    Asda shopping delivered and put away, just waiting for the dog food to come now.

    My "y" key isn't working all the time. I got panicky last night when I couldn't log in somewhere then realised that was why. Probably a crumb stuck in there......

    9 items listed on Turbolister so far - will be doing a bundle of ladies clothing though as the majority of a bundle I bought is for sale again as it doesn't fit or doesn't suit me :rolleyes: Will just add up how many items and then decide what price to list it as. Best get on... still got another 3 boxes to work through. :eek: :wave:

    Hugs to all poorlies and poorly LO's - theres so many about today.

    I felt really carppy last week so there must be viruses doing the rounds as usual, both me and DS were full of colds but thankfully its passed now. I actually wondered, well hoped, if I could have been pregnant I felt so poorly but alas, no:(

    Anyway, catch you later xx

    What a day - managed to sleep through the alarm and only surfaced at 7.50. We have to be out the house at 8.25 to be at school on time so it was a bit of a rush.
    Had an awful headache by the time I got back and nothing seems to be shifting it.
    Right so far today I have:
    Stripped the kids beds
    Washed the bedding
    Last lot just finishing in the td - it keeps raining here
    Remade the beds
    Done some ironing
    Cleaned 3 bathrooms
    Cleaned the kitchen
    Vacuumed whole house
    Mopped the floors
    Dusted
    Finished my US tax return - hope I've done it right.

    Just going to have a cuppa and some lunch then I better make a start on dinner and do some more website stuff.

    See you all later
