    Thanks for the welcomes everyone!

    Toots - dont think I have had the PM before, I havent been on this thread properly for about a year (and probably the last time some of the rooms saw any tidying!)

    Definitely need to get organised. Think its a routine I need, everything has kind of gone a bit haywire over the last few years and I will admit to being truly spoilt at home and never had to lift a finger. I used to get breakfast in bed and probably still would if I lived at home in fact Dad still phones me every morning to make sure I am up in time for work - how bad is that!

    So to all parents - teach the kids to cook, clean, hoover and iron or they will end up like me! x x

  • thriftykatie - I'm not the one who came up with the weekly list, but you are welcome to join in :D

    Speaking of which, I spose I should make a list .............

    Oh well I saw your list so thought it was your idea so it was you posting your list which prompted me into action - although I may be cursing when it is still there at the end of the week :D

    Thanks to whoever did come up with the idea...
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Thanks Piggers and Toots

    Catching up from the old thread:

    xx_Jo - have you thought your frog might be a toad? We used to have a toad that spent it's time living under things. Very big it was.
    Dusty - the kids and the Waitrose car park - were you teaching them to break dance/ break into things.. that's the sort of stuff that usually goes on in our Waitrose car park.:D
    Greenbee - Frodders asked the sort of questions that were circling around my brain cell... if the walk's not too long and doesn't involve too much climbing up hills (my knees couldn't cope) and it's not too far from Winchester....
    Mudders - humungous - get well eye NOW vibes to your Dad

    Will do my list in part every day to keep on top of the house, but will probably catch up on a proper clean at the weekend. xx

    ETA - SOAPPIE - Oohhh yeah - it could be.....I wouldnt know the difference tbh but it was green and jumped around :rotfl:

    In that case, how about somewhere like Alresford (you can buy fresh watercress at the side of the river) or some of the places round about that have Jane Austen associations? I'll have a look at a few maps, as I've done a number of walks round there.

    Anyway, flyladies and gents, I would like to announce that after three and a half months of procrastination... I have finally written up my objectives. Of course, given the proposed changes, they probably won't be relevant in a couple of weeks, but at least they're done!

    Just the expenses and a presentation go to...

    Hi, I'm in again this week please. After 2 weeks off, the house has resorted to it's previous pigsty appearance :o I am definately not a born flylady :rolleyes:.

    Going to definately achieve level 1 this week and aim for level 2 on most days too.

    Thanks for the lists and the stars, pigpen and toots :A
