Hi Everyone

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who sent prayers and good thoughts for my mil. The hospital didn't think she would make it through Saturday night, but she has, and we are still waiting to hear about surgery. I've been so touched by your support as I'm new to this thread and don't know you all that well...you're such a friendly bunch!

It's kind of a miserable start to the week here, dh is still coughing, ds3 still coughing but has made it to school, ds2 sent home from school as boiler has broken down, Aunt Flo has visited me early and my get up and go has dissappeared!

However I have noticed low as I'm feeling, that having my house just a tiny bit tidier is helping me cope with our rather crazy life at the moment...so I must plough on.......here therefore is my list:D

Monday - Master bedroom & landing
Level One
[strike]Strip and wash sheets
[/strike][strike]Vacuum and turn mattress before replacing clean [/strike]sheets
Level Two
15 minutes floordrobe clearance
Wash windows
Vacuum floors
Level Three
[STRIKE]Dust and deweb[/STRIKE]
Wipe paintwork
Sort through a cupboard.. make it neat and tidy and get rid of what you no longer wear/need/use
Extras

1. Sort through a box of junk fom the landing
2. [STRIKE]Binbag dance[/STRIKE]
3. Collect all the dirty laundry from upstairs!
4. HHI

MACAW ~ Computer off at 10.30pm, bed by 10.45...eek!

Close unwanted bank accounts - sorted 4, three more to do
Returns to shop - when I find the receipt
call Carphonewarehouse to complain - busy, will try later
Email Ebay seller to say item is faulty - next to do!!
get car fixed - being done at 4

Think I am going to do basic cleaning for the next few weeks and then blitz the house in one week before I move as I'm already hyperventilating at my list!!!
Have a good week everyone[/quote]

Oh doing quite well!! OH is off sick so looking after him, kids gone to school so will do a S&S of the house after emailing the Ebay seller.

DD and I are decluttering ... gone so far:

• teabag into the bin
• a tube of milkyway buttons between us
• a packet of biscuits
• the end of the cheese

:rotfl::rotfl: No other flying is currently taking place. I've been subjected to HSM1 and my brain is mush now and I just can't get my head around my studies. I've tried but I can't . Off to do some "more brain training" in the hopes of kicking my brain into gear. :wave:

The list is looking good so far but I do need to do a big tidy on DD1's bedroom and iron what seems like the contents of everyone's wardrobes.

Summermoon...hope you're feeling a bit better. The weather does get you down this time of year...are you feeling a bit hormonal too? I know I get very down when its that time of the month. Hugs to you too Rosepink.

My motivation went as soon as I sat down to eat lunch. Now I'm watching The Diary of Anne Frank that I sky +'d the other week and munching on the last piece of Christmas cake.

Afternoon all.

I've got all my jobs done in town, did a good deed for a friend by taking her sons jacket to get its initials printed on with my sons. Felt good to get rid of all the scrap to the scrap store - garage looks an incy wincy bit tidier.

Random thought - do any of you remember issi noho?

Lilysue I'm glad your MiL is still hanging in there

Summer, rose and anyone else feeling down - eat more chocolate, get more daylight and put it down to AFs imminent arrival.

Boddy hope your Mum was ok and enjoyed your visit

Polly - you are getting on great - which blind man is coming? I need a blind for the ktichen, the window has been bare since I decorated in September!

We have just had a big hail shower here so I'm not doing my outside jobs just yet.

Toots - well done on the ebay, I hang my head in shame and salute you. The worms are in the wormery. I didn't bubble wrap them so they may have frozen to death during the extended cold spell.

Soappie - hope you first day back at the other site went well.

Right HHC anyone 14:00-14:30
