    Some do.. but anything that gets done that you wouldn't normally do is a bonus surely?

    Have looked at the book list and read 25 of them. Some of them like The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist brought back memories.

    I work full time and commute 1.5 hours each way. I do manage but I don't have kids and we're both naturally tidy-ish which helps!

    Start slowly and you will notice the difference. once it gets to a decent level you'll find it much easier to keep on top of it. Depending on what time I get in I often have stuff left for the weekend.

    Serena - crocus picture here on the garden photos thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=19160189#post19160189 Post 48

    Toots - I had a lovely birthday thanks. Bought myself a latch hook rug kit for something to do. DH thinks his thing went well, wont know the outcome for some time though.

    My HHG turned into an hour and a half, had to stop, the green waste bin is full as are all four compost heaps. Just off to wash my hair (much faster now it is short) then go and get the boys. Must finish todays list and hoover everywhere when I get back.
