    Can i have 2 more stars, pretty witty please x


    Afternoon ladies :hello:

    Dolly big hugs hun xx I agree with what Sarahshattered says re if you upset then it does not hurt to show it. I think it is important for children to see it, i believe it helps them to express themselves.

    I still have the Living room to do and a quick S & S of the kitchen then i am all caught up, yay me:T Also i have put a load of darks in as the weather is brighter and quite windy, so they shouldn't take very long to dry.

    Can i have 2 more stars pretty witty please x

    Right Hex i will join your HHC, although be it a little late so 2:40 to 3:10 here i gooooooooo.......
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?

    not gonna get much more flying done today, i've just had some really bad news, was expecting it but it's still a shock
    my nannan has passed away this morning and it is my mums' birthday today as well, feel in shock and can't show anything to DD as she is too young to understand anything and unfortunately she never knew her, just want to cry

    DDD07 - hugs my dear, I know the shock will kick in even when it is expected. Sorry for your loss

    I have been rubbish on the flying front this week and it is getting to me how rubbish the house looks. Made my list up to tackle when I get in from work in my usual HHC and see how much I can get done!

    Pigpen - thanks, the weekly challenge looks like it will motivate me a bit more with the listing as CBA lately with this as nothing is selling. Will try again and see what happens

    Ok, this is my progress so far this week::-

    Monday - Living Room etc - DONE
    Tuesday - Bedroom - DONE
    Wednesday - Kitchen - DONE
    Thursday - Bathroom etc - DONE
    (not defragged the pc - have that down on my weekend list for this week)

    I'll be working from my own lists again for tomorrow and this weekend:-

    Friday - Porch and Yard

    Level One (looks a lot for level one but its a very small porch :D)
    Declutter floor
    Declutter hooks, umbrellas etc
    Dust skirting and ledges and deweb ceiling and walls
    Empty/get rid of green crate that's been lying there for months
    Wipe down freezer
    Vac floor

    Level Two
    Declutter front border including that blasted shrub!

    Decide what pots to keep, declutter all the others
    Trim back the rose bush that keeps attacking the postman :D

    Level Three
    Sweep paths

    Jeyes or Soda down all the outside drains
    Cut back the cotoneaster?
    Shed - Find some carpet pieces for porch etc

    Needless to say most of Levels 2 and 3 won't get done unless its dry, so this list might take a while to complete ....

    Weekend List - weekly/monthly/as needed

    Meal plan and shopping lists
    One of - manicure / pedicure / foot spa / facial / eyebrows
    Declutter desk and damp dust
    Filing
    Run Spybot / AVG
    Defrag pc
    Re-catalogue and sort all discs into cases - already made a start on this- absolutely no idea why I was hanging onto 2 copies of Windows 95, and 1 copy of Windows 98 :confused:
    Sort and tidy boxes under desk – get rid of some of the lever arch?
    Update freezer and store cupboard inventory

    Off to catch up with thread now ;)

    Dolly - huge hugs and prayers for you and your family. I think Dusty and SS have put it perfectly. My mum didn't tell me when my Granny died (I was 6) and it still bugs me now that she didn't let me know and won't talk about death at all. Take care and allow yourself time to grieve - it's normal and ok for LO to see x

    Jo - well done



    I'm going to try and put all the stuff from school somewhere neat and tidy so I can vacuum downstairs so
