    I have three bathrooms and a study, can I have an extra star??:p

    Nope - if I can't even get a special star for tiling my kitchen floor or an extra star because my kitchen is so darned big then you can't for having three bathrooms - actually, that's just plain greedy :p

    Not much done tonight but I find it a great achievement managing to keep the kitchen super clean & tidy! Still can't find that darned spider in my room, was hovering (or was that hoovering) last night trying to find, so ended up going to bed exhausted.

    Working tomorrow night at 2nd job and all weekend at main job so not gonna get another star - boo! At least more money in my mitts, have a great night everyone x

    soappie - totally right. I've done the worst bit (stapling all the reciepts in order across a4 sheets of paper - something I won't miss!), just hadve to enter and code everything now (everything has 2 seperate budget codes!). I did stop inbetween to cook and eat dinner though.

    We;re just heading out to vote and drop FiL's birthday card off then I'll finish. I probably won't have a drink tonight, one at most as we've a long drive in the morning (i'm driving) but I'll certainly put my feet up!
