    ok, this is my total progress today -

    ***************
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe worksurfaces[/STRIKE] Done
    [STRIKE]Empty and wash out the bin.. make it smell sweet![/STRIKE] Done

    Level Three

    [STRIKE]Sort and wipe a cupboard.. throw away all those germ harbouring chipped plates and mugs[/STRIKE] Done
    [STRIKE]Thoroughly clean the fridge[/STRIKE] Done - but just a 5 minute wipe over today as I did a thorough clean last week

    Extras
    [STRIKE]Run appliances through a clean cycle[/STRIKE] Done
    Wash the windows if they need it
    [STRIKE]Clean/descale a small appliance.. shake the crumbs from the toaster.. defuzz the kettle[/STRIKE] Done and found a small tray for toaster so the crumbs won't spread everywhere! :j

    My 5 things to do this week:-
    [STRIKE]Shorten and pad/cover the top of old stool[/STRIKE] Done

    Clear out dead/unwanted plants from the border and pots and give away the pots
    Assemble a dvd tower
    sort/get rid of junk box beside the desk

    ***************

    This is probably all I'll achieve today, but
    feel really pleased with what I've done :j - thanks for the kitb everyone!

    Won't do much else today except feed myself - cauliflower cheese, mash and peas (all veg prepped ready) - and do some sewing on the quilted bedspread, hopefully whilst watching a Sherlock or Poirot repeat on tv! runs off to check the tv schedule

    ;)
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

    floxxie - sorry to hear you have been unwell - hope you are fully recovered - dont be overdoing it until you are fully fit - try for level1/2 everyday and anything extra is a bonus! no point wearing yourself out on the first day and not managing anything the rest of the week!!!
    soappie what about an hour on your book/ email to flower to takeover map/ clean inside your car/ sort through your clothes / contact tourist board regarding doing B&B/ check your website is in order - any of these help??

Yo had better be careful my girl - your DH might not be too happy if you skip all his bits from the garage - but i do like your thinking:rotfl::rotfl: You have made a brilliant start today with all your recycling etc - WTG:T
    blueberrypie - i wondered where you had gone - nice to see you back - hope you get 'organised' over the summer - Babay steps will get you there - be methodical and steady!!
    Jo change your weekly challenge list NOW before we start - take off the ironing as you will do that as required - it should be on your dailies anyway and put on change LO's light fitting - you get a job done and he is happy - a twofold job!!!
    toochoosey your list could be 1. go to ??? and price stuff for nappy cakes 2. check ebay for nappy cake ideas and prices 3. check locally for fairs or fetes to sell nappy cakes - find out cost of stall etc 5. work out how much money you need to make nappy cakes. get items ready to list or put them on turbo lister to upload when you come back from caravan to make the amount you need!!!
    crafty do some of your assignment as your no 5!!!
    mudbath how could you!!!!!!! you are sooo bad to my Stripes! awh the poor angel - [STRIKE]what happened [/STRIKE]- is she in a lot of pain - I hope it is a clean break - that will slow her down for a while with it being in plaster. please give her loads and loads of gentle cuddles from me - I am gutted! Hugs for you for dealingn with it so well - you probably helped her by being calm and doing something about it so promptly.
    mammamia nice to see you again - *moving out * vibes by the lorry load for your neighbour!!!
    dusty i hope stripes isnt going to take after mudders!!!! Hope DoDo is feeling better soon.
    pooh well done to Dh for his job - I hope it leads to more work for him.
    Hi Tink - hope you are really 100% now - dont go mad until you get all your strength back and when you have building work going on you can only keep on top of it anyway!!!
