Hi everyone,

I haven't done this challenge before and I don't know how I'll get on. I work full-time and DS has footy training twice a week, which limits free time somewhat. (Excuses I know...) I'll have a go for this week, but can't guarantee that things will be done on the right days. :rolleyes: I'm up for the ebay challenge too. I have loads of things that I have put on one side to list but I never get round to it. This week I shall!

Tonight I need to iron school shirts for DS and something for work. That should take me to the 30 mins. Have just realised I haven't washed his school jumper yet so I'll put that on now. It will be dry overnight, hopefully. He was at his dad's this weekend and I went away with OH so I haven't been around to do much washing.

Right, off to sort things out. The house is a tip and it is getting me down.

tinsel we bought the ingredients (almost couldn't find any maltesers :eek: last 2 boxes on the shelf) when we got back kids had lunch and then wanted to play on the back garden. So not made today saving it for after school tomorrow. I know if I make it when they are out it will all be scoffed as well before 3pm!!!

Right Mum is back from her hols and altough the house looks good it was by no means perfect.

I can't really do the house work challenge, Mum does all that "her way" and I stay out of it - which is fine really I pay rent and cook dinner once a week, I might carry on shining the sink tho its a habit now(embarrassingly)

BUT I do want to do the e bay thing! cos I am suffocating under bin liners and plastic boxes of stuff whilst decorating my room. should have cleared it out first but hey you live and learn.

I think eventually I will have my own daily lists built around my room and work and studies. I may not have a kitchen to clean but my room is a tip!

and thanks Spoz for the link that will help LOADS!

I've been thinking about ebaying all my miniboden clothes in the loft- do you think they will sell? I've never sold before on ebay only bought - Do you use pay pal for sellign and waht sort of accoutn is best.
I could get them down sort and wash them first I guess. How do you wrap items like clothes for posting and what postage do you charge? DH now has digital camera so its definately possible.

Banana oat cake is good and quite "banana-ery"
off to do 4 packed lunches

mini boden sells REALLY well.. definitely worth listing those!!
