    :o Morning All

    My list for today is:

    Study & bathrooms - Tuesday
    Level One

    Clear the clutter from all these rooms!!
    spend 15-30 minutes filing that paperwork!!
    Level Two
    Vacuum the floors
    clean bath, toilets, shower and sinks
    Wipe down the tiles and defragment the pc while doing this.
    Level Three
    declutter and dust the pc desk
    Wipe away cup rings and sticky things
    wipe the keyboard, mouse, cables and sockets and suchlike.
    Clean the windows.
    Sort the empty bottles and tubes out of the bathroom
    Extras
    • Vacuum under movable furniture
    • HHI.. (more like 2 hours, where does it all come from?)
    • Clear a hotspot - Kids table
    I was planning on cleaning the windows but its blowing a gale and spitting at the moment.

    Whilst sorting through the kids clothes I found some several pairs of Gap jeans and cords and some shirts that are too small but in pretty good nick.

    So you seasoned ebayers out there, what's the best way to go? Should I list it all separately ro bundle items together?
    I can never find the time to ebay stuff normally but as I have a week off with the kids at school, I thought I might try my luck. Pretty skint so any extra cash would be good right now

    Those people doing nurseries, small child's bedrooms, etc. - which we seem to have quite a few of at the moment - does anyone want a pair of curtains and a quilt cover with Fimbles on? If so, let me know.

    Morning all hope there are no hangovers after last nights drinking.

    Can't decide whether to put the washing on the maiden or wait a bit and see if it dries up, not raining anymore and a bit of blue appearing but clouds moving fast.

    Going to do bathroom first whilst having shower and then I will get the family room finished from last week.

    Swimming later at new earlier time - think I'll set the timer to remind me.

    Morning ladies. Hope all the poorly ones are feeling better. (((soappie)))

    Had a non-day yesterday, so jutting my determined chin out today. About to finish the washing up in sink, set WM on and then off to get some food before it starts raining.

    JillD someone on the shopping thread recommended 'Vasegex' heel balm £1.49 at 'Home and Bargains'. Theres none in my local one, but you could try yours. Apparently she tried everything else, but this is the only thing that works (?whats in it??!!).

    Busy, Busy, Busy today.
    2 at school other one ready to go except for shoes, file for course found.

    Plan for today
    Course, Home, kiddies, dentist and then flying.

    Hope everyone has a great day and big hello to all newbies.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
