    Level one, two, three- the spirit is willing but the body (back) is weak, so will not be partaking of today’s challenges. I did manage a kitchen s and s last night after making muffins and doing a washing, so not too bad anyway!
    Also from my own list:
    [strike]WM x 1[/strike]
    [strike]Hang up x 1[/strike]
    [strike]Nappies away x 1,2[/strike]
    [strike]Check e-mails[/strike]
    [strike]Make mince mix for lasagne base[/strike]
    [strike]Make soup[/strike]
    This weeks MACAW is to do back exercises every day:
    M (no time- bad girl!) T W T F S S
    All done.

    She vacuumed the back room and I sorted a binbag of shoes to recycle 12 pairs to ebay, 2 coats to go, 7 bags and moved a book case.. I am now half dead and she is nagging for dancing princesses on.

    It is Tiddles birthday next Tuesday!
