Tell you what.. come to mine on a busmans holiday.. bring the mini peoples they can entertain mine and not make mess at your house and I'll supply the binbags and you can fling whatever you think needs flinging.. and I'll supply food and tea on tap

Tempting.....very, very, tempting! As long as you don't lead me astray *coughs*

Right, I'm really going this time.

pigpen

I'm in again this week. Thanks for the list Pigpen.
I will do the bathroom tomorrow but i will also do the Kitchen, just because it needs doing, and hubby expects it to be done on a Monday when i'm in the flying zone!

Been to Ikea today and chosen a table and chairs that we are going to get when we have saved up. I love walking round Ikea and now we have our own transport it will be better than having to rely on when my parents are going. Hubby really didn't fancy going but he loved it too when we got there.

Thanks pigpen, and good luck to lil_me for your coursework.

I shall probably stick to my usual routine as well, unless I actually have some paid work to do this week, in which case, I shall be making it up as I go along!

Lazy morning here, grafted the toe of my second sock, and very proud of them - pic sometime when I can work out how to post it without stretching the page here. After lunch, DD and I popped downtown to get some bits - including a new teapot as I dropped it last week and broke the lid. Then a quick trip to the garden centre to get some seed potatoes and some sweet pea seeds. It was getting a bit late to sow the seeds when I got back - not to mention far too cold out there!Spent the time on here instead, and now I must go make a tray of flapjacks for the children to take to school this week.

Welcome to all the newbies - don't try to make it perfect in one week - it didn't just take one week to get the house into that state, so don't expect instant results - eespecially if you have any little people.The rooms will all come round again next week. Also, and very importantly - celebrate what you have managed to achieve, I really don't want to read anyone saying 'Oh, I only did ... and I didn't do(long list follows)'!

Hi everyone, thanks for the list pigpen.

Haven't done much today, had me sister and her fella up.

Got a message from one of my best friends and she got engaged last night so chuffed for her.

Ebay Queen Pigpen if you don't mind me asking how much do you put on ebay at any one time, i've only started selling again but only a few items at a time think maybe i should be putting on alot more at a time. Any tips as nothing is selling, no watchers nothing.

Right less of me talking need to find school uniforms and get things ready for tomorrow and start the bathroom tonight.

pigpen

I list as much as I feel I cn cope with.. I started off doing 25.. I've currently got 120 on.. but I know that is about my limit.. for time and keeping enthused.. I HATE queueing to post stuff... I usually sell about half as well which is great.. until you get 3 non payers and send the wrong things to the wrong people!! lol

£192 now!!! I'm getting all excited!! :j:j

Hello everyone

Haven't been very well so not caught up much on old thread.....but am in this week. Thank you for list pigpen, hope studying goes to plan lil-me - good luck!

Have just finished reading and enjoying the shabby chic thread ...... anyone else read it?

Michelle - hope you're OK ...as I said I haven't read the old thread properly but caught a mention of you being on antibiotics in one of the few posts I skimmed through.

Right - apart from pigpen's list this week I aim to:-

• make a start on the patchwork quilt I keep intending to make
• start a new Lizzie Kate cross stitch (am trying to do 12 pieces, one for each month of the year to sew into another quilt)
• start cataloguing my books on the PC - I have over 3000 so not a small job :eek::eek::eek:
• make a start on sorting drawers in bureau and chest in living room

Hmmmmmmmmmm looks like a lot of "make a start" options there

DS2 going on a rugby day to another school tomorrow - can't get his gum shield to mould to his teeth properly :mad: this means I'll worry alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day long! DD2 been pleasant for almost 2 weeks now ........WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right off to make some hummous (sp??) for tea......use up some pitta bread

Pigpen!

I made a start on my kitchen! :mad:

Ah well, means I have an easy day as my bathroom and PC area is still pretty sparkly.

My husband is in the bad books though, said he would be home an hour ago and if he thinks that he can wander in after 7 and I will have got kids bathed and bedded down, he has another thing coming!
