    Hey everyone :)

    Hope you are all well.

    I've got a week off after today. Can't wait! Little jwil will be staying in nursery a couple of days so I can crack on at home.

    I made a bit of a start yesterday and cleared the middle room so we could move all of his toys out of the front room. It makes the front room look much less messy (note: not tidy!!) and more importantly gives him more room to play.

    Dh told me it annoys him when I keep changing things :mad: I told him it annoys me when he doesn't change anything :D He did admit that it would be helpful to have more space for sorting things.

    I've been really trying to keep up with the smaller jobs, and trying to tackle some more little things that I never get round to. For example. There's a piece of paintwork in our house that has always looked awful. It looked really scratched and rough. I've never done anything with it. The other day I wiped it with a damp cloth as I was passing, and the marks came off! It was not rough paintwork, it was absolutely filthy _pale_ So I am now on a mission to do the deep clean that I never managed to do when we moved in as the house was so full up!

    It's actually a big step to have been able to move little jwil's toys into the middle room. It does mean the extension's full again, but that is something else I want to tackle next week.

    I also want to finish going through my wardrobe which I started ages ago. I'm going to be ruthless with my stuff and find more things to ebay I think. I need the money more than the stuff, and there is very little that I own that I couldn't buy back again if I really missed it. Obviously sentimental things will stay.

    We do plan to go out for a couple of days as well, so that should be nice.

    I hope everyone is well!

    Managed to list 4 items this morning. When is there going to be another FLW? :mad: I really want to get some stuff relisted.

    We've been to a nearly new sale today and got little jwil two t-shirts and a coat for the grand total of £4. He's now having a nap so I ought to be getting stuff done. I'm feeling a bit rubbish though as he was up lots last night and went through gallons of milk! Maybe he's having a growth spurt. So I'm shattered and have a stinking headache.

    Sold 6 items last night :T But can't pay anything til Monday, but will more than likely wait until after the week off.

    Lovely hubby gave me some perfume today bless him. We don't normally exchange gifts, (we do cards) but he said he'd seen an empty perfume box in the recycling so thought I'd run out. It's not one I've ever bought, but smells lovely so he's done good. Especially as he NEVER buys me a surprise, it's always something he knows I want!

    Have a good weekend everyone.

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I've managed to get a few bits listed today. Have also identified some new bits to add which I need to sort out and photo and get listed.

    We went to a couple of car boots this morning. Didn't buy much, but did get little jwil a nice toy garage for £1. He has been playing with it all afternoon so that is a great bargain!

    I've been feeling a bit grotty for the last few days, hoping it goes soon so I can get on with things.

    I've done a few surveys and sorted out some paperwork.

    Going to have a break now

    Thanks penny :)

    I've had a busy couple of days, been sorting out and tidying stuff up. We had a lovely day out yesterday in the sunshine.

    Today DH has gone out and little jwil is in nursery so I'm trying to get on. I find it so hard to be productive when DH is around, I don't know why!

    I received the Marie Kondo book so I am looking forward to having a read and get some ideas.

    I'm currently listing some new bits on ebay. Hoping for some more sales soon.

    I have made a couple of small payments but nothing great.

    Hope everyone is well :)

    It's my last proper day off before going back to work on Monday. Little jwil is in nursery so am really trying to crack on with things. I haven't achieved as much as I'd hoped this week, but have made a little difference.

    I've almost finished the Marie Kondo book, and will try and put some parts into action. I now have spare shelves in my bedroom and have packed all of little jwil's clothes away into a spare chest of drawers.

    As I create space at the moment, it's being filled with something else. I will then revisit areas again and see what else I can do. I guess I'm focussing on discarding rather than organising everything. As everything reduces in quantity I shall see about organising things better.

    No payments have been made and sales are quite low at the moment which is a bit annoying. Rather than listing a lot of stuff, I'm trying to identify things to sell in future so I don't waste all my time on the computer.

    I've done a couple of surveys and have enough for a £10 amazon voucher from one site. I haven't redeemed it yet as I am almost at £15 so will probably wait to get a £15 one.

    Best crack on I suppose :)

    That's great jwil :T you're doing really well!
    I've managed to get rid of a few bulky items lately. Took some stuff to charity yesterday too. So I've made a bit more space - kind of. It's an area I use for stuff that's either waiting to go to charity or that is listed on the bay.
