    :hello: Morning all! Got back from the school run about 5 minutes ago and just checking e-mails, forums etc and drinking my warm coffee (made before I took the children to school) and then I'll get on. Mr G is at work this morning and I usually get loads done when he's not around to distract me!

    Ok here's a thing...do I do what's on the list and hope that over the weeks everything catches up. Or do I just go and clean the lounge, kitchen etc which I seem to do every day and not get very far! Answers on a postcard please... :D
