    Oops - forgotten how addictive reading this site is! Not actually got round to doing anything yet as too busy reading how busy everyone else is!

    Valli - thanks for the suggestion about the lodger - have considered it but in fact my house is very small and I enjoy my own space. Although moaning about working in the evening I am lucky to be able to tutor which is really well paid (I only need to do three sessions to cover what I could get in rent). I have taken on extra this year but with a view to clearing my debts - and we still manage holidays and stuff so I can't complain and know that alot of people have it alot harder than I do. I know what you mean about getting round to stuff - I found this thread really helped with that and I do get a kick (how sad) when I can tick something off the list.

    When I was on before you couldn't get stars (I'm VERY excited!) but just want to check - do you have to complete all levels to get a star? And do you have to complete on the day? May be able to catch up but I know some days it won't be possible to do everything I'm supposed to actually on the day.

    Decided on my MACAW challenge for this week - to make sure kitchen is clear (include dishwasher filled/emptied) before going to bed. It doesn't take long but often I just leave it then of course don't have time to do it before work and then takes more clearing when I do get round to it.

    Right, I am now going to do some of Monday's tasks - dd is staying over at her dads tonight so no excuses.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Hi, Katie. If you are a teacher, what about exam marking/moderating? My husband and I managed about 4k extra last year, saw me through maternity leave!

    Clarissa, Just a tiny request and please don't see this a criticism can you use normal size font please! I try hard to read your posts but they are too small for me and it hurts my eyes. Makes me feel old, only 36 but I have rubbish vision.
