    Hi, Can I join ?
    Will there be a list of things for Thur, Fri etc ?
    Is it ok to go to level 1 on some things, 2 on others and 3 on others ?
    The reason I ask is that I have a DS 14 months so sometimes my time suddenly dissappears in dirty nappies, toys and other stuff! Also some days I am rendered pretty useless physical activity wise when back goes (like it did last Tue, normally the ache is not too bad). I also need to timetable in some back exercise time for myself too!
    Also is there a set day off ?
    Ok, thanks
    Strangely enough I had done Wed level 1 this morning, before even reading the thread!!! LOL LOL
    Thanks and great to hear how you all do :)

    Hi OrkneyStar, good to see you on here too... Pigpen updates the list on page 1 every evening ready for the next day - she is very good at it and will nag you if you don't do it (I have witnessed this on others, have been lucky not to have been nagged yet myself, but can see that happening soon if I don't move my butt off this chair :D:D )

    I aim to do level one, but usually end up doing other stuff too, which is great as I really need to do it all... but whatever you can do is fine...

    Basically, there it no day off, unless you want a day off. The list is for everyday and there is also a weekend one - but you do what you need to do.

    You can mark your list off on your original one, but it will get lost, as this thread goes reeeeaaaalllllyyyy fast, so probably better to repost once you've done a few like other do.

    Hope that helps, take care hon, see you on the GC, Den x

    Welcome - do you mean you haven't got any clutter to clear? If yes eat a bar of chocolate and then you'll at least have a wrapper to put in the bin :rotfl:

    Plumber has eventually finished so I now need to put everything back together again!

    I've done quite a bit of ironing but still got a load more to do.

    I'm not really sure what to do with my towels and spare duvets until my airing cupboard gets built back up again. At the moment they are on DD's floor - any ideas?

    Right I'll go and get some dinner on the go seeing as the kids think I'm starving them!

    Not done too bad. Did get distracted by friends hubbie popping in - no nonsense we are all good friends and he is a local builder so was popping in to see the progress on my kitchen and bring me some more wood for the fire. Whilst we were chatting in the garden my M&S order with DS1 school troussers arrived and then my wall paint arrived so I am ready to go! Just need a little rest first.

    Going to delete 10 more mails and then set to it! It has gone dark here so the washing could be coming back in.

    juliejim when we didn't have one I used the bottom of wardrobes

    Happier now, I'd had a single mattress protector (hospital type that covers the whole thing) on order from snugnights for several months, they were out of stock. Got a number today for a local 'non profit' organisation which sells home aids, £11 :D pick one up today. What makes me angry is how much are these people making out of people with disabilities and their carers to sell for £40!

    Just been in the shower, slobbing on the bed sorting bank stuff out at the mo, best get ready to take DS2 as it's 14 miles away and needs to be there by 1.30pm, toodles!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just checked one of my survey sites and I have enough points for my first £10 voucher from them! That will inspire me to do the surveys more frequently.
