Rose he is fine now thanks, singing at the moment!

Don't get demoralised. Scrap last weeks list. No carrying over, you know the routine it will all be on there again in the future. Look at what you have done and not what you haven't REMEMBER LISTS ARE A SUGGESTION ONLY.

Sorry for making your DS a DD, I need glasses! Or to take more time to read things! Glad he is happier now.

Thanks for your encouragement too. I've washed up and (see below) so am happier now. Am going to have the evening off! It is the weekend after all!

sexy since you asked so nicely and he has made a huge effort I have awarded him a star

Thank you toots! He'll be over the moon (no pun intended) when he sees that when he gets home - he's literally just left to go to his shooting club. The best bit, is he did all of that without a single complaint - now that is unheard of in this house!

As I'm posting, will update my list again:

Weekend list!!
For everyone to share!!! If you get all these done Auntie Toots may find a golden sparkly star for you!!
1. [strike]Portion up the soup to freeze[/strike]
2. S&S the kitchen & wash up
3. Wash any bedding that has been neglected
4. Vacuum a neglected room

Off to do the washing up now. See you in a bit - I plan to try and get all of my list finished within the next 20 minutes. See you at 7.00pm.

Welcome Beadle - Toots, our meeter and greeter will doubtless be in touch with you soon. But, thought I'd let you know that any moment now, we'll be going onto a new weekly thread so do look out for it!

toottifrootti

rosepink well done - you just have to keep your eye on the ball so to speak - dont worry about all the lists and feeling if you are getting behind -just aim to do level 1 - then level 2 and then level 3 - if it takes you all week what does it matter and that way at least one of your areas is getting a good going over every week and I am sure you can manage to keep the other rooms tidyish with a S&S. if you manage more then thats a bonus - I wouldnt post anymore than 2 or 3 things to do as it is only getting you down.
You have done very well this week so aim to maintain it next week!!!
beadle - hello and welcome - will send you a pm in a mo.

juliejim job 38 is to finish off toxic's cardi - which would be good to get rid of that - after all this time!!! will have to make time to do it in the daytime as its black! BUT IT WILL BE DONE - I feel better now that I am getting caught up with my knitting - still loads of projects to be done but that will keep me occupied.

rosepink just forget the big long list and post your small one and work on that - babysteps remember - you will only make yourself more miserable if you keep looking at what you havent done - you must only post what you have done - be positive!!!! you can do it!

I think it was because I wanted another star! I'm happier now!
When I cleaned the bathroom I cleaned the sink, loo and tiles as specified, the outside of the loo, door handles, and skirting boards - all the bits that normally get forgotten, so I'm very pleased with that. Do I get a special star for effort!
Just seen your post above mine, thanks for all your encouragement.xx

Am catching up on the thread now

Toots - do you HAVE to finish toxic's cardi? Does she really deserve it? Will she really appreciate it? Would it be better to unravel it all and make it into smaller items for,e.g. Jacob? Just a wicked thought;)

ETA I just realised you said the wool is black. But, black could be nice on babies if you did a bit of colourful applique or embroidery in wool on it when it's finished
