Evening all and Morning Denise

Finished my ebay and really pleased that I can now do it thanks Pigpen for starting the challenge, it really got me started; hope the school visit was ok.

Right early night now for me as I feel a bit grotty again. DS1 said he did not feel good at bedtime then I spoke to his friends Mum on the phone and he does not feel well either.

No school uniform for mine tomorrow DS3 in jeans (PJs today) and DS1 and 2 in civies as it is the school fun run.

Sleep tight, hope to those who need it and hugs to those who want one x

Are we not having a weekend list again this week?

I've just finished ebay. Managed to list 40 items in the end. No idea how it'll go, but it feels positive to have done it. Lets hope I make some money!
Sent children upstairs to tidy their rooms before bed and asked DD2 to tidy out one of the boxes underneath her bed. She hates doing that kind of thing.
DS1 overheard and offered to help cause his room is very clutter free and usually quite tidy.
In the end DS1 did the boxes under DD2's bed and the toybox. It looks great. So tomorrow I just have to do DD3's boxes and tidy out their wardrobe.

Off to wash up, set the dishwasher, have a shower and try to entice my DH to bed.
See you in the morning..

I'm back..

Scaredy.. glad to be of service..I put off toy sorting until they take over the house.. you have my sympathy!!

Dusty.. glad you got ebay conquered! pennies for christmas!!

Becky... I bet my 2 girlies could show you more fleas in one go.. they are usually hopping!! I spent 6 hours de-fleaing children on Monday only for them to come home with more in Tuesday despite still having the lotion on!! I could have cried!!!

The high school was great.. it is the one hubby & I went to and DD1 is at already so she will easily get in.. she really liked it too which was really nice.

I managed 71 bits on ebay.. plus 8 of my sisters relisted.

We are looking at getting £500 back from the boiler being fitted.. which I'll pay off another debt.. possibly the student loan..

I need to get todays list done tomorrow seeing as I didn't do any of it.. cos I am LAZY!!! I did wipe the worksurfaces in the kitchen though.

Oh... and my sister.. Anthea Turner.. came round earlier and asked if I had been cleaning.. FINALLY someone notices the hosue is tidier!!!! .. She also sampled my pickled onions, requested a jar full and took home a pair of my old trainers for work!! I do love her but she is such a Mrs Mop it drives me mad.. she comes round and wants my house to look like hers when there is her and BIL and no children and me, hubby and 8 children she expects no mess... Lord help her when she has children!!!!!
