I'm happy with the three levels - I mostly leave out the extras. I like posting that they are done, but don't always check stars.

I also really enjoy the weekly challenges, but agree that they should be optional, and varied. I achieved eight things in the last two weeks that I may not otherwise have done, so I'm happy! (I've delegated this week's challenge to DS1 because I don't see the point of having a live-in ebay expert and struggling myself!)

We didn't have three levels when I started, and if I had been working as much then outside the home, I think it would have been really difficult.

The number of fliers achieving five stars in a week has been decreasing, but I don't think we should make an issue of it, we're all very busy, and for lots of us the school holidays take priority over the house. Perhaps for a while we should try dropping the stars altogether? And go back to celebrating the things that we have all achieved, rather than focusing so much on the things that we haven't?? (With due apologies to AnW's mum, the day she won her first star!!)

Sorry for any mistakes, I had sore eyes, took my lenses out, and have to squint at the screen about four inches away...:rolleyes:

I'm in... and if it's OK with everyone else I'm not going to join the declutter challenge as I have very little left to declutter So I'm going to keep going with the things that need to be done list:

1. Take garden waste to tip
2. Get spare tyre fixed - I've left it there but they didn't call me back. I MUST call them tomorrow morning.
3. Pay Sophie
4.[STRIKE] Get outside freezer up and running[/STRIKE]
5. Handwashing

Other things for Monday:

[STRIKE]1. Walk to post office and get cash
2. Walk to butcher and buy chicken (separate trip... need the exercise )
3. Cook chicken[/STRIKE] & freeze stock
[STRIKE]4. Update performance contract[/STRIKE]
7. Book tickets for 9th
8. Give bank details to SB so she can let me have the money she owes me!

I've split, filled and frozen the chocolate cake that was left over from the weekend, and made a 9" square victoria sponge that I hope I will get done tonight (if not I'll have to do it tomorrow between the gym and the reflexologist).

I'm short on steps again :rolleyes: but hopefully by the time I've cleared away the evidence of cooking in the kitchen and got myself ready for tomorrow I'll be closer to my target.

I still haven't found the time to read through all the material for the interview, so I must make sure I leave work on time tomorrow!

ETA - Rosepink - I've emailed you!

Very overwhelmed.....

Jo - please don't be offended by what we've done. We would do it for any friend (don't mean that disrespectfully). We are ALL friends here, even though I could walk past all you in the street all and not have a clue who you are xx

My inital reaction to Rosepinks message was no - none of you are in a position to be subsidising my income! Which makes it more overwhelming! Im not offended at all!

Im very touched and moved by what youve all done for me

Pigpen - too emotional to write a blurb about it all. Dont get rid of the daily list....regardless of what happens with other challenges, we still all need the daily list (i think, everyone does, but I know I do).

* List 5 of the items you should have found and photographed for rehoming/sale...

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is..............Getting to the end of my lists.

Personal list over the week - Sort coats and shoes, see what's needed for school, replace lightbulbs, HHG, change batteries in toothbrush, things to do site, wash big pillows, clean under appliances, hoover under sink, keep eye on water leak.

Pigpen - I personally really need the daily lists and love that the days rotate week by week. Its when I try to do it on my own and just report in that I go AWOL. Although I love the challenges, I make sure the Levels are the only thing that I really concern myself with doing, even if just level one. Everything else, when I can do, I will but I don't feel bad for not doing them. Keep up the wonderful job!

Just make sure it doesn't ALL go on shoes

I think it goes back to the 'paying foward' idea. Its so nice to see that there are people here who will do things without expecting anything in return - they do it because it's the right thing to do. It also shows that a lot of people doing something small each can make a big difference

I think we should ALL be giving ourselves a pat on the back for being such nice people... and hope that Jo remember us when she gets a new high-powered, glamorous, highly-paid job and has staff to do her flying

Jo - thank the lord for that, no offence was ever meant. It's down to rosepink and soappie who put the thought in our heads, though eventually when my one brain cell kicked in, hopefully would of thought it too!!

Told you we were a force to be reckoned with xx
