Edit it some more!! You don't NEED to clean one electrical appliance thoroughly.. it can wait while next week.. it will ALL be coming back round.. The drawer crumbs can wait! Drop the childrens rooms entirely.. they just mess them up again... and if a spare room isn't used that can wait too. Don't sort any cupboards.... see.. easy.. it WILL be back next week I'll make sure of it!! lol...

I just don't want to you to be overwhelmed by it all and run and hide.. lol

Toots.. much nicer list there.. I am trying to delegate some of mine..

Only here because I am uploading carp on ebay.. editted some old listings and whizzed them on..

Don't have children, so my list is actually a lot less scary than it looks. (But Toots, I do have a spare room), and I remembered to do the me-time on Friday and spent two hours having reflexology & a pedicure, even though it was a working day

Besides, I like lists, it gives me a sense of achievement when I cross things off

I have now washed all the floors downstairs, and hoovered them all upstairs.

Flinging will all happen in one go... when I clear out the garage tomorrow, so I want to get pretty much everything else sorted today. If it's not done by bedtime, it won't get done until it comes round again.

Thanks for the lists and [strike]nagging [/strike]constructive criticism Pigpen

I had that problem last week - I avoided hearing the result of the GP and starting watching the rerun in the afternoon BUT I went to check my emails, forgetting I have the sport headlines set to show on the homepage :mad: Hopefully, won't make that mistake again!!

What a good idea, I shall set this one defragging as well Might even get the Christmas cards out and start writing them confession. they never got put away properly from last yr!!!! I suppose in greenbee's terms that would be a task that is 44 weeks over due :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

toottifrootti

No AnW's Mum if you feel the need to write then write that letter of complaint to the school board or council or whoever while its all still fresh in your mind and then it wont be joining your to-do list!!!

I think the cards could wait another week!!!!

How come my list doesn't have that kind of thing on it?

OK... 40 minutes to tick more things off the list, then off shopping... farm shop for veg, supermarket for yogurt & more hot water bottles, homebase for LED lightbulbs as it's 10% off day...
