    Throw out any chipped mugs.. the porous pottery harbours bacteria.. YUK!! Can I be excused this one? Most of my mugs plates etc have chips, but will look into replacing them all when I have some spare dosh!

    What about asking on Freecycle? People are often giving stuff like that away on there and then you can have nice UNCHIPPED plates and cups... ;) I need to replace a lot of mine and was thinking about it at the weekend - Pigpen is psychic you know!!!

    This is what I need to do as well as the lounge! Just off for a HHC - which will probably end up being at least 45 minutes.

    Done the lounge and the striked out bits - except the kitchen floor which I'm just about to do. Then I'm going to go and pick DS up from school, so I probably won't get a chance to catch up until tomorrow.

    I'm making a big pan of minestrone soup to go with the garlic and herb rolls DD1 has made at school today!

    Ow ow owwwww! My Tuesday tinklings have been reduced to a Tuesday trudge. I was so careful walking into work this morning that I did something (God knows what) to the bones/tendon/muscle/bloody SORE bit on the outside of my left foot. Then, because I was trying to walk in a way that didn't make that hurt, my other foot started hurting! I managed to hobble home after eight agonising hours on my feet at work, and collapse into a chair, but I'm staying on me bum for the remainder of the day. Just going to do tomorrow's packed lunch, and level one (wipe counters and sweep floor).

    *sniffle* :(
    I was cut out to be rich, but got sewn up wrong.

    OK i have heard of flylady, the wesite, so is this the same?
    What happens, do you post these lists from the website?
    So, if you follow what these lists say your house will gradually become clean and stay clean?

    Oh i bet i sound so thick lol!

    I'd love to join in but i just don't fully get it??
    :starmod: May all your wishes come true! :starmod:

    Doh, really loosing it as just posted this on the grocery challenge by mistake... thought I was awake now...

    I have done absolutly nothing today, I was all organised, then ran out of puff and had to have a bit of a kip (turned into 1 1/2 hours) after which I was fit for even less, but I have just had a bath and am feeling awake now... ;) (or so I thought...:o )

    So I am just sorting out the paperwork (HAVE to get this done today) DS will be in in a minute and once he's had a bath I will do the bathroom...

    Only me and hubby for dinner tonight as DS is going out for the christmas meal with the staff at the club (he works as a pot boy so was invited)... Not sure what to do - there is curry in the freezer, might do that with some rice for hubby and an omlette or something for me (don't like curry... :p )

    If you see me chatting on here and not posting what I have done - NAG ME!!! :o :rotfl:
