    Have vision of Jink and Carlsberg sat a t the back of the flyclass with their skirt waistbands rolled over, fags secreted about their naughty persons and giggling like naughty schoolgirls lol flicking bits of rubber at the swots at the front :rotfl:

    I always wanted to be one of the cool kids:D

    I was good at flicking rubbers though, a nice bendy ruler helped a lot;):T

    jinky - I think maybe you need to concentrate on the decluttering missions for a bit... it'll be much easier to get stuff out if you clear it away from the back door ;)

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    that would mean tackling the ironing pile first though:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    If it's been in the pile for long enough it won't need ironing anymore, so you can just put it away! When my levels of clutter go up, or I'm finding it difficult to fit the flying in with work, I tend to cut back [STRIKE]completely[/STRIKE] drastically on the ironing (and I stop wearing shirts and start wearing tops with lycra in that don't need ironing ;))

    LOL I think I always think I'm lacking when working full time and that I should work like a fool to try and 'catch up'. It's not a competition I know, for crying out loud I've only ever managed 2 stars!!! But I can/do feel inadequate when I read what everybody else has done.

    When did the stars start ? Don't remember them being here before!
    I don't work at the moment, am a SAHM to 2 year old, so am at home more than those who work full-time (although DS activities do take us out and about a lot too!). I won't be getting (m)any stars either though, mainly as bad back can prevent me from getting as much done as I want! I just think it is good to be getting something done. I actually gave up before cos I felt I had to do too much (I felt this, noone told me I had to) but this time determined to be realistic as to what my body can do! The company/banter is a good incentive to clean too, and I missed that when I left ;).

    Two friends were supposed to be coming over for supper tonight, but one of them has cancelled - she copied both of us on the cancellation, but the other person hasn't responded to the email, or to the text I sent her, so I don't know whether she's coming. It's irritating, as its peeing down again, so i could do with going to the gym to get my last 3000 steps done today! It'll be a challenge trying to get that many done in the house.
    How big is your house? I do nearly all my steps at home, just walking from front door to furthest away place and back umpteeth times. It's good, my brain just phases out and I can get about 1000 steps by doing that 20 times. In fact, I will go and do a 1, 000 right now!

    Hi Oddjob!

    Tonight must wash up and do what ever else I can cope with doing. Hoping that DH will be home soon as he said he was doing dinner but I'm starvin marvin already. Maybe I should get a snack as he probably won't have it done until about 7, hmm, what to have?
