    Hi

    Can I join in? I want to take the plunge.:eek:

    I'm going for level 1 with elements of level 2.

    I'm reactive to housework rather than proactive.........I have two weeks of holiday left, so no excuses!:rolleyes:

    Will let you know how I get on!

    Have managed to do quite a bit in the conservatory......now just needs cleaning!
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Thanks all for the welcome.

    Have just spent the last hour attempting to declutter my dining table so I can actually clean it!
    I'm a little embarrassed to say it's still only half way clear :embarasse
    Still, better than it was I suppose :rolleyes:

    I'm off to my sisters now as she is moving house at the end of the week and I've been roped in to help her pack / sort out junk - why is it always so much easier when it's someone elses mess????

    I'm determined to finish the mountainous table when I get back - keep you posted

    Quite right too - they are, actually, computer operated - so there you go.
    That Mumoffour77 was a seriously impressive and inspirational post (Post number 60)! You are my hero! Go girl!


    Thank you Valli!!!

    I was so scared and its really out of charachter for me to get angry with the kids!! Fear makes me horrid!! But we live quite close to the sea front, and A boy of 14 lost his life 4 years ago in the bad weather!! And that was at the forefront of my mind, when I was out looking for the boys!! Myself and DS1 will have a chat later on about his behaviour and my reaction!! Not just yet tho!
    But yes i firmly believe that if a child can work a computer they can work a WM, he knows how to sort clothes into appropiate piles!! He also cooks!! And he enjoys it.....as the rule in the house is whom ever cooks doesnt clean up after dinner and the kids work out amongst themselves who does what, Table and chairs, work tops, dishwasher, and floor!!! Its done reasonably well too!!!
    Tee Hee I have never described as a hero before......Thanks Valli:) you made me smile and lifted my spirits for today!!!!!

    G and B dont cover it until a scab has formed, let the air at it as much as possible keep it away from heat and if it gets weepy or itchy run it under cold water!!! HTH:)
