    HHI done so one more star for me please toots :D:D:D

    I'm pleased to have done 3 whole lists - but I really should do something about the front room and middle bedroom :o TBH I'm not sure which to do first! If I do the middle bedroom, then stuff from the front room could go up there, but the state of the front room means I can't invite anyone in! May have to aim for a mad effort during the Easter hols to do both :eek:

    I'm waiting for the new thread as I want to see what list we have tomorrow but my pillows are calling me and DH keeps saying: "I'm going to bed now." I think he is hinting that he wants all the lights off so he can sleep! He's said it about 10 times now! He's still faffing about, so I can stay online a few more minutes!

    I think I'm going to have to spend every waking hour washing up tomorrow! We have stuff everywhere waiting to be washed up! We can't put anything more on the kitchen worktop, in the sink, on the hob, or on a tray balanced on top of the bin, so things are building up in the LR now. Please feel free to nag me tomorrow on this. I need to try to get a schedule going, maybe the first 15 mins of every hour will be spent washing up. Would anyone help me with reminders, nagging, kicks up the butt, bribes, shouting...anything else you can think of to get me out there doing it?

    froddy sounds more important to spend any spare time on the front room then - i am guessing your middle bedroom is not needed or seen so it could wait and if it gets a bit worse well............. and you could then do it in the hols???
    toots xx

    sorry wont be on during the day tomorrow rose - but you should set your mobile or an alarm and do it at the top of the hour for 15 mins then re-set your clock for the session.
    Peace will be mine

    Make a start whilst waiting for new list. I have sorted through some pw whilst i wait for it so i can crack on then when i get home from work tomorrow.;)

    Rose you are doing a great job with the cleaning and you know how good the house will look when its done so be a good girl and try your best. (positive praise works better than nagging :p )

    Hi Toots.... :wave: How are you lovie??? I'm fine thanks, we've been in Stoke on Trent today..... Big Gymnastics Competition at Fenton. Both DD1 &2 were competing, I was really proud of them. DD1 hadn't been in a big comp before, so, she did well to overcome her nerves.
    It was an inclusive competition and there were three clubs entered with special needs competitors. I was incredibly moved. The gymnasts were so proud of their accomplishments. I'm going to stop talking, because I'm really choked.
    Anyway, one of our team's coaches is trying to find a course so that she can start teaching/training children with special needs. Then my lovely DD3 could join in, and start training/competing with her sisters. Now wouldn't that be something! *blows nose* *sniff* *cough*

    Anyway.........
    Toots I haven't got a start date yet. It's going to be a while though, as the CRB checks are really slow in B'ham at the moment, (so I"m told) I am still chuffed to bits.

    Anyhoo, I've got a quieter week ahead, so hopefully I can get some stuff done on the house.

    Gotta go to bed, I ache from the cramped seats in the stadium today.
    See you all tomorrow flypeeps. :wave:
