I spent the morning doing ebay stuff and then I went out in the back to do an hours worth of gardening...which turned into 2 hours :rolleyes: I was black when I got in from rubbing my face :rotfl: Got washed and went to the post office to dispatch parcels and then collected DD from school. NO other housework (except 1 wash load) has been done all day...so I best shift my bottom. I've decided to have a mad hour at 4pm - I'm going to get as much done at level 1 as possible

I've finished for tonight. Going to try to concentrate on ebay stuff. I can't get the turbolister to work. Its downloaded, but I can't get the application to open. I may have to reboot. DH forwarded me the ebay half price listing day email, saying to sell stuff....might try to sell some of his stuff and see if he notices.
Managed to squeeze a small nap in as well, only about 40 mins, but its better than nothing.
Right, going to give the turbolister another go....

embb I think we can safely say what some see as nicely decorated and clean others don't. The decorating being the worst bit, they seem to think it's great, you can see the red behind the white/cream they have painted on the walls, they've painted over light switches and holes in walls instead of filling them first, where a room is blue half the skirting board is too, also said 'the carpets have just been cleaned' well I will post a pic of these cleaned carpets when I take one, see what you lot think. The yuk that came out of the one I did, it was disgusting. Like I say I think other peoples standards are different, I'd like it the way I want it before we move in. We've got time, well sort of, thankfully.

Right off out for racing, see you all later

Lil_me I hope your landlady will be grateful. We were once (very reluctant)landlords due to negative equity- we had to move (DH relocated and we couldn't fit 3 chidlren in one bedroomed flat- 2 wasn't too bad). We had a fantastic tenant who re-decorated (we payed for the paint) so it sold quite quickly when we could (eventually)afford to sell it . We hated the whole process so we very grateful to her.
