    Hi,

    I read a small part of this thread but it, and the sunshine have motivated me to do a little housework. So I have done the Monday chores, Hoovered my bedroom, changed the sheets and dusted, and my god did it need it!!. So thanks for the inspiration, I can get on with my studying now.

    Just one question though, where are the other days chores?#

    Hi everyone...

    Got DS2 off school today with the dreaded flu bug thing that's going round.. managing to get little bits done though as he is in bed watching Friends DVDs (I'm sure they cure everything!) Am forgetting about his room but have done bits in DS1's room (even though he is 16 and quite capable of doing it himself but he doesn't like to prove this to me and I cannot stand the mess any longer!!! :D )

    Have also S&S'd kitchen and bathroom

    Still to do:

    HHI
    finish bits not crossed off above list

    Hope everyone ok..

    G&B - loved that story.. very inspiring.. I will copy it and print it out if you don't mind

    Flylady - loved yours as well... so very true.. will print that one out as well!! :D

    I love little stories like that but I don't know anyone who gets them so they can't email them to me!!!

    Afternoon all

    I cannot beleive it is nearly 2 o'clock already.

    Flower and G&B thanks for the stories - I loved them both

    Flower - I've got a teenage boy (joy of joy I'll have 2 in a couple of months). I am an evil witch. I stand at the washing machine saying I am doing a black wash now bring me your troussers, socks and shorts - they do - whatever they are doing they will have to stop and go and get them. PE kit on the floor I go into the living room and say please take the pe kit upstairs now and put it in the wash, they have to do it. If they don't do it straight away they will forget so I don't give them that opportunity. They still don't do it independantly but saves me stressing.

    Lil_me hugs re DP it's not my place to comment but I hope you sort something out which makes you feel better.

    I've done my ironing today and been to the galleria. Just having a short break and then I'm going up to do a child bedroom - I don't feel like it but it has to be done.

    Well Toots I got fairly distracted looking at the mankiness of my microwave but its now clean so thats ok. Cleared up some clutter from the living room as well, put a load of washing on, and sorted the dry washing for ironing, so HHI coming up later I think.. Going to have a shower now then do some studying - exam in French Civilisation and Culture next week ahhhhh...

    Hope everyone is having a good day
