1. SMALL TASKS WILL BE DONE ASAP
2. I WILL LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I ENTERED
3. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT
4. WHEN DEALING WITH CLUTTER I WILL USE ‘Daisy1571’s idea of ‘WHAT WOULD I DO WITH THIS ITEM IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE’S ?’
5. IF I WAS STARTING FROM SCRATCH, WOULD I BUY THIS?
6. BE LIKE A POSTAGE STAMP - STICK TO ONE THING UNTIL YOU GET THERE

Saturday was heavy cloud ALL day with some short showers so no decluttering - any excuse not to declutter :rotfl: Mind you I did declutter several hours of programmes off my planner :j DH pottered about in the garage & packed a bag for an overnight trip to Winchelsea for the last ever cricket tour game + a bit of Round Britain Rallying & DSis did a lot of sleeping Sausages, mash, oven baked cherry tomatoes & baked beans for dinner - scrumptious especially the bacon & maple syrup flavoured sausages - even DSis loved them
Sunday has been mainly overcast so far apart from an hour or so where it started to brighten up - some blue sky & warmth whilst I was out shopping but now looks like it is about to rain - probably will as DSis has just hung out a wash load I got up to make DH coffee whilst he was having a bath. Then he packed the bike & decided to take a couple of cans from the garage fridge & that is where my tale of woe begins :eek::(:( A single can of drink had frozen AND EXPLODED :eek::eek: The whole of the inside of the fridge & all the contents were coated in P*ps* Max :eek: DH had to leave so I was left to clean up It took an hour :( but it did give me the opportunity to rearrange the contents & satisfy my need to have like with like :rotfl:

After that I did my sm shop & came back to find my DSis was actually out of bed :rotfl:

Evening, continued with the decluttering of our daughter's bedroom before it gets decorated.

One bag for the tip filled up with knickers, socks and pyjamas she has grown out of. Along with her school shoes, wellies, and an old pair of slippers which have all been grown out of.

A small bag of clothes for the charity shop including an old pair of swim goggles.

A bag full of coathangers. Not sure how that has happened when she has spare coathangers in her wardrobe.

Spent 45 minutes on the task, involved my daughter throughout. It went well, she definitely knows what clothes fit her and more importantly the clothes that need to be moved on.

Dear All,
Thank you for all the best wishes for my hubby.
He is continuing to go from strength to strength.
Also, he managed to eat his dinner today without chucking it over the table or floor.
Still not fully aware of where his left hand. We went blackberry picking early this morning (Great hand-eye coordination physio ) Whilst we were picking he saw an arm, he thought it was mine then realised that it was his :eek:

Nan, sorry to hear about your hubby and that he is on edge. Sending you both some hugs back. I am just so thankful that he is bouncing back. I now how lucky we are and that it could have been a whole lot worse.

Used up: ys stuffing, crumpets, crisps, chicken and homegrown potatoes.
Passed on: clarins serum to my mum; some rhubarb, piccalilli and bag of garden waste for BIL compost bin.

Mum bought us a bag of apples which I have stewed down. Lovely with the blackberries.

DH phoned when he arrived & phoned after the cricket game - an honourable draw then curry & beers. Really upset that tomorrow’s breakfast is continental rather than a full English DSis & I had saut!ed new potatoes, fried bacon & eggs with baked tomatoes & mushrooms, lo sausages & lo baked beans for our dinner - yummy 🤤

Hugs and get well wishes to the Gem-Gem household, what an awful day that must have been. (And how nice to be able to go fruit picking even with a 'phantom' arm. I imagine that's just down to it being early days and his brain will soon sort that out).

I have just a few bits to declare: three lids, four fridge items, two hairclips and some pistachios.

New total 1184.

You can crreate drafts that can be listed later on. When creating the listing you press 'save for later' instead of 'list'.

But I have only ever used that method not used a programme.

I have used this and saved one a a draft but they show as individual where the other version was one sheet with them listed down so you could edit. The one you say is the one the EBay help people told me about. I will persist, I listed 2 items yesterday as a practice.

Was it turbo lister?

I've found the forum on ebay quite helpful.
