    Good Morning All! I'm off all this week apart from Thursday so I'm hoping to do wonders with the lists!! Remind me of that again on Friday night and we'll see how far I've got.

    Drama already this morning. DS11 will be starting senior school next week. They use a card to pay for school meals and use in vending machines. He asked me where it was yesterday. Well., it must have been on my mind because I woke up and went to the place I 'thought' it was and it wasn't there. I asked OH and he swore he had neither seen it or moved it. So, much arguing and frantically searching went on. I went into DS11's room - and there it was - on his shelf - so he must have moved it himself!! Of course, he was very apologetic but I assured him it wasn't his fault.

    The moral of the story - todays' focus is going to be - putting things where they should be and not just in boxes and bags and piles.

    Oh, and the bathroom of course...

    oooh, me and my big mouth saying I'd try to get involved in this!

    Saying that though, for me to complete Level One is just to put one pair of shoes away - there's no other 'guff' on the floor!

    Edit: shoes put away and kitchen floor swept to make level one a vaguely worthwhile achievement for me!

    Morning all

    Just having my second cuppa of the morning. I'm waiting for the kids to leave for work then I'll just in the bath and have a soak.

    Then I'll contemplate what to do with the first of my three days off...
