Our garage is a pit a stuffed to the edges pit:eek: . Am hoping once the ebay stuff is sold I can get rid of all the boxes I have been saving for posting stuff in and get to the xmas decs that are stored right at the back. Have got some ps3 and wii games plus a bedstead on there at mo, they are due to end of Wednesday so will aim to photo rest of stuff (or maybe 5 things at a time that doesnt sound so scarey). I really dont know how Nicki and Pigpen can list so much stuff at a time - hats off to ya girls:D .

Have done the facebook thing, I am a bit clueless and just pressing buttons at mo so apologies is I send anything stupid:o , I noticed I had managed to hug myself earlier:rotfl: .

Right I am off to do some ironing, came home from work to find DH had done the stuff in the basket so just todays wash for me:T .

As well as aiming for level 2's I need to clear out the big cupboard in my
bedroom to put the baskets and goodies in that I am storing all over the house for the christmas hampers I am doing for everyones pressie this year!

What jab is it Michelle - is it MMR?? We havent had appt for that yet.

:j Last Monday here, so sorry :rolleyes: there is naff all chance I will be keeping to flylady daily list, but will post my own. Some of it is from the list but tweeked or added to, NOT DOING IRONING!!! That's a swear word here. Actually I might find mine while we are packing as it's been missing 3 weeks now! My main problem tomorrow is being at the new house for the darn bed arriving which was supposed to arrive last week!


Pack and post ebay stuff
[STRIKE]Vacuum floors and sofas [/STRIKE]Take curtains down to be washed (will just have blinds up for the week)
Pack and coats which are not needed, think I will be mean and keep one each out
[STRIKE] Dusting
Clean dining room floor [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Water any thirsty plants, wipe their poor neglected leaves so I am less embarrassed when I give them to my BIL[/STRIKE]
Paperwork-sort the 2 boxes, deal with urgent,file what is needed, chuck the rest!
[STRIKE]
Clean 4 windows and 2 sets of glass patio doors and glass in other back door in new house :mad: why did someone decide to have 3 sets of back doors!
Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it! Will do a few of these I hope!
Pack up 3 PCs & put in car
Put desk we are keeping in car [/STRIKE] :mad: argh doesn't fit so have to take different one over
[STRIKE]Unpack PCs & desk at other end (DS2s after his bed is built)[/STRIKE] on floor for now
Build DS2s bed (when it arrives) half done
Phone Argos see if there is any chance them sending the right part for DS1s bed soonish
Pack think will aim at toys and games today again, clear more of bathroom too
Unpack DS1s clothes into drawers
[STRIKE]Decide where furniture in our room is going [/STRIKE]

Will try and get this done even if I am in a bad mood with DP who just screamed down the phone at me when I said there is no point taking some of the furniture over as need to pack everything 'well get everything packed then' what does he think I have been doing for the last god knows how many weeks. Every day before we got the keys I packed at least one box/bag, since we got the keys 3 a day and since last week between 4 and 8 a day, some days more. He's packed his shed stuff and NOTHING else. Really annoyed me as part of me was thinking he seems to be expecting me to do everything, now I know he is. He just got a snotty text of look every day I have packed, unpacked, painted aswell as normal stuff like sorting kids for school/at home, making every meal, washing, cleaning etc. I'm NOT superwoman!!!

Oh Lil_me, time for a big temper tantrum where you throw a box at him and yell that if he thinks it's so bloody easy, he should do it, and see to the kids, and keep this place livable and cook and do washing too!

Honestly, I think sometimes all men understand is child like tantrums! If you try to calmly and reasonably ask then to help you just get a blank look! *glowers at hubby who fell asleep and sat on his !!!!!!! butt for the past two days (its my days off) and who still hasn't made me a cuppa even though I just did the dishes and tidied up round about his fat wii playing azz* Get him told the sod! Shed stuff, bet most of it was allready in tatty boxes and is junk anyway!
