    Not bad really. I did most of this before Lost and during Lost I put the dishes away and folded all the washing I did today. I hung up the last load and have also put all of todays washing away in its rightful drawers.

    I have to be up at 5am tomorrow, so I will bid you all goodnight.

    HI everyone

    Had a lazy day after Sunday school this morning. Watched F1 and then played on Miss A's DS while they played outside! Blimey how time disappears without realising it :eek:

    Anyway all caught up on both threads and reporting for duty this week ;)

    Off to have some HM rice pudding which should have cooled nicely. See you all tomorrow xx

    Soappie we all have to complain, i think hubby has just got used to mine over the last few weeks he just agrees now.:rolleyes: :rotfl:

    You have him in the right place. Keep him there! :rotfl:
    Six weeks huh? The time will fly by.

    And I'm glad Bo is better and outside again. I know what you mean about the 'what did I do' look. I took my dog to the vet about 10 days ago to have a lump removed from her chin.(we're still waiting the results of the biopsy). The look she gave me as I left her there and the attitude she still has, slightly, is 'what have I done for you to treat me so cruelly'. The stitches need to be removed next Thursday. I'm going to be evil woman personified again.....

    But enough off topic stuff. I really need to get to bed if I'm to go to work in the morning. I will fly tomorrow night. I promise.

    hello debt cruncher - I have sent you a pm - with work going on its an uphill task keeping anywhere tidy - do what you can and it will come right in time - try to be patient and get into routines with the lists and you will find it so much easier.
    Quillion - good for you -it will be a relief to get things tied up now that you know what is happening.
    vanilla gosh only 6 weeks - I hope you are organised. I am pretty good thanks - have just had some treatment for my muscles so that has given me a boost.

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Yikes just googled the direction to Brockenhurst..blimey didn't realise it was that far away - 2hr 20mins, 226m round trip..yikes!!

    I'll think about bringing one of the dogs as he does have to learn to socialise but he loves dogs.. :) If there are young children then I might have to reconsider though :(

    Rosepink I will join you with 15 mins walking when you are training as I really need to get walking even if it is to the end of the road and back. Can't take the two dogs as they weigh 8 stone between the pair of them. I also have a Wii where I quite enjoy doing the steps on there, although after one session I am collapsed for the rest of the day/week..lol

    Off to bed now as DH has to get up to go to work tomorrow after his week off on holiday. Thankfully he has a job to go to as they have made people redundant in his bank this week and he wasn't sure if he had a job to go back to, but his boss rang him up this week and told him that his job is safe - phew were we relieved :) Night everyone, see you all tomorrow bright and early for the kitchen list :)

    :xmastree: Hello! I would like to join this week please. I'm aiming for just level 1 although I may chuck in a few extras :D

    Just so I can be clear on the rules: you still get a star if you complete all the tasks even if it's not on the right day. Is that right? Only it's my birfday on Thursday so I would much rather be pampered and spoilt than hoover, or something similar so will happily do more on wednesday or friday instead!:D

    Thanks
    Laura

    Hello, I'm back in again, can't believe how motivational this thread is - its even got me wanting to clean which is something I have tried my best to avoid for the last 40 years!! Its amazing how quickly you take a pride in it - I'm now pointing out stuff to my husband - ie look how much dust came from the back of the toilet on this old toothbrush - have you noticed how much cleaner the fridge is looking since I've wiped it down and now it has bicarbonate of soda in there to take the smells away - well, he wouldn't notice otherwise would he?
    Have a great week everyone.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
