    ragz you've just reminded me I need to sort the lounge curtains. The children fell on them when they were closed and some of the eyelets have been pulled out of the rings, so I need to unhook those and then stick some glue in.
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Oddjob - that's a gorgeous piccie, i'm glad you managed to get uniform (it was you who couldn't get uniform small enough wasn't it). She looks so happy. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!

    I've got a friend popping round to walk the dogs in five minutes so i'm going to use that five minutes to s/s a bit.

    Just having a little lunch break.

    Progressing the the bedroom, wardrobe and chest of drawers now sorted. Pile of clothes on the bed to try on for a decision.

    Once I've done that I'll sort the stuff under the bed and then do the cleaning - hoping to get all that done in the 2 hours before the school run.

    Hellsbells - being kind to other people is really good for both souls - well done you

    Serena - I'm glad DD was well enough to go into school for a bit

    HH62 welcome and please don't fall at the first hurdle. I started (a couple of years ago now) with following the lists to the letter. Anything I didn't get done from the list that day I left and started a fresh the next day. It will take you a while but you will get there. Try that for a week and see how you go. There is no magic answer. I tend to do my own lists most of the time now as I can't get round the whole house in a week so I work to my own schedule but that would not have helped at the start. Some weeks I do a lot other weeks I'm too busy with other stuff to do the same amount. The key to to make a start, celebrate what you acheive.

    Right a little bit of chocolate I think and then back to the bedroom for me.

    Afternoon all,

    work for the week finished if only every week had a monday holiday:D

    mudbath - have you set up your dvd yet or do you need to wait for your OH, if waiting bet your itching to try it out.

    Oddjob - dd looks beautiful I can see how you struggled to get trousers to fit her, just remind her of this when she has stretched and they start to go up over the ankles.

    dusty- very clever DS I'm impressed at him emailing OH with a question, and smiling at OH emailing you for the answer..


    Just had lunch, need to put the WM and then its study time if I get a good run should get this TMA finished. Will be back after the school run for several HHC
  • Done the living room! :D

    Will do some HHC later & the bit of ironing from yesterdays washing. Todays washing is up & drying.

    Just having a rest for a bit atm
