    I've totally failed today. After a really good start to the week. I had good intentions but with an 11 month old touching everything while I was trying to sort out....I gave up. I managed to strip his cot bedding and sort ou a big pile of clothes that are now spread all over the floor!
    I will try and get some done later but need to cook dinner and I went on a mamouth shop today in the pouring rain and I don't want to stress too much or I'll give up altogether...What's the best tactic for days like this? To try and get it done tomorrow as well or just to leave it until next time?...Obviously I will strip the bed tomorrow!

    I've had enough of work... I seem to spend my whole time filing emails so I can send things out!

    I'm off to do some baking... I want to see whether I can make red velvet cupcakes, and then possibly some pink ones, and then whether I can be bothered to make any more after that!

    melliec - a lot of us find we start the week well but struggle later in the week.
    My suggestion would be to do what you have to to make it passable for this week, e.g. put the clothes away but leave the cleaning list until the same room's list comes around next week.

    When you first start the best thing is to just do level one the first week, level 2 the second and so on.

    :o:o:o in my defence though the fire people were meant to be coming on monday but they cancelled and are coming in march instead... we did have some but they went off everytime you cooked anything they were that sensitive so i got rid of them:o our stairs are in the kitchen so i couldn't shut the door (it was on the landing) when i was cooking to stop it from happening
  • heather38 I remember now - yes you were looking forward to the hunky men in uniforms:rotfl: :rotfl: soorrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee I will let you off!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: I was getting carried away with concern!!!:rolleyes:
