I've barely done any flying today. The kitchen is lovely, though. I have been listing on ebay, but I've only done 25 items. I have a couple of other things, but my camera phone isn't taking very good photos of them. Might have to wait till DH gets home. He might be able to do better.
So thats all the stuff I've found so far...I should probably look for more....I don't wanna!
OK, I'm going to give myself 20 mins to go through a drawer or 2 in my bedroom and see if I can find some more things to list.....
See you laters

Something like that, or something in Dutch, muttered under my breath.

And to her: I will make you a toastie darling, if you get your feet off my table and take your stuff upstairs first... I am so cruel.. negotiation they call it, don't they??

Well I have a lovely kitchen, living room and bathroom. All done and kept up too. Bedrooms are a tip though. I skipped yesterday just managed to do the bare minimin routines. I was doing my third ever nightshift and it really did me in. I was so tired at 8.30am when i finally slept and slept until 2pm. Woke up with a migraine at 3pm I was sick and then felt a little better but took it really easy for the rest of the day.

On the nightshift again tonight so wish me luck. I'll see how it goes again tomorrow. The bedrooms can stay messy a few more days.:o

As flylady says you are never behind.

You are such a productive lot. All the cooking a baking you do is inspirational. I must admit that sometimes I avoid cooking to keep the kitchen clean, guess that's the perfectionist in me.:rolleyes: Well done on all the ebaying too must admit I keep procrastinating over listing.

DS2 in the house 2 minutes and he is fighting with DS3. Not listing any more things - nowhere near as fast/organised as you lot as I have only done 10 but I am new to it and I said I would do 5 a week so that is fab for me.

Doing tea, washing to get in, cake to make and bathroom whilst DS3 is in the bathroom. Have also tidied some of the living room with him. I can see a lot more items due for my ebay box once it is empty a bit.

Post box outside our house tape up with a sign saying take stuff to the post office don't use the box due to stike

I've found more things to list, not many more, but its good news. I'll need to sort my bedroom drawers out properly next week, but I'm pretty sure theres nothing in there that shouldn't be.
Have just put children's tea on. Doing pasta beans and cheese tonight...nice and easy, then might make some custard for pudding. I have loads of custard powder and its good to fill them up. Only 3 to feed. DD3 can have toast again. Hopefully she can go back to school tomorrow. I'm getting nothing done with her at home!
I'm going to clean the bathroom while kinders eat dinner, the sort my washing out afterwards.
Can we have tomorrow's list earlier rather than later...I was thinking I could get my children to make a start before bed time....but if not thats ok..

Hiya
Can't remember if I posted to say i'd done the bathroom. Think my mind is going. Fed the children, cleaned the bathroom, helped DD sort some more of her junk - I mean treasured belongings - out, sorted hotspot in the kitchen, done washing load and waiting to take it out of dryer after 10 minutes so it doesn't need ironing.

Going to sort the shoes out in the porch and play the piano for ten mins whilst children finish tea. Unbelievably tired today. I really need to get to bed at a reasonable time tonight.
