Cool Pigpen, I do have 5 items in my ebay box.

so, just uploading, not listing. Got it.

Borderlakland, thank you very much.

The baskets were free! well, sort of. 3 for £14.99 in argos and then its buy on get one free, so 6 for £14.99. Now, a few weeks ago we got a family fund card for bedroom furniture from argos. One of the items was damaged, so I called up, decided that I could fix it (you can't see it anyway) and I got £15.00 worth of vouchers! Lol!

PS, No need to kick me, my kitchen is now clean and sparkling! or as clean and sparkling as its ever likely to get until the day we move out this house, or the kids grow up and move out.

On to ebay items!

Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. wash any that need washing in preparation for cold weather!! See if there are any that don't fit, past their best or just plain uncomfy which could leave the house! Definetly need to do this as I'm sure I have some which I could use as my ebay listing.
Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks:

• Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper.
• Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
• Clean a window or two.

Good evening everyone,

Phew! I'm struggling to keep up - and that is just with all the messages; never mind the flying!

I'm on about level 1 and a half at the moment. I cleaned and mopped the kitchen floor, hoovered the dining room floor and have cleaned all the kitchen surfaces. I'm going to have to stay on top of stuff though as we've got people staying on Thursday and Sunday (same people travelling to and from York). My parents only just left this morning - so I'm frantically laundering bed sheets etc for the spare room. Sometimes I think I should just have done with it and run a B&B!

Welcome to PurplePrincess. M.E. ChasingButterflies and all the other newbies.

Pigpen - enjoy the flowers from your hubby, and I hope you've managed to avoid strangling all the kids!

Tiamai - those baskets look great. I'm seriously inspired.

Sproggi - I am sooooo jealous about your piggies. I've got three hens, but hubby has drawn the line at anything else. (Next on my list would be bees, then pigs!) If you get a chance to take a photo of your new piggies I'd love to see it.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Right I'd better dry my hair and get organised for the morning. Take care everyone.

Hi Borderlakland,

They are most deffinatly going to be pets

Yes it was me talking about mini pigs (although they can grow to 3ft tall), they are called kunekune pigs and are one of the most friendly (and sadley still quite rare) breeds.

They can be taught to do all sorts of tricks when food is concerned (bit like DS1), but I just adore them whatever they do.

No names yet, although we did joke about Streaky, Smokey and Bacon :eek:

Mum turned up out of the blue and asked if I wanted to go for a ride with her and my sis, I knew something was up.
When we got there, I was supposed to choose 2, 1 for my birthday prezzy (Nov) and one for Christmas, but how could I leave 1 behind

Bit of persuasion from me and sis and I now also have next years birthday prezzie:D

All 3 are boys (castrated, no jokes about pork balls please!) and are adorable:j

The woman said that we could just turn up any time we want to go and see them until we can move them and I intend to make the mosr of that offer

I am so lucky as they were the last 3 pure breds listed in Norfolk and I GOT THEM:j :j

Sorry to go on, I promise not to let house slip:o
