    Hi SarahShattered, kazwookie and Flylady_Flower, thanks for the welcome!

    I just finished my HHC - it turned into an hour because I was on a roll and having so much fun! I got a Kinks CD from the charity shop the other day, so I stuck that on and got on with it. In total I:

    1. Finished dusting the piano, stereo, computer, TV etc in living room (started yesterday but there was so much dust it needed going over again!)
    2. Changed the hoover bag (it was completely full - amazing how much better it works after cleaning it out!)
    3. Cleared the floors in all rooms and hoovered (except bedroom, I'm doing that later). I haven't hoovered for ages so it really needed doing - I was using 'the hamster doesn't like the noise' as an excuse, but I think we all know that's not the real reason!
    4. Washed the kitchen and living room floors (not done this for flipping ages, the water was filthy!)

    I'm just waiting for the floors to dry so I can hang out a load of laundry and put the rest in, and put the rugs back down and hoover/brush them. When I've done that I'm going to wash the bathroom, hall and study floors and sit in front of the TV with a coffee and biscuits while they dry. Then it's on with some studying - I'll finish my bedroom tasks this afternoon.

    I am doing a lot today but it's really because I have the time and I feel motivated - the rest of the week I'm going to just try to do Level 1 each day, as well as my MACAW.
    PS: Love the MACAW...:rotfl:

    You wouldn't think washing up would be that difficult, would you? I think it's cos I don't see the point if there's only a little bit, but then I leave it too long and can't face it!

    Morning all, just. :o I have been up for a while but I've been doing jobs.

    Since my livingroom didn't get touched last week except for decluttering it (which seems to be an ongoing chore lately :rolleyes: ) I'm switching todays list to that room using last weeks list. Anything that doesn't need to be done will be subbed with an extra off my personal list, however outside jobs will need to wait until later in the week when its not raining, so I'll just put "FOH" on my personals ;)

    2. Phone 02 with MAC code
    3. Clear out Orange inbox - getting there slowly - 7,000 to go when I stopped last night :eek:
    4. Look into getting DD a cable for her phone so it can connect to the computer (ebay here I come)
    5. Sort out ringtones for my new phone - don't like any of the ones currently on it :rolleyes::rotfl:

    Have done several loads of dishes, currently have some pots soaking now. The drainer is full so i need to wipe and put away before i can wash anymore!

    Have decluttered some of the kitchen. Sorted out some of the rubbish and recycling. Little one wanted some cheese on toast so sorted him out and decluttered a yogurt for breakfast.

    Am off to do the ironing and watch Harry Potter with the little one
