    How much I get done depends in large part on the co-operation of the children - how much the big ones help and how much the little one insists on being carried around - but I'll give it a go! Wish me luck...

    I have absolutely no idea why I chose that as my username. It must have been the first thing that entered my head, but I can't for the life of me think why. I'd change it if MSE would let me.

    Anyway, we're not supposed to chit-chat here, are we? So I will say that I have, today: decluttered floors, vacuumed and mopped hall/stairs, watered the plants and done my filing - so that's a head-start on Monday :-)

    Good to see you back Johanne, and welcome to Penguin83

    Thanks Pigpen for the lists, and Toots for the nice shiny stars, and for the miracle of arrangements that means I have the house to myself tomorrow and can actually get on with something.

    My aim for the week is to do all five lists, to rehome/bin 500 items, to get 3 jogs done, and to get rid of any clothes that are too big so I have no excuse to slip back.
