Right, who thought they would get away with nothing to do HUH!

Here's the list for the weekend:rotfl: :rotfl:

The weekend list for all those not too hung over to do it!!

Work to level 3 in a room of your choice.. preferably a messy one!!
  1. QHI (quarter of an hour ironing!!)
  2. binbag of rubbish to bin!
  3. 5 things listed on ebay
  4. 15 minute hotspot clearance (see below for explanation)
  5. wash the windows that got left this week
  6. 15 minute sock pairing.. we all have a basket of odd ones.. go sort some.. fling the ones that have been in there for 86 years!!
  7. Muck out any pets. (PAP - you were ahead of the game this week!)
  8. Clear a window sill that is a dumping ground
  9. Wipe all the sticky marks off the walls in one room.
A hotspot is a spot in the room where you just dump things intending to move them later. Mine is round my television in my bedroom.....

And for all you men who claim I am discriminating here is your list

1. Take OH cup of tea in bed
2. Mow the lawn (Lenny you are excused you have done this already)
3. Wash the car(s)
4. Be nice to the missus

Just been for a 4 mile run, very chuffed with meself... Off to do some housework!

    Dam Dam Dam....although I did 2 hours of ironing yesterday so I don't have any left so thats one off the list!
    I will list my 5 things on ebay tomorrow as Sunday is always a better finishing day
    Sorted the socks yesterday when I did ALL the washing and ironing

    The list is getting shorter
