    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is..............to keep my bedroom tidy and not let it get cluttered with non-bedroom stuff!

    My tasks for this week - if I can mange before wednesday - going to see the dragon lady!!!
    1. check out electricity/gas suppliers for better deal - to finish
    2. send info to debt counsellor friend
    3. check out house insurance deals
    4. buy dragon lady's birthday present!!!
    I found my motivation somwhere this afternoon and I have been busy and have got the bedroom more or less sorted - still have stuff to put back which will be part of the lounge list tomorrow because thats where it is!!!! I will be sleeping in my bed tonight - all clean and looking inviting!!!! The walls and ceiling have all been brushed, the radiator cleaned, and the furniture cleaned and polished as it went back. Please note I WILL NOT be putting everything back!!!! I am going to try to make it stay nice - which will be a HUGE challenge for me - in fact I think I will make that my MACAW for this week!

    welcome to all the newbies
    hugs and healing wishes for all the sickies
    good luck to all the teachers and children going back to school.

    hope everyone has a good week!!
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

    Thanks Pigpen for making it an easy start to the week. As its back to work for me and tomorrow is likely to be a long day, I need an easy flying day
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Count me in - although I am working quite a bit this week which doesn't help.

    I must do my october invoices tomorrow but pleased because I know I have had my best month since I started last December. Means I should be able to do something about buying a roll top bath for our en suite to be so need to clear mountains of paper and junk from our BR this week so we can put the new stud wall in ready.

    Mudbath - perfect age for the Wii. Mario Karts is brilliant - 3 yo to 70 yo happily play it here. It is a lot less technical than x box 360 or PS3, but also a lot more sociable.
