    Hello ladies! :wave:

    just a quick pit stop really, but I've got a question about eBay :o I need to open a sellers account: Does it take forever and much messing about with bits of pennies going in your bank like a run of the mill paypal acc? Do I need to put money in it right away (I'm skint till Monday)? Ta muchly x Ignore people! I've just done it.

    Hello to new people :wave:

    Hugs for eveyone - I'm feeling all loved up today so you all get one just because :p (((((((((((((everyone)))))))))))

    Where's Rach?

    The only thing I've done on my list are stripped the bed and washed it, done nowt else as of yet, got pizzas in the oven for tea and just uploaded photos from the SD card in my camera (don't know where I've been but didn't know you could do that until an hour ago doh!) So now I can take pics of the stuff I want to flog yay :j

    Anyway, hope everyone's ok, gotta go and sort tea out now, laters xx
  • Evening busy bees,
    Lil_me, glad you've got your assignment sorted but what a bummer about the house, keeping everything crossed for you.
    Tinsel, hope you're not in too much pain today - those things are uncomfortable to say the least.
    AnW'smum, I'm out of the naughty corner for sure today!

    I had a half day as I had to fetch my Olds from the airport so I managed to strip the bed and get 2 washloads on the line, S&S the kitchen and general tidy up before I went for them. I've been out in the garden doing the last hedge trim of the year and filling the garden bin. I can't believe the difference in the temperature today, yesterday was freezing today is balmy. I've come to the conclusion I can't function below 17`C - better get my skates on (roller skates, not ice skates..).

    Off to finish what I started in the bedroom and I WILL do a clothes sort this evening.

    Catch you all later.

    Embb, Rach is in Spain the lucky woman!

    Hiya
    Well i've done todays chores. I'm just trying to decide whether to clear my wardrobe tonight or tomorrow. It's totally full but I only actually wear less than a quarter of it. Think I need to be ruthless. Think I might do it tomorrow as i'm shattered xx
    January budget
    Nothing left!

    Thanks for the good luck wishes, guessing I'm not going to find out today what is happening with it as it's a bit late now. Assignment gone so no looking back now, traffic was a bit of a pain and DS1 slept there and back, worrying me a little as he's been VERY tired lately not that I am moaning (he usually sleeps 6 hours a day max) his tea is in now, will have to get mine when DP gets back, god knows when that might be tried ringing him several times.

    LJD1 I would say in the morning, I much prefer clear outs on a morning. If you are shattered then definately in the morning. Might join you actually as I have one to sort through aswell.

    I think I'm going to say stuff the flying and studying tonight, absolutely shattered after the serious lack of sleep I just feel frazzled. Need to stay up until boys are in bed however so coffee anyone ?
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Level 1 1/2 in the bedroom. Didn't vacc or turn the matress as my arms were aching from hedge trimming! Forgot too that I washed and vacc'd my car before the airport run. It was the laughing stock of the works carpark 'cos it was covered in purple bird poo - it really looked like someone had emptied a jar of blackcurrant jam over the bonnet :rotfl:

    Quick supper and bath and shift some clothes before Heroes at 9.
    I may not be about 'til late tomorrow.. I think I have a date. Well I'm out at least, remains to be seen if it's a date!

    Have a good day tomorrow.
