    • Change outside lightbulb & bedside lightbulb
    • Fill screenwash
    • Clean out car for Thursday
    • Car insurance
    • Update SEF template and send to RD to tart up
    Making progress! I feel better now :rolleyes: but it's a bit late to go to yoga! I think I might not have had enough to eat earlier... but then again, I should have been able to make use of the excess from the weekend!

    Off to bed imminently. I think I'll have a hot water bottle though, as I've got a bit of back ache and don't want it to get worse. I've got a long list for tomorrow, and I want to start making inroads into the work stuff (which I've been neglecting :o) so that all mine and my team's performance management paperwork is up to date, my expenses are done and everything is in place for leaving at a moment's notice!

    Forgot to say - well done crafty! Bet you're glad you made the effort now...

    Welcome to the newbies, and hugs all round...
  • New weekly challenge

    1. [STRIKE]Go see a friend who I haven't visited for a while.[/STRIKE]

    2. Move suitcases out of the bedroom.

    3. Clear ironing pile that's been sitting on the back of the settee for the last week.

    4. Do 1 painting.

    Thank you to 1 step closer, dusty and elf06 for the advice re the fleas. We've always used Frontline, have done for years but it doesn't seem to have worked this year. It's the first time we have had a problem; so now we are using Stronghold on the cats aand Indorex spray all over the house. I've sprayed a piece of wiping cloth with the Indorex and put that in the vacuum but I will use 1 steps idea of the flea collar in the dust bag when I run out of spray.
