    Really tired, got DH to try on work trousers and we now have a really comfy pile,and a pile to diet into! 3 in each pile. DH was convinced he needed new jeans as an emergency.To be fair he is thrilled to bits.

    Good day, but am tired with going up and downstairs all day and kneeling.

    Shower and early night.
  • Well a very busy day!

    Quick Hoover round of lounge and stairs whilst waiting for kids to get ready to go out.

    Washing x 3 loads

    Walk to the park with the dog and kids. That was an experience as it was really slippy underfoot!

    On return have spent most of the day taking pics of items to put on fb selling pages. Mainly clothes that kids have outgrown.

    Put kids beds back together as bunks to give them more room in bedroom. Let's hope that means they are less messy elsewhere in the house.

    Food wise was a mix of leftover and items out of freezer for lunch and tea today.

    Sold £8 worth if items on fb. Have an enquiry in another item as well.

    Spent £2 on newspapers and that's it spend wise today. Haven't even been out in the car so that means no petrol used either.

    Just need to sort out photo albums on fb as there is so much in them they need rearranging so people can see what they we buying.

    When cleaning the bathroom realised we had four bottles of shampoo out so put three back so they don't get wasted. Not sure how that happened!

    Whilst something through clothes youngest dd wanted to help with ironing. She said she likes ironing strange child:rotfl: have thrown some items of clothes out that had slight marks and tiny hoe,s in so de cluttered around 8 items there :)

    Glad to go to work for a break tomorrow!
