    Evening all. Going to try harder with the flying this week.

    Sorting is going really well - the garage is now finally finshed - so pleased.

    Ebay I am getting the hang of. My item has sold for a really great price so delighted and I have uploaded 6 items for this coming week, sorted 7 more to list for the next week.

    I think there is a postal strike from Thursday this week for approx 6 days with weekends so anybody needing to post ebay or birthday stuff it may all take time.

    Need to iron some uniform now and sew a name tag on DS1 new football top.

    Michelle hope you enoyed you day and feel better today
    Serena hugs to you
    Becca I am so impressed with your quitting the fags
    Newbies and lurkers welcome and good luck
    Shirley so pleased the house is now all yours

    Hope to pop back later x

    The postal strike is from lunch time Thursday to the following Thursday.. they are calling it 2 x 48 hours strikes because they only do half days on Saturdays and don't work Sundays.. but it is a week in all.

    So many newbies and returnees - welcome all :)

    Kids still have another week off school, but I'm going to try and get into work a wee bit more this week - still trying to figure out how I can start work a little bit later so I can get a bit more done around the house before I go . . .





    Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clean floors - SWEPT
    Level Two
    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces DONE
    Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there! DONE

    Deep Clean Challenge
    Get in that food cupboard. Give it all GOOD scrub out before placing the things you need to use soon at the front. Check dates and freshness on older things, and See if you can incorporate these into next weeks meal plan! Feel free to get carried away and do more cupboards!!! I really need this one - might do one shelf each day if I can't get it all done today.
