    I have been to work today. DD and I have been to see 'Before I Go To Sleep' as we loved the book.

    Oh! Had a look. Will keep an eye out! They all look fine at the moment. I am hoping with some warm weather they might ripen. If not I will have to pick them and try the banana thing!!

    Washed the living room windows this morning and had a tidy up and clean in ds 2's room. Only half way through though so nothing to cross off list. Had ds1s sports day this afternoon (it rained int the summer) and by the time we got back, hubby was back from work! Done a couple of jobs online that needed doing.
    Just need to keep on top of the house now. It looks quite presentable at the moment! but I'm sure by Monday it will be a tip again. Day out to London planned for tomorrow so won't get much done this weekend.

    Well I failed to remove the last bits of wallpaper from the kitchen. I was so tired after work, that I fell asleep when I got home! I've baked two lemon cakes instead. I'm doing an experiment, one has been baked with oil (as per the recipe) and the other without.

    DW on and emptied
    Kitchen s&s
    Baking bowls, cups etc washed up and put away

    Goodnight

    Well it is 7am (7:30 now I've faffed) and we are up, girls fed and I am exhausted.. I took a nasty headache to bed and it isn't much better thanks to naughty nocturnal girls!! Pixie is crashed in my bed with OH but the other 2 woke and started squabbling almost immediately... guess I will at least get some knitting done ;)

    I have some stuff I can list on ebeast too at least I can do it from the confines of my chair ;) I aim to get 10 things listed I think.. I have some PS3 games to sell, do they still sell on there or I am better off trading them in at Game??


    Second round of breakfast.. how do such little girls manage 2 or 3 bowls of breakfast??? Some days Squeak has had 7 Weetabix.. !!!

    Well wasn't woof that stopped me getting on with my list was DD1. Phone all from school to advise there had been an incident resulting in her having her wrist twisted. They were worried as despite icing it looked swollen and blue. Quick dash to collect her and off to minor injuries. Luckily not broken, pulled ligaments so was very painful bless her. 2nd day at secondary school so missed her first English lesson so she is stressing about that. She didn't see the boys face as he was behind her and then ran off, horrid little thug. Year head investigating but as it happen in open space in centre of school am hoping CCTV picked it up.

    So I did s&s bathroom & kitchen, Hoover through and HHI. Today will be a coffee swilling day I fear in order to get anything done.

    PIGPEN - I usually look at prices for trade in on game, then eBay and then come up with a price and list on local Facebook selling pages. Done quite well plus they collect so no fee's involved.

    Currently on phone so not read thread yet so hugs, well dones and positive vibes to them that need them x

    I can't cope with people coming to the house most days so I prefer to trade or post. I had one seller years ago threaten me with violence (beating and broken bones) while I was pregnant.. he was reported to the police and disappeared from ebeast pretty darn quick!! Thankfully it was all email correspondence so I could prove what he was threatening and had his address!! It was not even my item I sold, it was my sisters!! Anyway, I'm not wanting people here.

    Prices for trade-in checked.. its not worth the bother is it??? I'll throw them at ebay in a bundle and get rid hopefully.. :( So pleased I didn't pay £40+ each for them!

    OH and pixie up now... he can feed her and water us ;)
