    Posting first and catching up after ;)

    Morning all

    Two loads of washing done. One of clothes and one of the throw from the living room. My washing machine smelled funny even though I did a cleaning cycle last week so I've done it again and it smells much better at the moment. A bit further round the road they've had problems with a water leak and the road has been up so I wonder if there has been some sort of backup causing a smell...

    Anyway.

    Monday's list all done, star please Soappie:)

    I also had a good go at the living room. When I got up this morning it made me really depressed. It wasn't seriously filthy but just felt a bit grubby. So I changed the throw, gave everything a good clean with Stardrops and a microfibre cloth and vacuumed like mad. It smells lovely and fresh now. The carpet is still horrible but the room does feel better.

    I also dampwiped the computer desk, cleaned inside and outside the front and back doors and did the framework. I cleaned the mirrors and the television screen and monitor. Cleaned the window in the living room and kitchen.

    Vacuumed the stairs and vacuumed round the computer tower, scanner, etc.

    Hopefully when living room day comes round I'll only have to give it a once over.

    Going to try to catch up with the posts now, hope everyone is OK.

    Sorry to read your sad news hollyh :(

    Hope your trip goes well Soappie (I know you've already gone!)

    Welcome to all the newbies :)

    Thinking about your cousin Poohbear.

    I can't believe it's 11:30 already! I haven't done anything yet apart from watch ER from Saturday (Im so glad they are repeating the series on C4 as I kept forgetting to watch it online and missed quite a few episodes) and browsing on ebay.

    I'm going to have some lunch in the hopes that it will perk me up a bit and then do some flying.

    Greenbee - Linked in, too much 'we' not enough I! Am I right in thinking you lead the team? It doesn't come over as that. HTH

    I am just leaving the office, home via supermarket for kitten food (as predicted I gave in to tempatation and got one for me too), and then to work on the list plus try and get my run in before 3pm. Busy week so I must keep on top of it.

    I suspect my pedometer doesn't work - I have done 8 steps so far today :confused:

    Fedup, hope you get some proper sleep soon – are you feeling wide awake at night, or is something disturbing your sleep or what?

    rosepink - it's bit bit of both, work is on my mind and keeping me awake for hours and hours and then I wake up too early in the morning, try and go to sleep again then really struggle to get up.

    It sounds a bit rubbish I know but the things that are happening at work is greatly affecting me in this way which is unusual because it usually has to be something pretty big and serious to affect me in this way.

    Anyway I have taken the day off to recover and have applied for 2 jobs in the meantime (fingers crossed). am sat here with my eyes heavy and closing. Will do the kitchen this afternoon, need to make use of the day now!

    I'm in again this week, was trying for a star but migraine didn't help yesterday so failed at that. I'm sorry I missed the visualisation yesterday :( Went to bed early to try and get rid of migraine and couldn't concentrate on anything, will join if there is a next one :) (Thankfully after a good nights sleep the head is much better :))

    Rosep sorry I didn't get back to you before, you were asking where I walk? I don't actually, although I probably should :) Most walking I do is running around the restaurant or from my car to work :) I use that as my daily exercise :D I hope your headache goes soon
    soappie I hope your trip to Newport goes successfully
    Michelle don't know what to say really so I'm sending you hugs instead :) keep your chin up, it will get easier

    poohbear sorry to hear your news, thinking of you and your cousin
    Haven't had a chance to read the end of last weeks thread so if I missed anyone here's a hug for you all :)
    Hope toots is doing well and Lady-L is feeling all the positive vibes from her visualisation :) x

    Just sorted out a box of stuff for the school tombola to go with the large box and bag of second hand toys I'd stashed in the loft for them so more clutter will be leaving the house tomorrow.

    Hoovered around upstairs.

    Pooh hugs for your cousin, I hope she gets through it

    Hex - kitty photos please and a name?

    Tummy is growling for lunch so that next and then I might have time to hoover the family room before I go to work.
