    How do you do this?!! Poor Stripes! I have an image of you tipping him up like some sort of money box and pouring the contents out of his mouth ;):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I need to do some work but I don't want to :p

    That was the polite way of putting it...I was going to write decluttered dogs bowels but thought i'd be shouted out!!! :rotfl:Mind you, we frequently have to 'empty' stripes on walks....she eats all sorts and I don't want to touch what she's eaten (e.g. chewing gum, tissues etc). We open her mouth and shake (gently) until it falls out! Bless her - she's on a mission to keep britain tidy by eating her way through all litter! xx

    Hi

    Thanks to you all for the upcoming 'visualisation' 8-45 is good for me.

    I am going to have something to eat now & then have a bath so that I am all prepared.........if I don't get back online afterwards it's because I am so relaxed I have gone to sleep!

    Hugs to all

    Hello

    I'm new to this thread, but need a bit of motivation to get on top of things....

    This weekend, I've attacked a few jobs I've been meaning to tackle for ages...

    Hoovered under kids beds
    Thrown out a black bin bag FULL of junk found in bedrooms
    Changed the beds
    Cleaned the shower with toothbrush, bicarb and white vinegar - it's gleaming!
    3 Loads of washing
    Sorted ironing pile
    Washed covers for pushchair ready to sell on Ebay
    30 minutes each day decluttering paperwork and filed away
    Posted DD's passport application (£46 - :eek:)
    Cleaned mirrors and windows inside upstairs

    Still got uniforms to iron though - will try to find time to join meditation too!

    Quite proud of myself for all that! Will enrol for next week's challenge and try to follow that daily :)

    Evenin all! Have had a great day today and the house is lovely and tidy too! Out of what I cooked last night 5 meals for two are in the freezer, we ate two portions tonight and I gave two portions to our friend who came round earlier so that his mum doesn't have to cook tonight. If she's already got food ready she can pop it in the freezer for another day. It was soooo yummy! And I've got some for lunch tomorrow. Not bad for a tenners worth of meat, and a few veg!
    It has a very tomatoey sauce which is very good for you too. Tomatoes I mean.

    Need to do the fridge and a cupboard this evening so I can get my last 2 stars.

    Am going to catch up on the thread now.

    Gardening finished... it stopped raining and I managed to find pots for all the remaining plants. I've also sprayed them with some organic thing which is supposed to help them resist pests and diseases. Hopefully the roses will be well fed enough to avoid blackspot this year, but I'll probably end up having to spray them anyway, despite wanting to be organic. Mind you, once I've used up the spray I've got I won't be getting anymore, so I'm just going to have to look after them.

    I'm incredibly muddy, so I'm just going to put together the second layer of the cake (I have to leave each one to chill in the tin until it'll keep its shape, so its a slow process), then have a bath. I can't do the final layer today as I've run out of golden syrup :o

    I should be nice and clean and relaxed for the visualisation... and then I can do my ironing :D
