Weekly Flylady Thread 28th April 2008

cha97michelle

Just had a good hour cleaning the various downstairs windows, with a sprint in the middle to get all the clothes back in off the line. My dad mispredicted the heatwave that is for sure. Wish the weather would make a decision and stick to it.

Also, had to try and discipline the cats as they decided to have a game of chase around the living/dining room, and to walk all over my freshly cleaned window sill. :mad: Sometimes i really wonder why i bother. But.


still need to get all this washing hung up, and then it will be time to get DS from nursery. No rest for the wickid as they say. Perhaps i will manage to clean the upstairs windows that need it tomorrow while DS has a nap. I can hope can't i.

Woo, another 3 things up on eBay, and I have a watcher on one of my items, how exciting!!

I may even try sticking my car on eBay, does anyone reckon thats a good idea? or will they suck a load of fees out of me?

Edit: Just read up on the fees, they will charge about £28 to list! I only want about £250 for the damn thing!

raph - I found that gumtree were good when I sold my car (free). You could try adtrader, I think thats about £20. I got a lot of dodgy emails tho. People asking me to ship my car to the canaries and such like. Bizarre!!
