    Sorry, totally off topic, but this is quite amusing in a bizarre sort of way. We have ladders up trees in parkland to rescue the cat who doesn't want to come down.

    The police helicopter is now circling the area.

    I wonder if they think the ladder people are up to no good?

    If you read post 3 on the first page it tells you all about it. Basically you have to complete all 3 levels from one day's list,but it doesn't matter if you complete the list on another day (monday's list finished friday for example) and if you don't have something you don't have to do it (don't have dining table = can't clean it). Toots has explained it much better so check out post 3.

    catch ups...
    boddy well done on the weight loss
    soappie - what fun for those not involved - poor cat will be terrified no doubt!
    lilysue good to see you - hows MIL?
    polly I have used my discretion! I know you will have done all the lists by the time they appear!
    Summermoon you have said ALL DONE to todays list but there's still laundry on it?????
    rosepink wipe the sofa means cleanit/ hoover it - whatever it takes - you have to remember that some people have cloth and some have leather! and yes its meant to be the whole thing and No you wont get a star if you only wash the furnishings! Your Wednesday list looks not tooooooo bad could do with something a little bit more energetic - remember the others are doing children's bedroom!!!! what about adding cleaning your front door inside and out to your list and I will give you a star - is that a deal - I have it on my list!
    AnW'sMUm :T :rotfl: :T :rotfl: :T well what can I say!!!!! WTG you - hope you have been putting it away nice and tidy and not creating heaps on the floor upstairs!!!! Hope you had a nice visit!
    grateful you have to do a whole day;s list - level 1, 2 and 3 - but not the extras - read all about it on post 3!

    well done to all the newbies - you are doing really well but go easy - dont try to conquer the whole house in one go - we have all been doing this a lot longer and it gets more manageable the more often you do it so - be patient!!!

    toots xx
