Good Morning All, well I have been flying all morning and I'm now just having a tea break (please tell me it gets easier lol, it has taken me the best part of 2 hours to declutter our living room and hall :eek: ). Quick question for the stars - does everything have to be done on the day it says or does it count if I go back and do things I missed later in the week? Hope everyone is having a productive day too,

I've discovered that the seal on the fridge (Landlord's responsibility) has gone. Wondered why it wasn't that cold in there. Also the paint on ceiling of the microwave (ours) is peeling. And the boiler (Landlord's) hasn't been heating water since last week unless we put the boost on for about six hours. I guess I'm going to be phoning the lettings agent today.I hate having to do that, especially if more than one thing has broken at once. The trouble is that everything in here is so old it's a wonder it's lasted as long as this. We've lived here for a year and a half and it looks like it's all been here since the 80's! The bathroom is awful! We had to have all the pipework redone when we moved in as the pipes were running uphill and nothing drained away! It took 2 hours for th bath to drain, and if you flushed the loo/had the washing machine on water bubbled up in the bath! I hate it here.
DH has phoned up about th modem which disconnects itself constantly and only reconnects if you unplug it and then plug it in again."Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."

Tired Mummy - you dont have to do it all on the day!! No wonder you are a tired mummy!! You can catch up in the week. It does get easier, I PROMISE!!
But dont start off doing all three levels, just to Level One to begin with, then do Level One and Level two....build up to it gradually. You may find it eaiser.
Next week, cos youve done so much it will be easier next week as you will find less clutter when you start!!
Your doing really well lovely xxSometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying

It doesn't matter what day you finish tired mummy - if you finish mon on thu, then you get a star, extras aren't necessary, just a bonus
Builders called off work for today cause was raining too heavily to do the pointing - suits me, so I'm catching up round the house - didn't get much done yesterday as was kernacked and felt penned in - gonna have a bit of a relax for half an hour then off to the supermarket to stock up for the weekI'd rather be watching CSI!0 -

When you post (click post reply as this gives you more options) then highlight what you want to cross out and then click on the s with a line through it (it's above the box you write in).
