    Thanks for the advice Toots - only thing about getting someone else to do it is that the first 1 is as soon as he gets up so that's 5.30!!

    Off to bed now once I've unloaded the WM & TD so night all.

    Sweet dreams

    Carried over from the last thread ;)
    AnW'sMum's dot2dot method is very good - she says ( and i dont believe here BTW well you should :p) that she has done zilch housework for a long time (basically sine DH died) so she picks a spot and guts it, cleans it and then the idea is to keep it tidy and clean and move onto another spot - eventually joining them up like dot 2 dot! (bloomin dotty picture :p but should be a tidy clean one eventually :rotfl: )Great idea if you feel overwhelmed by a particular room (or she says her whole house) and dont know where to start or dont have the time to do it all at once. Hope that makes sense.

    Now this MACAW........

    Hi all! Thanks guys for the lists and stars (not that I'm very successful getting any!) I'm in again this week & my MACAW is going to be to post on here more than once for the whole week!

    Froddington..was it you that mentioned the Sport Active game/workout thing for the wii? I've got the wii fit & have been looking at getting the sport active too.. whats it like? does it keep you motivated..I get bored very easily! I can't find much online about exactly what things its got on it.

    Evening all,

    Finally managed to get the internet working again - it seems to go through phases of chucking you off and eventually not even letting you back on again! I have actually finished the bedroom from last week's list, but it's too late now to get my star. Glad it's the living room etc tomorrow cos I didn't get around to that room and OH has trekked some yucky stuff through the hall that needs hoovering up.

    Off to bed now to watch CSI.

    Night all,

    sexymouse xx

    PS Toots - Ebony has been in with me on my own this avo and we've had cuddles and purring, so he's now over his huff. He even curled up on the bed with me this afternoon when sleep got the better of me.

    PPS Thanks pigpen for the list, and toots for the stars.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
