I have deleted 70 emails today so doing well with the MACAW

I've just spent the past however long since my last post doing the qualification planner on the OU website. I don't want to do a Business Studies with ICT degree (looked at the courses and I think I'd struggle with some of them) but I don't want to do just an ICT one either so I'm sticking to my Open Degree and combining courses from both degrees I need 360 points to get the degree and the courses I've selected come to 400

Now I really should go and wash some dishes and do some more studying.

Hi ladies!

Ok, before I start with my list - I have a new aluminium bathroom cupboard covered in fingerprints as it has only just gone up on the wall. Any clues on how to clean it? You can PM me if you don't want to clutter up the thread.. Any hints would be helpful!

Ok, my Daily list
Feed the cat at least twice
Spray the bathroom with the bleach spray
Sort and delete emails
reply to emails
Complete an hours click thrus
Do pending surveys
Do at least 30 mins STP

Extras:
check QVC has refunded my money
Write cheques
Ask OH to go to BS and pay bills
Wash hair (my OH has to help with this so it isn't as simple as it sounds!)
Bake some cheese and onion rolls
Make more ginger 'nobnobs'

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

hugs to all - enjoy your day flying!

Count me in for this week guys, although it is a bit hit and miss as having just come back from a weeks holiday in Dorset, I am still trying to catch up with the washing. Plus DH is still off for another week so we are technically still on "holiday" till next Monday. But the house needs work doing to it, how on earth can two people cause so much mess when the house was left lovely, clean and tidy when we went away last week, and after only two days home it is a tip..lol I blame DH...

MSD - You could try a bit of baby oil? It usually gets fingerprints off stainless steel so I presume it works on Aluminium?

Dusty - Hope you feel better soon x

Deniseflower - Thanks, I had the pre-payment meters put on when they decided to up my DD payments to ridiculous amounts I just couldn't afford. Luckily what I'd pre-payed cover the bill with a bit left over so I'm still in credit I'm just annoyed at how much they said I've used I was expecting half that really.

Just nipped home for a sarnie and I'm back out again in a minute

Keep up the good work ladies, you're all doing marvellous things

Dozy me has just realised that today's list is for the kitchen - err can I be let off this one please as we are going out to look for a new kitchen today/tomorrow, and with any luck it will be fitted within the next fortnight (stepbrother is doing it for us..:) )

The last thing I want to do is scrub the backboards etc.. I just want to take a sledge hammer to it..lol

Oh wait I have just now realised I have to remove everything that is in the cupboards in the meantime..oh shoot!! Still good excuse for a major declutter I think

Thank you.. I did try to explain it as simply as possible.. noone needs big words when 10 little ones suffice!

Those of you chatting about magnetic bracelets, plasters, etc. - do you think they would help with my arm? If so, where do I get them and what might work best? I've been taking painkillers now for nearly 5 months and tbh I'd like to wean myself off them!!

Can they make it worse?? ... there you go then!
