Hugs for you Serena and well done to your sons - people like that make me really angry! Was anyone hurt? Was there any damage done to your car? Hope you're feeling a bit better after your cake and chocolate, and hope DD gets well soon. Well done for doing your lists. I was wondering where you were today as I hadn't seen you about IYSWIM. I'm doing supply all day tomorrow and Thursday morning, so apart from the small headstart I got this morning, I'll probably be catching up on Friday too (provided I'm not doing any supply that day).

Just finishing my cup of redbush then I'll be off to MIL's (next door - it's a long way to go lol) for dinner.

See you all later,

Well not too great a start to Week one Day one but at least it's a start.

Think I'll stick to level one for a while - gonna start on todays list in a mo.

3 good things about yesterday's list - The bread etc is now in the pot bread crock and not lying on top of the FF - the eggs are now in the hen egg holder and NOT in their boxes AND - I have found my ear-rings.
You might think the 3rd one is peculiar but ... every Xmas I wear diferent xmassy ones every day in December and last December I couldn't find the largeish box they were in so I had less adorned ears. The box has now been found - it has had a holiday for a year!!! between the top of the microwave and the bottom of a wall cupboard.

I AM NAMING AND SHAMING MYSELF !!!

BUT - on the up-side ... it was lovely to come downstairs today to a kitchen which was uncluttered ...... I WILL GET THERE EVENTUALLY

Now - where is my hall and the stairs !!!!!! ????

I'll join you Toots!

well done domino - level 1 is great for starters - if you can do level one everyday of the week next week you will find its so much easier to do a bit more - you might not manage all of level 2 next week but you will do extra jobs and thats the best way to build it up.
I agree it is nice to walk into a nice tidy kitchen in the morning - it still makes me smile and thats after a year!!!

ok anyone joinging in the HHC lets go!!

ready steady go!

kazwookie

Ok dinner cooked (fish tonight and mash) eaten, washing up done.

Put wheelie bin out, but couldn't sort out where, as OH dug people back into their houses to day, he dumped the snow where the wheelie bin goes!!!!

But the neighbours are happy with him, as they can now park and get up the drive here.

pigpen

Wednesdays list is up... go have fun!!!

In my HHC I finished the rest of the cupboard fronts and all the kickboards, the big appliances and the last worktop and shined the sink!
