    Well, I got a bit more done yesterday and I'm pleased with my progress. The flat looks so much better already - and it was lovely waking up this morning/coming home from work to a clean flat.

    But - can you believe this - I didn't do the flipping washing up! I ran out of time and I went out last night, and was too tired/tipsy when I got in. Honestly, I didn't even manage one day of my MACAW challenge! Anyway, I've done the washing up now (even though I'm tired and hungover), I've had a nice cup of coffee, and there's a hot bath running. I probably won't do anything else tonight, but I've had a little bit of a tidy, and I might do some decluttering while watching Gok's Fashion Fix later.

    Well finished tutoring and just popped out to get some petrol to avoid having to go in the morning. Just waiting for veg to finish cooking and then after dinner will have to finish today's list.

    Woke up at a silly time this morning so managed to do levels one two and three except for hoovering and washing living room floor so going to get off my backside and do that even though I am so tired - really want that star today!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
