes.

Hopefully will get more done tomorrow if DD2 is better
