    The Flylady Fleabay expertise has paid off! Thank you everyone who gave me advice - the four expensive lots have all sold, and the bits and pieces that are listed in one jumbled up lot have been automatically relisted. I like this game!
    Better is good enough.
  • Hi all - we're back! No probs going down on Friday re Knebworth or Grand Prix - but took 2 hours to get out of Lancs and then delayed further due to accident near Stafford! Never travelling down on a Friday lunchtime again. Set off back today at 1:40 so missed all the traffic and got home at 6. Had a productive and enjoyable weekend but have more huge lists to do tomorrow and the hall is full of "stuff" - again!!

    I have read back on the thread but it has gone in one eye and out of the other. So hugs to everyone needing them - well done to all those that have flown over the weekend and I'll catch up later tomorrow with you all.

    Evening,

    I've given the upstairs sinks and loos a going over while the littlies were in the bath. Did windowsills and shower tray too. Just need to do bath, shower screens, floors and tiles but might wait for bathroom day.

    My ironing is done and away but kids piles still need doing. DD has been told I will put the stair gate up if she doesn't stay in bed :o but then again she is coughing and sniffing like I don't know what :(

    Dappled sun coming in from the back, beautifully highlighting the layer of dust on my tv cabinet...

    DS has been good with putting his things away this afternoon, but I still have bits littering the LR windowsills. I will do a 15min rehoming after I've done the ironing.

    Might be a night for redoing my nails too, if it's not too late when I finish.

    Have an extra job to factor in this week, a pleasant one, cases to come down from loft and have a last look over what clothes we have for our hols, and double check DS feet. DD has just had new Lelly Kelli type pumps from @ldi for £8.99. I will start putting away bits of toilettries that we'll need too. Only particular things we like, as there are loads of spa-type shops where we are heading.

    Right, I've finished my jacket spud. Anyone up for a hhi?

    I've searched his car as he used to smoke to keep himself awake with all the travelling he does with work. No evidence discovered. I've looked at his receipts and can see no evidence. I think I am a bit paranoid.

    I am not paranoid. I am now devastated. Half an hour ago I was in floods of tears.

    So I worked my way through what I could tidied upstairs and downstairs, polished, hoovered and mopped all floors.

    De cluttered the playroom and my room got 2 bin bags for charity shop.

    Sorted DVDs and CDs.

    Cleaned kitchen.

    Feels good to have a fresh slate to start with after months of being snowed under, when the kids walked in after being out all day they were so impressed.

    Can't wait to wake up to no mess tomorrow, I'm watching a movie in my pjs to celebrate and reward myself.
