Gosh pigpen....100 listings....thats loads, no wonder you make such a great profit. I don't know if I can manage that many, but if I plod through the stuff I've found so far and then look for more stuff , then who knows..

Good morning lovely flygirlies (and boys)
done airing cupboard yesterday!! yeah me! It didn't even take that long (Most towels were in the wash)
What a difference the dishwasher has made already. I don't have that much worktop space, so even when I was cooking, I was cleaning up after myself and putting stuff into the dishwasher.. Love it. Trying to put it on after 11pm so its cheaper electricity.
Bathroom today and pc area, that should be fun.. NOT
I am looking after my friends son today, so we probably all go out to the pictures. The weather is miserable today.
My aims for today are:
fold and put away all washing that has just came out of the dryer.
more washing, machine already on
hoover living room
start on DLA form (hate that stupid form, it makes me depressed)
keep kitchen sparkling (sorry kids, no eating or drinking anything today)
Night night Denize, have a good day everyone else :grouphug:
ok, computer clean up first, while I am here..0 -
Hi everyone, had a good day yesterday got abit done and sorted attic, found another 10 bin bags of clothes for ebay. Now need BIL to come back with hard drive and i'm all set.
DD got an invite to a birthday party for saturday (need to get a pressent).
Told DD about her getting a bedroom and she is so happy, we asked her what colour would she like it (us thinking she would say pink) she said she wanted rainbows and castles and princesses. I'm thinking stickers because i can't draw
,hubby looked abit worried.
Today have list to do and i start my IT course today, i'm so nervous. Plus have a dose of the cold and sore throat but just have to get on with it.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Anyone for a cuppa and a piece of apple pie ?(hubby made it and it's better than the one i made)
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0
