    I'm on a mission today.  I've already made a start on deep cleaning the bathroom, and have pulled all my clothing out to sort through.  After I've done my toast, I'll stick the oven cleaner on the oven so that can be done as well.  I am hoping to get both the kitchen and bathroom deep cleaned this weekend.

    The kids are sorting through their toys at the moment, so hopefully they will identify stuff to go.

    Hopefully DH will get on with something as well.

    I've also packed an ebay parcel and have a load of listing to be done.

    Have a good day everyone!

    We did manage to achieve a fair amount yesterday, though we got sidetracked by tackling the toys.  We have a big pile to go, some will be sold, some to charity/school, and some will just have to be binned.  It feels good to see so much leaving!  Just need to be sure it leaves the house now.

    I also cleaned the bathroom, but still need to finish that, I want to wash the ceiling and walls, and do the shower curtain yet.  I also cleaned the oven, which looks much better, so need to do more in the kitchen.

    We made a last minute decision to go to a firework display last night, and that was nice.  I treated us to takeaway so I didn't have to use the clean oven :D 

    Today I shall carry on, but am starting with a load of listing.  I like to end all listings at the start of December to avoid risk of postal delays, so it would be good to clear a lot of stuff beforehand.

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Not so sure about that, I hate doing them :D:D   I've done 18 now, so fingers crossed they sell, then I'll moan about the packing and posting :D
