  • Rose_tinted - Welcome :hello:, enjoy and don't over do it! As others have said, your home didn't get in a mess in one day, so it won't be cured that quickly. Little steps. My few jobs didn't take very long and I have to keep resting as I'm on sick leave (pleurisy), so it's do a job, rest for 10 minutes, do another etc.....

    Oh and don't you dare try and do it all at once! Pick Level 1 for today (or your own list) and do that. If you have time or energy, you can go on to Level 2 etc. You will have your own list of dailies. Normally one of mine is to walk the dogs, but can't do that just now, but other things like loading washing machine, tumble dryer etc, swish and swipe bathroom, kitchen, would be dailies, but these are just quick tidy round jobs, with the deeper clean on different days IYSWIM. Anyhow, you'll love it on here and get loads of encouragement and support - not just with flying!

    Just popped back to check my list. I'm extending my hhc to 230 to get everything finished.

    Dusty - the nunchuck was reduced to £7 because I pointed out the box was ripped. I think it should have been £9 something.

    Zaza - we've got a tesco express five minutes walk away though I try to avoid it because it's so expensive.

    Pink fairy - ummmmm, i've forgotton what you said!!! Just kidding - I'm getting way to many senior moments at the moment...it's scary. Right, back to flying xx

    No delivery - no surprise. Sharp email about to be sent. I hate companies that promise a set time delivery and then just don't turn up.

    I'm off downtown soon to take out large amounts of cash and then go and pick up the PS3.

    Still lovely sunshine here, and I rather wish I could just go and potter in the greenhouse for the afternoon. I still have plants and a few crops in there that need sorting ready for the winter.

    dustykitten - sounds like you've done loads today!

    mudbath - how are you feeling now? Is the rash going?

    pink fairy - and how are you as well? Taking it easy and getting better I hope!

    AnW's mum - What a lovely picture of Miss A!

    pigpen - best of wishes for you getting through this week - sounds like uphill work...

    :hello:to all the flyladies whom I haven't mentioned by name, because I forgot to make notes when I was reading through the thread!
