I can't believe Mudbath hasn't finished tomorrow's list already!
Thanks Pigpen & Toots for the list and star charts. What with it being half term I expect that all the teachers (who msgnomey says have nothing to do) and those with their little darlings at home to help
will get 5 stars with no problems!
I'm working from home tomorrow (but have to go to the gym for a supervised session at 1.30, then back again for yoga @ 6.30 and pilates @ 7.40), and have the day off on Tuesday (meeting a friend for lunch and hopefully a walk, then yoga @ 7.45) so should get those days done and possibly get ahead. I've got family turning up at the end of the week (I think), and will be in Winchester for the weekend (meeting my brother's fiancee's dad on Saturday, then on Sunday we're all going to church to meet the vicar!)
I'll post my list later on... when hopefully most of it will be done!
Suppose I should look at that job application again before Toots starts nagging0 -
Greenbee - look at my edited post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0

Hello and thank you for welcoming me so kindly to your thread! I'm just going to aim for level 1 this week as it's my first week. I'm aiming to get all my jobs done by 7.30 each evening (don't get in from work until 6pm most nights so I'm hoping a 1.5 hour blitz will help improve the chaos which is our house!!!!) Looking forward to it!Everything will be ok in the end, if everything's not ok then it's not the end0

Hi everyone
I'll be joining in again. I found the list such a help. Did quite a bit in the kitchen today so shouldn't be too hard tomorrow (trys to convince herself!)
Night night see you in the morningI'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -
Hi all
Please count me in this week - have noticed that I am pink on the list :eek:
I guess that's because I don't think I posted a thing last week after my first post!!!!!!!!!!
Week went a bit pear shaped - Flooding, More snow and a 13 hour power cut and a broken freezer to sort out. Also was on a course and worked an extra day - everything fell apart :mad: - can't imagine how I managed when I worked full time?
I really admire all of you who seem to fit so much into your days.
Anyway - half term this week - am really going to try and get stuck in - am starting by printing a freezer inventory list for my shiny new freezer which arrived on Friday before it is so jammed I forget what's in it!
Have not had time to catch up with last weeks thread - hope everyone is well and those that are not/having a tough time have a better week this week.
Better print that list ...........................

OH has just called to say he is on his way home, and I've instructed him to do the dinner when he gets in as I'm off to have my bath.
Probably won't be on here again this evening, so I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend.
Night night all,
