    Someone sort me out please! I can't think what I need to do :rotfl:

    Too much to do...too little time....so I'll spend that time thinking and not doing!

    *sharp slap to bring Gryfon out of her hysteria*

    Start in one room, in one corner... delegate what you can.. and remember.. people are coming to see YOU not the state of the house...

    Deep breath and go..

    If that fails.. start by clearing the dirty pots.. then the laundry.. then the toys...

    Tag - no ironing on your list (x15)?


    Umm no. I only have 4 things sitting on the ironing board;) Can't bring myself to do it till the load in the airning cupboard is dry enough to iron:o:o
    I know. I am very sad:p
  • :hello: to newbies teapartymum, fireangel, sarahrunner1, jamla, alwayshappy,tillitot,scrooge2008, gsysezz (sezz) and cashsaver

    tooch - hugs about friends dad - there are too many good people being lost at the mo - loving thoughts winging your way - son't worry about saying the wrong thing just don't avoid them

    hellsbells - hugs for your puss and your family

    froddington - remember you're still 1.5 stone lighter than you started last year and well done on clearing your ironing mountain - hope the burn's ok

    kaz - just wait til your Wii fot starts nagging you for not visiting enough (i can get that from my mum!)

    lazymoo - try setting up a list of dailies/stuff you need to do immediately then add level 1 from pigpen's list - if you manage that then well done and you can move up further levels if you've time/inclination but don't feel you've got to - it all comes round again and we don't do guilt trips on here (just to AnW'smum after she set the ironing challenge :D) - i'm another HP addict too!

    skintchick - if your hamster bites, it might be able to smell food on your fingers

    ragz - ......and breathe - only a few more days til you can get rid of the tree - maybe use this time to think of a [STRIKE]piling[/STRIKE] system that will work better for you - it will take time but you'll feel you're making a start - hang on in there - have you thought of freecycle for some temporary furniture?

    summermoon - congrats on new pink jelly bean to coo over

    Note to anyone still with Brit trip vouchers from Walkers - they need to be booked by today or they'll be lost

    pigpen - thanks again for the list - glad you survived Xmas after the kitchen bonfire!

    Thanks pigpen! Needed that :)

    Ok going to put washing on then make mushroom soup to freeze before these mushrooms go completely manky!

    BTW I presume I can freeze mushroom soup if I've added milk to it? Or would I be better off adding milk/cream when we come to eat it?
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!
