    Thank you for tomorrows list Pigpen. I like to know which room is next before I go to bed. Have nearly finished my list for today so not much effort to get another star. The lounge and hall are another matter though :-/

    Good night and hugs to all.

    I know, I said you need ID - they wanted my passport but birth certificate is fine too - like the idea of getting married abroad, Toots you could get two of your wish list items in one go then
    rosepink you have always said that you have a very small flat so please tell me how you can go from 500 to 4785 steps in 3 hours? I have a small flat but from the sounds of things its a bit bigger than yours and I would love to be able to do that amount of steps but even when I was fit and had to count steps for one of my consultants the best I could do was less than 4000? I use to do what greenbee did and took one thing at a time and all that and I would go for walks too. You dont go out much sometimes not at all, you sit and watch tv and you have naps and yet you achieve huge numbers - I am amazed - how do you do it?
    toots xx
    I walked from the front door to the furthest point from there (the loo) 30 times and back again - and did it once or twice an hour until I had enough steps. It's not actually as boring as it sounds, I just zone out and have to concentrate on keeping count so don't really think about what I'm doing. Plus sometimes I see things that need tidying/flinging so do that en route! Thanks for the compliments, nice to hear, I am trying really hard to get this weight off

    1. Finish cushion cover
    2. Write card, wrap cushion cover, give to newly married couple
    3. Sort out undies and pyjama drawers
    4. Email A and S T and write 5 cards to friends/family
    5. Get DH to drill holes in planters, then I will put the compost in and plant the plants from MOAM

    Magnificent Monday ~Crabby kitchen!
    Level One
    Level Two
    Wipe all appliances.. large
    Wipe over units and kickboards
    Level Three
    Sort and wipe a cupboard.. throw away all those germ harbouring chipped plates and mugs!
    Thoroughly clean the fridge
    Wipe the table.. does it need a clean cloth?

    I've done a bit of the kitchen list, so that's good

    AND, I've got more than 8, 000 steps! Everyday I try to beat what I got on the same day last week, and I have today! Hurrah!

    Suppose I should do my list of 5.....

    1) Find and purchase a pair of trainers so I can make the most of the pedometer i've just ordered off Amazon and take up that gym membership. Found a pair today (it's hard - have HUGE wide feet) and ex oh (long story) went into town to buy them for me and the price was £20 more than I'd been told so need to start search again...........

    2) Get rid of the unwelcome hairy resident whose taken up residency near my computer desk - sorry mate but your time is up.

    3) Clear top of dressing table in my room

    4) Sell 20 things on Ebay / Amazon

    5) At least half an hour clearing the greenhouse / shed /garden rubbish

    Forgot to paste this into my last post, sorry. Have thrown away a tissue

    Scared, congratulations on the new man! Great! Enjoy the snuggling on the sofa!

    Helen, the WCs were very odd (by the time they were leaving I was wondering if they are a team of murderers and were going to chop me into little bits, but then I thought they probably wouldn’t have done the windows first), they did a good job but didn’t touch the frames which I was hoping they would as they are filthy, I will have to do them myself now!

    Greenbee, I love the sound of your interview technique! Congratulations on not getting the jobs!

    Valli, sorry you didn’t get the job
