    I must join in this coming week!
    I've been terrible at keeping up with things but have recently got the kitchen and laundry under control
    My main thing is clearing clutter while at the same time keeping the house clean.
    We can but try! It doesn't help when the kids are on holiday - oh gawd now daughter is on 'study leave' for exams I'm gonna have her home half the week :o - Aargh and I was looking forward to peace and quiet!

    HH62 - welcome

    juliejim - huge hugs and prayers for you and your family x

    ETA - soappie - thank you for my pint!!!

    Thanks everyone for all the hugs. I won't go into too much detail but I have found out that my friend is having an affair and has been using me to cover her tracks without me knowing. Really shocked and really not happy about any of it!

    Right, I'm off to dad's in a bit as he is going to look after my squash plants as I'm running out of space!

    Then I must do my planning! valli, serena, and anyone else - maybe a HHP or 2 later on?

    You got it Froddy!

    (half hour planning for lessons - we plan them, we teach them, we evaluate them...)

    aw that's so not nice...she must have known you wouldn't approve or she'd have asked for cover IYSWIM...has it all come out or is it just you that now knows (I don'tknow which scenario would be worse TBH)

    re that thread - I HAD read it but decided she had had enough input so kept out (I haven't now though!)
    Silly girl not logging off...

    Soappie
    I have evaluated what I have done (most rooms to some level) and think 3 stars would be right as I have done the equivalent of 3 full lists (plus a bit but I'm not greedy) - if you have time that is...
