What small DFW things will you do this week? w/c 05/06

Morning all,
Pouring with rain just like yesterday so no garden jobs on today's agenda. I need to prioritise clearing the books mountain - the task I started yesterday, so I think that will take me most of my free time today:
*Postie brought latest £10 voucher from Ipsos surveys - updated signature - that brings me up to £200 of survey income so far this year.
*Set washing machine on timer overnight to make use of cheap tariff. I may run a service clean today at 90 degrees with some vinegar if I've got enough in the cupboard,as yesterday's laundry came out with brown gunk on it & I had to wash 3 items again.
*Did a Ugov survey. Only cashed out fairly recently but am already at £12.25 again, so must carry on with these.
*Am making veggie fajhitas tonight......might need to make up more fajhita spice mix as my jar looks a bit low, Intend to freeze remaining tortilla wraps to make quesadillas for dinner another week. I like to kind of roll something forward for another meal.
*Pick homegrown watercress & lettuce as the basis for tonight's salad.
*Cadged a cardboard box from mr f's work & packed my 'Ziffit' order of books. All labelled & ready to drop off for collection tomorrow when I shall have the wheels.
*Photograph ebay items & begin listing. I'd truly love to get these all done today, but there are a lot & I don't think this is a very realistic goal.....particularly as I always give a very detailed description of condition to minimize returns from people trying it on because they've changed their mind.
*Knit more of friend's sock for the Presents Box.
*Start a charity shop pile - not money saving but it is decluttering, & that's always important to me, as stuff sitting around for ages does cause me to have unhelpful mental clutter.
*Entered 2 prize draws.
*Use-it-up - always ongoing. Mostly odds & ends of lipstick at the moment. I seem to have lots of tiny bits of these all in use simultaneously & I'm sick of seeing them. Mascara placed by the kettle for a soak in hot water first thing tomorrow......can get another few days out once it's softened (tip from 'Jackie' magazine circa 1976......whoops, showing my age.......)
*Squidge down to greenhouse later to see if anything in there needs watering. The outside stuff certainly won't.
*If I get sick of ebaying (quite likely!), I might pick some rhubarb & make a batch of my little low cal mini-muffins for the freezer. Really useful to pop in my bag on days where I might otherwise be tempted by a whopping slice of cake (that'd be pretty much most days then......)
OK.......must go & fetch my phone now & start photographing this tower of books for ebay. Could have sold more to the online book-buying companies, but some of their offers were frankly taking the p*ss in my opinion, so I shall try them 3 times on ebay & if they don't sell, will take them to our lovely local Oxfam bookshop.
Have a good day all.

Phew! I DID manage to get all those books listed on ebay. Apart from an hour away from my desk for lunch & a short period when I lost the internet signal, it's taken me the best part of all day. The annoying thing is that I might not even sell any of them!! Still, it's worth a go & at least re-listings will be really speedy now everything's properly on there. It doesn't help that I insist on doing really full descriptions but this is from experience as I think too many people have twigged that ebay almost always find in the buyer's favour regardless & some seem to change their mind (or have obviously found the item elsewhere in the meantime) & use the tiniest little quibble to demand a full refund. As I have often sold vintage items in the past (from my love affair with flea markets & antique fairs), I like to cover my back. Anyway, it's finished. I just need to iron a shirt - I promised mr f I'd iron him one on a non-ironing day as he has to go to a funeral tomorrow - I'm not going. I'd like to, for the support, but it's too soon after my friend, & it's the same chapel, so I am staying at home. Right iron out, then quickly finish the rest of today's jobs Lowest step count EVER as haven't left the house (chucking down with rain) & have been at my desk all day. Booo to mean fitbits that say people haven't done anything (even when it's true!)
Cheers,

Hi guys bit late for me today as I ended up getting extra shifts for job number 2 ... At home now then back for more tonight

I did manage to get my e bay stuff listed last night and most of the things that I had finishing last night sold so these have been posted .. Yay

That's another £300 off my cards .. Whoop !!

I've managed to prep the boys dinner for tonight so they just need to warm while I'm at work and I've promised to make a cake or some cookies later in the week ...

Think I've got just about enough time to make a cuppa for on my way back to work I don't need to set up at least as I did that this morning

See you all bright and early tomorrow

My mind has conveniently blocked out the bit where I bought fish and chips on the way back from the Post Office

But... I threw out a manky courgette yesterday but need one for making my favourite pasta but my local Mr T only sell them in packs of three so I didn't buy any which was just as well because... My courgette plants only have frikkin courgettes on them!!! :j The biggest is probably four or five inches at the moment. I can't believe how quickly (and easily) that's all happened from buying the plants to actual vegetables. Even Auby now has 5 flower buds with possibly another couple on the way though he's out in the elements now but has been for two or three weeks now and he seems to be surviving.

I got a book on square foot vegetable gardening from the free table today. I will definitely try a couple more things next year. I'm not keen on leafy salads, radishes, beetroot etc but I might try some parsnips in a large bin or summat.
