ChasingButterflies

Thanks for the words of encouragement!!! I guess I just always feel like I am chasing my tail... anyway lounge floor cleared and just about all hoovered.

Long story but so that our eldest could have her bedroom downstairs (where the other 2 have their rooms) I thought it would be a good idea so in the end turned the old lounge into dining room, old dining room into bedroom for eldest, eldests old bedroom into the playroom and the old playroom into the lounge - wow that probably only makes sense to me :rotfl: The upshot is that all of these rooms are/ have gone through a declutter however there are still lots of miscellanous items all over the place... I will get there, I will get there...

Ok I need to get a wriggle on - need to go pick kids car seats up from OH work as he forgot to take them out of his car on friday when it went in for a service... he does the am school run so has to take them out of my car... Tuesday's are manic once I get kids home need to get all their homework done, feed them (quick meal - macaroni - thankfully their favorite!) then get eldest ready for dance class so that OH can take her when he gets in from work. Once they are gone I will sweep and mop hall - then pop the youngest 2 in the shower... ok that is the plan...

Borderlakland - exactly the same thing happened to me - so annoying :mad:

torianut - once you download it there is a setup icon on your desktop - did you run setup?

torianut

didn't have icon so ran a search and found it - sure it's quicker just listing how i used to do it!! will give it a chance this week though!

thanks for the help xx

Oh I am sorry.... honest. I have sat at the PC and done nothing except mess on blogthings doing all these stupid tests.

But I don't feel bad about it. This is supposed to be time for myself, thats the whole point of DS2 being at nursery a year early...

uhm... honest... there is no point in doing anything now anyway! :coffee:

torianut

forgot to add - just cleared a kitchen cupboard and cleaned microwave (forgot it yestday)!

flinging some old pans out - going to do a cupboard a day this week and hpefully clear some clutter!

Hello all, first time I've been on here since last night and had 3 pages to wade through! So hugs, welcomes, well dones and stick with it.

Been to Asda and got bits we need and did Grans shopping and then delivered it to her and unpacked. Stopped an hour with her and then visited my Dad for an hour as he gets lonely and made him some lunch. So am all chatted and cuppa'ed out but a nice, easy morning. DS is tired and in bed, should get another hour to myself so need to crack on.

Have cheated a bit with the list as up to date on a few bits.

MY LOO IS PAINTED!!! It will need another coat or 2 but WOW!! what a difference already.. just going to have a cuppa then I need to get Tiddles out of bed to go get the other 4 from school... ONE job down!!!

Toria.. once you get running on turbolister it is much quicker.. you can duplicate listings and just change the relevant details which is brilliant if you have 12 items all the same size just change picture and description.. you don't have to wait for pictures up upload one at a time either.. I can't list straight onto ebay because the uploading pics just freezes.. weird!!

Cuppa anyone??
