    Ok, read my post and felt guilty so have spent the last half hour cleaning! The kitchen is fit to cook/eat in again and the livingroom is liveable again too, yeah! Even the bathroom is clean & tidy, the only downfall is the bedroom, I am over-run with clothes, argh! Gonna change the spare-room day to either the cupboard or my wardrobe but fear when I start the wardrobe I might never be seen again, ha! Will score of my list and post later in the week, looks a bit weak right now!

    I checked the caravan, tried the car but it is seriously full of crap and there are so many little "cupboards"(not the right word for the car, but you know what I mean!!), they are on the floor and under 4 of the seats, think I will do a HHC in there tomorrow as it is truly shameful...would put off car thieves!!!!
    It is worth it, I'm so pleased I tidied up the bookshelf and found the photos. Am uploading them to facebook if anyone wants a look.

    Hope you find the leads. I bet it is in the car, but if not, check and double check all bags you might have shoved them in a hurry while packing to come home! I often do that, I start off packing methodically and then end up just shoving things in bags and then can't remember which bags things are in!

    Rosepink, are you watching Midsomer?, no-one reminded me it was on, was wondering how it was so quiet!!!!
    Nah, it's a repeat that I've seen quite often. I'm going to watch the Apprentice. Go and watch it, you will easily work out what's going on! Count how many owl hoots and fox barks there are!

    About to declutter a packet of crisps! :rolleyes:

    Evening All.

    Well Havn't done much feelilng pretty low ATM . I know that AF must be due soon and hoping I feel better today.

    I also feel like a really bad mum as i think that DD needs a filling. She is only 3!!!!!!!!I struggled with brushing her teeth and it is only in the last couple of months that I can get a toothbrush in her mouth long enough to do it properly.

    I really don't want her to have a filling and then have a fear of dentists :(:(

    soory not much talk of flying but I haven't really done much ;)

    I liked what someone else had said a few months ago about counting how many lines Joyce Barnaby has! I think they used to bet on it!

    Hi everyone, hope you are all well.

    I've had a bit of a shock today, I've put on weight again :( Going to have to really blast the gym and get back onto my healthy eating plan. Ahhh I'm so disappointed with myself, but not really suprised.

    My list for tomorrow.

    Tuesday - kitchen and dining mess
    DONE Star please Quillion

    Wonderful Wednesday - I'm doing the bedroom, because Friday is my birthday and I'm being a rebel and taking the day off!
    Level One
    Level Two
    Level Three
    Sort through a cupboard of clothing
    Extras

    2. Polish ALL the mirrors in the house!!
    Plus
    Library
    Try new fake tan (free from the hairdressers!)
    Post bday card
    Coffee with friend 2pm

    I've just had a thought. I'm a bit scared of the lose weight thread on here, but I know a few of you are doing lots of gyming, is anyone after a motivation gym buddy type thing?? Send me a PM if you are... because god knows I need all of the help I can get.
