Can I ask a question regarding the nappy cakes to mums of youngsters / those who remember.... What small thing(I am on a budget!!!) would you have liked, after having baby, either for yourself or the baby? xx

Hi Toochoosey,

Not had a baby myself but I bought a friend a (small) baby gift and a Spa Sanctuary pamper oil for her and she really appreciated it. She was only getting gifts for the baby and nothing for herself!

On the house front, not managed much tonight as OH was down, he made the dinner and I STILL have the dishes to do but will get cracking on that tomorrow. Managed to get 5 boxes sorted for charity, will do that at the weekend and clear some room. Also managed to sort lunch for tomorrow so that's one thing scored off my Extras! Off to bed now x

P.S. Thanks Kaz for sharing your pics, I often take pics when my house is tidy (to try and make me clean more regular), has the same affect of sticking a picture of a skinny celeb on my fridge

WTG kazm thats a great start for you too - are you going to try to fling 100 things a day with triker ?
every single peice counts!

soappie thanks but I cant take the credit - its actually from the americam flylady site - it stuck in my mind as a good idea at the time - i have tweaked it a little.
have you noticed I have been posting where I have done stars up to? thought I should get in the habit just in case anything happened it and I wasnt around to do them it would be easier for you to figure out where we were up to.
Right got a bit held back as i was speaking to the gardening man - he didnt manage to finish it aall as some bits took longer and actually he did more than i was expecting at the front - i dont think my garden has ever looked sp tidy! he will be back tomorrow night to finish off the last bit.

I am off to bed - dont know if i will get on until the afternoon as i have my outing with the support worker tomorrow in the morning and the dietician and the district nurse in the afternoon - no rest again! LOL!

Will pop on when I can and catch up with you all and the stars.

Hope everyone has a restful night
love and hugs
toots xx

Toots - huge hugs and prayers; please, please take things easy and rest!

rosepink - glad you're enjoying yourself. Where are you at the mo? Love the idea of you spotting things that need doing - and how lovely of you to do it for your parents

kazmeister - I don't even own 14 pairs of shoes! I need an attic - the rest of my house could be sooooo tidy! Well done on the decluttering today

I need sleep - and someone to write 10 reports for me - and someone to clean my house - and someone to tell me what my class are going to do tomorrow afternoon :rolleyes:

Right - a list ready for [STRIKE]me to ignore [/STRIKE]tomorrow I think ..............

Tidy a cupboard/chest of drawers Kaz you have inspired me and I am off to find something to tidy! have you thought of putting your house up for sale? does wonders for motivation!

My friend and I frequently have gone through each others wardrobes and got rid of loads:T

Thanks, Swinstie73, was thinking of candles but she has a 6yr old as well so maybe not a great idea for a busy mum, thats a great idea though xx
