    Morning all. I was planning on doing the LR today too. We had half the kitchen all over the living room and it is mostly back now, but there are still tools lying around and dust everywhere from the tiling. We were meant to have a cofee date today, but that is postponed now. No bad thing really!

    If I get around to it I will attack our bedroom too, as the crib is FINALLY out of the way, so I can put my clothes away and clear away the clutter. That may have to wait till tomorrow though - let's not get too over ambitious here ;)

    Oh, I was going to ask - we have a ceramic hob, and it is all covered with burnt on bits - any ideas what I can use to clean them off with? Is there some miracle product I should know about, or is this another thing I should be using vinegar for?!

    Pigpen - Hope you're okay!

    10. Let DD do her garden kit (Saturday)
    11. Back up computer before installing the new modem on Friday :eek: All 28GB :eek: May add a HHD(eclutter) for it as well each day - I'm pretty sure as eclectic as my taste may be I'm not going to be listening to some of the [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE] music that ex has left on it :rotfl:
    12. Sew button back on DD's pyjamas
    Since I got all 5 stars last week I'm going to keep the jobs to a minimum this week, this will also hopefully mean I'll get my studying done. ;) In fact that's what I'm going to go and do now, some studying otherwise I'll end up sitting here doing nothing again!

    and GREAT news about your cc!!!!:T

    rosepink yes it's quite stressfull! that's why we decided on a time out and rather wait a year. we need that time to get our energy back.
    and like someone else mentioned the other day you've come along so much over the past few months! i remember you being so overwhelmed with simple jobs and look at you now you take it / them all on :T
    Thanks lovely, that's really nice of you to say so :j:j

    I'm still mystified about the secret messages, have no clue what this is about? :confused:

    Jo, hope you are ok today, please let us know if you need support. You did really well yesterday, we are all here for you today too

    Irie, where do you live? County will do if you don't want to be specific. Also, why were you posting in the wee small hours?

    I've sorted through one pile of paperwork, still another pile to do later. Got the stuff ready to take to the dump which is in the same town as the dentist.

    Just going to hoover - I can walk and sit but not stand and then I need to test DS1 on his RE for this afternoon.
