Time to get moving and get some cleaning done. Running at 6.15pm so want to get tidied a bit. I have made batch cooked 3 x meat lasagnes and 3 x vegetarian lasagnes to put in the freezer. Will do chilli for tea I think.
Have updated the list with what still needs doing and the plan is to do 15 minutes in a room then move onto another room. Will start in the kitchen and wash some pans and start tea. That won't get anything crossed off as I did the kitchen already but at least it'll look a bit tidier.

right - read the first page, copied the daily tasks and levels into Word, removed bits that don't apply and printed it off.

Hi Honey and welcome to the thread. I have sent you a PM to welcome you and have added you to the 3 post on page 1 as a newbie.
I will add a Christmas tree so Pigpen ( Listmaker and HRH) knows to add you to her post.
You will do great things but remember you are having a baby and need to take things steady.
Toots is our usual greeter so look out for her.

Actually he is the son of friends of mine - young enough to be my grandson (which means I am old enough to be his grandmother which is really scary. OK I know I am, but don't like being reminded IYSWIM)
Still probably what I needed since I went to bed worrying about Jo, slept badly and woke up feeling lousy. Oh I am so glad I didn't join the list I might have committed the crime of sending someone a 'not xmas' card or a present.0 -
OK tooti (If I may call you that
) I won't work too hard but am leaving work now to make a start. Might make a start on kitchen today though because it's in desperate need of a declutter.
Hopefully can get it done before OH comes home and begs me to stop!
See you've motivated me already!!!A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

I WILL turn into a gardner lol. I bought a mag the other day called 'Grow Your Own' and they had a wee article on olive trees. I think its probably too cold up here to survive, but I may make further enquiries. I like the thought of a pretty tree0 -
