Bitchy - I can understand that feeling of sheer desperation and the strength you get from it. I?m not surprised your back hurts though, that?s a heck of a lot of furniture moving there!
PA - Wow.... just wow.... you poor thing. Time to keep your family locked in me thinks!
Toffee - glad you?re on the improve, hope it continues.
IWipe - that?s why I buy paint at my local paint shop and have it mixed there and then. They?re also faster, and more knowledgeable than anyone at the DIY shops.
NickNacks - 
at your sitting room. Although mine doubles up as the DSs? playroom, so any tidying lasts a miniscule amount of time.
WhoKnows - 
to help cheer you up.
Lauren - you?re right, I certainly didn?t appreciate living so close to the coast for most of my life. It?s only now when the drive to the beach is hours away that I realise how lucky I was.
Waves to Blue and Cherry and anyone else I?ve missed.
Well I?ve finally managed to sit down for five minutes with a cup of tea and catch up with the thread. I feel exhausted, the house is in chaos (when isn?t it?? 
) and I?ve got so many things on my todo list that won?t help get the house tidy over the next week that it?s ridiculous!
It was nice catching up with my friend yesterday though. He's so very, very lucky he's not worse off. They moved house on Friday though, and DF's fiancee was struggling a bit coping with DF and getting the house sorted. She's far more organised than I am though, if I were in the same situation my house would have been in a far worse state - I think that's because she's better at decluttering, they have far less boxes than I did when I moved. DH and another friend helped move some heavier boxes upstairs and put their wardrobe up while I let DF's fiancee download on me, and the DSs talked DF's ear off while he was trapped in his chair.
I have more paid work coming in, which is sort of nice. Just wish it could have waited until next Thursday when DSs go back to school and nursery. Trying to make the most of this last full week of school holidays and have things planned for every day of the week.
Tada:
Take and send photo of chest of drawers to potential buyer
Go to storage unit and pull out bed and mattress for friend to collect
While there pull out futon and bring it back to set up in spare room
Go through 1 box of papers in storage unit
Shred throw out pile of papers from storage unit
Empty my and DH?s shredding into hole in the ground and cover with dirt (cheats way of filling in a hole 
!)
One x load of bedding washed, hung and brought inside
One x load of shirts, washed, starched and hung up to dry
One x load in washing machine
Lunch for DSs
15 minute tidy up in lounge room
5 minute tidy up in kitchen
5 minute tidy up in dining room
Child swap (DS1 off to friends and her DS2 here playing with my DS2)
Now I?ve got less than 15 mins before I have to get both DS2s to martial arts (only DS1 does it, but both friend?s DSs do. DS2 has to wait until January to start). Then a quick dinner for the boys, bath and bed. Make dinner for DH and myself and sit down and get working. Hopefully will get it finished in time to do at least a smidgen of tidying up before bed. In there somewhere I have to do some ironing ? clothes situation getting a bit desperate!
But tomorrow I start kickboxing!!! I?m really looking forward to it, although I probably won?t be able to move for a few days after that.
