5 minutes sit down is needed - I've just sprayed the hall with demoulder and got a couple of lungs full NOT good. Plus my hands now stink of it even though I've just washed them :mad: Rain has gone off for now and the suns out but its still damp so I've decided to wait until DD comes in from school before I put the washing on, then I can wash her blouse and socks from today

Just cleared out the undersink cupboard and managed to re-arrange it enough to clear 1.5 drawers out of the chest of drawers in the livingroom :j I know that some of the remaining stuff can go under the stairs and the only thing I can't think of a new home for is the tablecloth & placemats & all the tupperwear - sooo I'm going to attack another cupboard in the kitchen (think I might make it the top two crockery/glasses ones ) and see whether I can rejig some stuff. I know the baking cupboard & my drawers can probably loose some [STRIKE]weight[/STRIKE] things :rotfl: Told OH straight last night that if we haven't used something since we moved here then it goes - we're in our 4th year in this house :rolleyes: I think I'll need to pop to the Co-op for a couple of boxes though. OH is going to hate me at the weekend when he sees the amount of stuff to go...EVERYTHING that we don't want is going unless is a DVD/CD or as new condition Right, the cupboards won't sort themselves :wave:

• Dailies
  • Beds - leaving them to air today

  • Join DD's gloves together with ribbon to put through coat (to stop her loosing just the one again!)
  • Make "snake" for behind front door.
  • Inventory of stuff in rooms as I go - 30 mins perday. Livingroom done, kitchen for today.
  • [STRIKE]Ebay items ready for listing on Thursday, 5 items per day if I can manage any I'll be happy! Considering just charity shopping everything except for really good stuff [/STRIKE]
  • Update Money
  • Set up a budget for the rest of the month until Paydays for each of us. (4-6 days apart :rolleyes: )
  • Start HGP lists - amended version for me as I have a much smaller house and it started back in August (as seen here : http://holidaygrandplan.com/ )

Afternoon all.

Raining here, still, so one load of washing draped round upstairs. And that's it! Did the kitchen yesterday as well as living room so I'm on strike today.....apart from cooking lunch which I'm about to serve up now.

Back later.

YES!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!! Tesco had pickling vinegar in stock... so I can do the remaining 3lb of onions.. seeing as they have devoured almost a jar full already!!!!

I've done a Boots order.. for £31 worth of points AND 3.5% back from quidco so I'm a happy chicken!!

Cuppa and apron making I think.. then I can take it to school when I go collect them.. see what her teacher thinks! I have a blue blouse which will be perfect.. need a skirt.. Right.. I can think of one we can use IF I can find it! Headscarf to match the apron will be needed I think.. right.. I'm gone for a bit.. xxx
