    Does anyone read anyone else's list

    Yes I do! :rotfl:

    I so very nearly wimped out on my list as I got carried away washing windowsills and hoovered through the lounge all the way to the edges, BUT I soldiered on and got there in the end. Ironing left: just one Duvet cover and a pair of jeans currently in WM. There's only a few bits left in dirty laundry basket, but not enough to make a full load. Imagine by tomorrow night I could have zero ironing. :eek:

    5. post parcels x 2 (they are so late)

    7. move kitchen cupboard from utility back into kitchen (had to remove it to fit cooker in when we moved in 2007 but freezer now gone so it may fit in that space)

    I am in for this week - hope to improve on last week as this was a poor effort by me and not helped by having the DD and DS home from school/college and generally getting in the way.

    Working the rest of the week but off today - so we will see how far I get with the list plus extras.

    Right off to shower now then start tackling the kitchen which is not as bad as last week but still a mess.

    GnB - ((((hugs)))) for you and LO

    sexymouse - you're in serious danger of being labelled a swot :p well done on getting so much done so early!

    Triker - hope everything is OK. I wouldn't be surprised if recent events haven't exhausted you... maybe your GP will prescribe a week at a spa so you can rest!

    I've spent another hour on the drive, and it's finally cleared... the last metre was pretty much solid ice thanks to all those nice people who'd been reversing over the pavement and into my drive :mad: . Hopefully the rain will now have a chance of melting the broken up bits that are piled on the pavement and edge of the road.

    So I'm in serious need of a shower before I go to reflexology, and am contemplating cancelling my gym appointment this afternoon because a. it's in Basingtoke and it might start snowing before I leave b. I could usefully use the time to get a few bits and pieces of shopping done in Newbury (I [strike]need [/strike]would like proper fruit juice, organic eggs & veggies etc) and c. clearing the drive is more than enough exercise for one day thanks :D

    Morning everyone.

    We had snow here during the night. Had to get up at 2am to let the cat out. He cries and jumps on me when he wants out even though I have put a litter tray down. Ive been keeping him in during this weather.

    I will also be packing more boxes in prep for the move to the new house in about a month!
