    Havent caught up with the thread but will do later. Its raining:mad: So I have arranged for playdate to come here instead.
    Am about to call practice manager but had to share my brag first-DS made a wee wee in the potty:j Well, half a one. He started in the pot plant so I went chasing after him with the potty and he finished up in there-then wanted the potty back so he could "water...tree". I guess I should be grateful that I didnt need a towel again:rotfl:

    Good Morning, I've just joined and am going to join in with this thread every day if that's ok? It's great as it's the kitchen and dining room today, as I half did the kitchen yesterday! So going to finish the job today.

    I'm the worst houseperson in the world, I had a mother who was obsessed with cleaning and I have gone totally the opposite way over the years. But I know when the house is tidy, clean and organised, it feels much nicer for me, hubby and son. So here I go!!

    ps how do I cross out the line when I've done a task??
