    Theology - just finishing the first of 2 years' part-time college, and I have to write 6000 words based on my experiences during my recent placement.

    I have just cleaned the ensuite and workmens' loo too, whilst waiting for the extra spin to finish. WMx1 is pegged out, WMx2 is in. Oh yes, and I have been training Rosie to lie down - she loves cheese from a tube even better than doggy training treats.

    Can you spot my delaying tactics?

    Hi all

    Feeling a bit tired and out of sorts, which I shouldnt do, considering that I have been away for the weekend!

    Anyway, on with more paid stuff. House is OK unless you look closely then there are dust and cobwebs in abundance.

    Oh better put yet another load of washing on first!

    Ionafan :rotfl: I get those delaying tactics so well!! I am a uni student studying Psychology with Criminology and at the end of last term when I had 2 x 2500 word essays to write and an exam to study for I spent ages looking at life hacks on YouTube lol. Have you got the Focus Keeper app on your phone? It's free and very good as you set it and it gives you 5 min breaks every half an hour and after 2 hours you get 30 mins. Very flylady really!

    Also search on YouTube for music to study with. I found one that is 3 hours long and it's sort of sounds and music with a deliberate low tone that stops the brain listening for patterns in the music which allows us to concentrate. Apparently:D

    One bathroom complete to level 3. I got a bit carried away. Left to dry so I can redo some grout tomorrow. Only doing what I can reach. Ordered new shower stool. It proved useful to sit on old one whilst I was cleaning the shower but it is no longer hygienic as quite a few cracks in it.

    I have far too many bottles of shower gel but haven't bought any in years. We just use those left in our cottage. Must concentrate on using g the ones that are almost empty first. I use it for cleaning tiles etc too.

    Can't think what they'd be. :whistle:

    I don't think I'll ever finish all the clingfilm, silver foil and shower gels that get left behind. Haven't bought any in years!

    I have been reading inspirational cleaning books again, honestly if I spent more time cleaning and less time reading then the house might actually get done.

    What are 'inspirational cleaning books?' Is it a bit like decluttering when you have to buy the book to find out how to do it and then at the end declutter the book, but you can't because 'it might come in useful one day?'

    The dyson conked out on the stairs. Shame. ;)

    Showed Lodger No 2 to her room, to find a Devil Cat monster turd sitting right in the middle of the bed.

    Bossy Cheers - now I know what to look for, I'll take another look; Mr LW is nearly out of his yogurty drinks (cholesterol-lowering jobbies) so I'll need to visit Morries soon.

    Short post today folks, as I'm feeling rough & need to keep my energy for Fudge's needs. ;)

    HB what a horrible present for your new lodger. And, extra work for you.

    I love Alison May books about home keeping. Makes it feel more of a pleasure than a chore.
