not sure i want to get into bed tonight now, especially as i just been showered!:shocked:

Well my mattress is lovely and clean (so is my bedding), but I'm off to have a bath... which isn't exactly going to get me clean, just marinade me in my own dirt :rolleyes: but it might help me sleep.

ETA - and I remembered to do my exercises this evening (OK, so I forgot Monday evening, all day yesterday, and this morning, but its a start... I've got two and a half weeks to my next assessment so I might get away with it!

Evening everyone :beer: I'm sitting up much later than usual as I have to collect DS from his school trip at midnight :eek: :eek: I'm a real lark, will be up at 6am, and don't really function late at night, so Imay be a bit slow tomorrow Anyhow, I did well today - cleaned a big kitchen cupboard, kitchen floor, paperwork, made a big batch of bolognaise and baked chocolate and toasted nut muffins, sponge cake, and banana carrot cake. I'm now writing myself a list for tomorrow and sorting some more paperwork.

See you all tomorrow, Penny. x

hello everyone! :hello:

i am finding it hard to stick to the lists at the mo, because although my house is in an atrocious state, I don't have time for the little by little approach, as I have to be able to let a gas safety inspector in as soon as poss. so I have to do what is neccessary for that, and then start doing the lists. so I have to have
[strike]1. the front door area clear and hoovered[/strike]
[strike]2. the stairs clear and hoovered[/strike]
3. the landing clear and hoovered
4. the bathroom clear and [strike]clean[/strike] almost clear now
5. the living room clear and hoovered

I have been crushing cans. DS has been crushing plastic bottles.
We have collected together lots of paper, leaflets etc.

[STRIKE]

[/STRIKE]all eaten up, yummy!!

where can ammonia be bought?

today I have done WM+ TD/radiators/airer

bagged up 3.5 bags of rubbish
sorted out 2 boxes for recycling

I am really starting to see how exciting this can be, when you can see how much you've done, that you wouldn't normally have done.:T

I am also beginning to see that I will be able to sort the mess out, it seems less of a mountain to me:rotfl:

for some reason i kept losing my internet connection today, which has been frustrating , and slowed things down:mad:

my landing is so small, i'll definately manage that tomorrow, and i'll try to do a bit more in the bathroom, kitchen and living room

johanne what a lovely OH you have, helping that lady, you must be proud!
LilySue YAY for rubber gloves, what would we do without them?!:rotfl:

I'm off to bed in a bit
hugs to all who need them
well done everyone on all you are achieving:T

lil_me

Mudbath, no it doesn't come with rechargables, no you don't need to buy one but I find them useful (and less wasteful than normal batteries), I got one cheap on www.memorybits.co.uk via quidco when I was ordering other stuff.
*moggins* welcome home!
soappie hope you get sorted soon
AnWsMum thank you, do let me know how much I owe you!

Dentist reminder, thank you, no not for me but the boys both need one (loose dentist here if you don't go for check ups)

Everything seems to be happening at the mo, got my appointment through for assessment with physio at the end of this month, 3 have swapped DPs phone (ongoing issue with them breaking it!!) HP are sending someone out to look at laptop on Friday (I lost my head with them on the phone) conference thingamy tomorrow, loads of other stuff aswell I have missed but things are definately happening for a change.

I'm going to get myself off to bed, out all day tomorrow so will probably catch up with you all tomorrow night xx
