    Hi All

    Well it wasn't a bad week last week, although I think I was kidding myself with the decorating 2 bathrooms. Perhaps I'll wait till the spring to start on it. Wouldn't be quite so bad if I didn't have all the new towels and accessories sat in my bedroom just waiting to be used!:o

    So on to this week, back to work on Monday so time will be more limited and motivation lower!

    This week I will:


    [STRIKE]Defrost freezer [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Make a list of freezer contents [/STRIKE]
    Meal plan for the week
    [STRIKE]Go shopping[/STRIKE] done online instead
    Hoover landing and stairs
    Complete and return HB form – take to work on Monday
    Sort out bookcase in bedroom again and re-home books not wanted
    Sort out toiletries
    Put washing away
    Find homes for Christmas presents
    Polish, tidy and hoover lounge
    [STRIKE]Make tags from Christmas cards[/STRIKE]recycling bin
    Clean outside downstairs windows 1/2/3/4/5-weather dependant
    Write emails to friends
    Find instructions for heating timer and set
    Press mac and sew on button
    Sort out Weight Watchers recipes from magazines
    Take down Christmas tree and put away in loft
    Sweep leaves from drive weather permitting
    Drop off bedlinen to Freecycler
    [STRIKE]Pick up a Filofax refill from somewhere..check ebay[/STRIKE]
    Wash rug and find new home for it
