  • My still-to-do list now looks like this

    Monday Mayhem - Living Room, Hall
    Vacuum through the living room, hall
    Wipe and water plants
    Put all your hotspots in one pile and work your way through it..
    Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –
    1. Wipe down any paintwork that needs it.
    killed 2 birds with one stone - tidied up the cupboard and filled the bin bag - well only a carrier but that was all there was in the way of rubbish!

    will finish that later - must go shower/dress/ go to town.

    Well done SS - you have made a good start - do you still need nagging LOL???

    Yes toots that's exactly what I am going to try to do! I have an old cardboard one and I can get loads from the scrap store. I love the fabric covered ones but they are so expensive. I have off cuts of curtain fabric in the loft so I intend to get out the PVA and have a go - will try it out first before I use my favourite fabric - I'll let you know how I get on.

    All cleaning done and feel very smug now as I have a cuppa and a couple of shortbread fingers.

    I've realised three flying things I am going to share with you all.

    1. I fly best the week after AF has visited so need to plan and make the most of this.

    2. As we all know once you start to clear the junk the flying is easier and more successful.

    3. Now I have a new found passion - my family tree - I have an urge to get all the outstanding jobs done. I know lots of the jobs I have not been doing as in the back of my head has been a nag saying and what are you going to do with yourself once all the jobs on your list are done? Well now I can answer the nag and finish the jobs.

    Made a good start on W's room, was putting all the books back on his shelves. As you know he is mad about Thomas and friends so most of the books are train orientated but right there in the middle of them all was the new I*ea catalogue!!!!!!

    Right off for the school run, let's see if he remembers his coat today.
