    Beds remade going in search of food now i'm starving. Since i've been on these antibiotics i've been hungry all the time.:confused: Proper rumbling tummy.

    I've been laughing at the thought of everyone falling in freezers:rotfl:.

    holly - I'm vertically challenged and once fell head first into a chest freezer in Asda - I think your balance must be better than mine :o

    :rotfl: Oh you lot are so funny :D Don't think I've ever fallen into a freezer, but then I'm 5' 8" with long legs :o
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Hi guys...
    I've managed to wash my bedlinen and thats it, today!! Perhaps I should just give up on writing lists this week?? DH is away next week so I'll hopefully catch up properly then...though we've got people coming over for lunch on Sunday so I need to make sure its tidy for then!
    I guess I'm just going to having to get my finger out but it feels like one of those weeks. I'm not particularly great this time of year.
    Its my DD1's parent evening tonight but I think I'm just going to send DH, I've got the Tesco man arriving.

    I haven't caught up any posts either...sorry...(what a lazt cow I am this week!!) so I hope you are all doing ok. xxx

    Still on strike feel so ill but I will get there,
    :wave: Wins in 09 = A vodka cocktail kit thing lol, £150 Amazon voucher.
  • I'm new to the site, but would love to join this challenge! :T

    We moved to America when DH was transferred to a new job about two years ago. As a result, I'm a bit behind (it's currently only 7:22 am). So far, I've only washed up the breakfast dishes and thawed chicken breasts for several meals I'll prepare today.
    welcome to the thread kc - fantastic that you want to join from across the atlantic - this thread will give you loads of encouragment and support - we are a really friendly bunch bt be warned we can be tough when we think you are slacking ha ha ha!!!!! just dive in and go with whatever room is on the list for the day and in a couple of weeks you will see a difference - baby steps - dont try to do it all at once and enlist hubby and any family if you can - it makes life easier.
    remember there is no such word as failure here - whatever you do is success and should be listed - you are up and have already done some jobs so well done to you for starting!

    welcome to the really mad house!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
