to Pigpen and Toots for the lists and stars You are both angels

Wow I can't believe how productive you have all been today, puts me to shame. All I've done is do the ironing this morning, have a shower and then disappear to a friends for the afternoon. DH was watching the footie so I thought I would take advantage and have a natter and a cuppa with my friend down the road.

I've just taken some banana muffins out of the oven, and DH has happily decluttered one and declared it very tasty. Although I had made them for my friends children tomorrow - I had my orders this afternoon if I would make them..bless them

Bit too early for the apricot crumble to come out of the oven, but it is smelling really nice.

Princess_Jane

I'm in.

had a nice relaxing rest of weekend after working AGAIN on Sat.

Stayed with BF and some Magners Light on Sat evening and watched the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas - sob fest.

There's so much I want to do in 2009/2010 that I think I need a few more nights in - visit friends in New York and Cally, get Botox and the thread veins treated on my legs again, do a make-up artist course and spend two week's volunteering in a Thai orphanage with one of my pals.

Got up at 1pm today, made OH breakfast in bed, then went for a mooch about the countryside looking for car booties and ended up having buffet in China Town.

OH has just spray tanned me ready for the week ahead. If it didn't involve him looking at nekked women I'd hire him out as he's getting good.

Hi pigpen & toots, I'm in again. Last week was my first week and I did great on the kitchen, but only just managed level one for the other days.

I have been busy today though, or at least DS has been busy. He has quite happily decluttered 6 bin bags full of clothes, shoes and other stuff from his bedroom. We can see the carpet now! He is 14 next month and has just had a mega growth spurt so he has outgrown all but this year's clothes.

I have also been busy in the kitchen. I made the chocolate brownie cookies from last week's 'Economy Gastronomy'. OMG they are fantastic! I used up some mixed nuts I had in the cupboard and half a bag of chocolate drops. They are going down very well.

I'll be doing my best on the living room, stairs and hall (don't have a porch) tomorrow.

chickadee it takes a few weeks to really get into the lists so dont worry that you did level 1 - I bet you find this week easier - honestly it does get easier every week. And a huge WELL DONE to your DS - 6 bags of clothes is an impressive clear out! Hope he doesnt want them all replaced!!!! have a great week.
