Back from school. DS2 did not want to go this morning, probably overheard me and DP saying we're going over the new house, tried every trick from pushing the lens out of his glasses to pretending he had a cough, then a bad foot, then forgot which foot it was :rotfl: limping on the wrong one.

Made myself vacuum living room (inc under sofas) before I switched the laptop on. Kettles on! Going to get DP up in a mo, well try to.

Thanks Lil_me need to relist a pile of things.
Hopeing BIL will be up this week-end with my hard drive so i can put more stuff on ebay.

pigpen

Thanks for that Lil_me.. it just adds a bit more work to my list lol.. I have a binbag of my sisters stuff to list which I've had for a while, but I also have a couple of stacking boxes and 2 holdalls of my stuff which I've not listed as well.. best charge the camera and find a clear bit of floor.

FrankieM

OK, I'm back...I've done the utility room, wiped over WM and TD, tidied away the stuff my darling husband got out and then couldn't find the energy to put away!
Have done the kitchen except, cleaning the bin, the sink and the window sill near the sink. Just waiting for the saucepans to dry and then I'll get that done...having a coffee while I wait.
I guess Thursday will be the day I bite the bullet and list my ebay things. Could certainly do with the extra cash...
Oh, just remembered, I've got to put a chicken in the slow cooker and do a crumble topping....there goes my clean tidy kitchen!

pigpen

I've got both WM's on filled with the new bedding.. the TD on.. and a pile to hang out in a mo.. just parcelling up a few more ebay bits.

It seems hubby has left out the ironing board.. probably so I iron everything else.. but I am shattered.. I wonder if I can get Tiddles in bed and have a snooze earlier rather than later and come back to this list.. hhhmmm

I've got a chicken to SC as well.. I'll do that next.. thanks for the reminder!!

I'm trying to sort out ebay stuff as well :rolleyes: 5 items sold, so thats good but I spent 30 minutes trying to get the damn printer to work :mad: Just sorted all the boxes of stuff out - 1 to relist (final time), 1 with OH's stuff in which I'll sort out and another boxful to photograph & list :rolleyes: Also found a carrierbags worth of old uniform which I'll take into school tomorrow before my governors meeting.

Right, should really get on with the parcelling up and get to the post office shouldn't I :wave:
