    This weeks MACAW (Make a Change a Week challenge... ) Basically you choose one thing you would like to change about your lifestyle, your habits or whatever you fancy and incorporate it into a new way of life.. anything from cooking one meal a week from scratch, learning a new skill, shining your sink every day, reducing your alcohol consumption, doing some exercise.. whatever you fancy! This is only for those who WANT to participate and being run alongside flylady rather than being part of it.

    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is.............. Do 5 - 10mins of my exercise video each day

    Stardrops FTW! My God, is that stuff awesome or what? Bath, sink, windows, loo (with a wipe-over from an antibacterial wipe afterwards). Is there nowt it can't shift? :D

    OK, I'm pooped (was falling asleep in my chair earlier) and achy, but all-save-one of my tasks are done. To be honest, I'm going to shunt the desk-clean over to tomorrow. I put the duster and polish back downstairs under the sink and there's no way on earth I'm shifting myself to go back down and get it!

  • I think I get it and am trying to understand all.Have relatives from Italy staying so limited as to what I can get on with but it does mean I was quite tidy to start with.Mind you every where looks a bit bare and dusty with the decos down.Am also going back to WW on Wed as I need to lose .5 stone by Feb as I am going on a cruise.

    ... curtain poles up... my mum's sewn tapes on the seat cushions for my kitchen chairs so they won't keep falling off (she made the cushion covers several years ago too :D ), and is currently letting down the old kitchen curtains so they'll fit now the new pole is up...

    ... supper is in the oven (she did that too), and I'm just off to make a few more cakes!

    Anna to cross things out, you go advanced and highlight the text that you want crossed out and click on the S with a line through it on the toolbar. It'll come up with the word strike on each side of the words highlighted, but it does strike them out on the post.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
