    Thanks Tooti and Pigpen ;) My first time on this; I'm not sure how much I'll get done but hoping for at least level 2.

    My 5 things to do this week:-
    1. [STRIKE]Shorten and pad/cover the top of old stool so I can put my feet up when I watch telly - this job has been on my ‘to do’ list for a year[/STRIKE]
    2. Finish cutting down the too-big quilted bedspread which hangs too low on the floor – been tripping over this one for at least 3 years!
    3. Weed the small border and clear out dead/unwanted plants from the pots outside the front door, and then give away the pots
    4. Assemble a dvd tower; I have 2 waiting behind the sofa but probably will only manage 1 at a time so I’ll save one for next week
    5. Find out exactly what junk is in this box beside the desk – sort it out and get rid of the box
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

  • I'm in - my own lists around work this end of the week..

    My 5 for this week (great idea this!)
    * Sort out A's operation date.
    * Book summer childcare once I know no 1.
    * Plant out rest of bedding plants
    * Sort through my summer clothes box out of loft and ditch/recycle/bootsale pile

    laters, must dash - school run time...

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    I thought you was wearing a headscarf and sunglasses.

    We could have those too - as well as the marigolds and white coats!

    Thank you all for the birthday wishes. And Toots - thank you for the email card

    Strange weather today. It's cloudy out the back but blue skies out the front! Just waiting for DS to go to work then I'm going to wallow in the bath and do my feet. I still need to think of 4 more things:

    1: Do feet and toenails
