Right going to start today positive and hope it stays positive! Mr G is on nights tonight so I have him all day apart from when he has a quick nap this afternoon. So hopefully my sanity will hold out!
Think I should mostly manage level one, then vacuuming and cleaning the sinks, toilets etc. I know there are some days that 3 toilets to clean seems like far too much :rotfl: Extras I need to do as well although I'm not sure about the binbag dance. Anyway shall see how far we can get!
Actually going to delete the ones I don't think I'll manage to do, keep the ones I will and then hopefully crossing off everything will be a huge bonus!

Morning lovelies! :wave:
Good Luck with your interview Summermoon you'll be fab x
Hmmmm did I say I was in this week good and proper - I lied! I've done diddly squat.....kept the place ticking over by way of dailies but that's it, I'm so dissapointed with myself but in my defence I've hardly been in the house to do any, life the last few weeks suddenly became hecticwhat can I say. I have however done the flylady cards and will be posting them inbetween work jobs today so that's one thing crossed off my massive to-do list.
It's snowingit was raining :j but it's turned to snow
boo hiss! my car wouldn't start yesterday morning so two hours later I'd found someone to help me (OH who I dragged out of bed) cancelled the customer I was supposed to be at and one new battery later - it worked - phew such a relief, hope it starts today tho.......( I skidded on the ice yesterday too whilst returning from work - freaked me right out! :eek: I was very tentative the rest of the journey. Right, TD dragged in to dining room cause [strike]I can't be assed to find[/strike] couldn't find the extension lead, have to pop the hose through the window so I'll wait till I go out to work so I don't have to suffer the coldness.
I've opened my advent calendar (the child that I am - but it's a proper one none of this chocolate malarky for me - the kids have them tho) got my bag ready for work, opened curtains/tidied - tho there wasn't much, packed littley off to school and was just pondering whether to get this for DD1 http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=121308 it's not on my list tho so an extra pressiedunno.....
Off to work now, see ya's later :hello: x0 -
