I have been with moneysavingexpert a while and want to finally sort my life and home lol. I got pointed in this direction by JO (THANK YOU HUN XXXX)

Right its wednesday the day after my 33rd birthday and I have made the decision to get everything in order. Where do I start???? LOL

Have found the monday to wednesday lists but want to print and laminate the whole weeks to begin. Please help, where can I find the other 4 days lists?

Any hints and tips will be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance! Love Ellen xxx

not looking too bad today, so thats good which means i can concentrate on sorting out my pc - i think i have some sort of a virus on it :eek::eek::eek:, a friend sent me a message on fb saying that she had received an email from me wishing her happy holidays and offering some electrical goods at cheap prices just for her! i have no idea how to find out if i have a virus or how to sort it out, i am a complete techno-phobe!

anybody got any ideas??

Hey all, didnt have much chance to do any real flying yest, did three hours of ironing in the morning :O which is amazing for me as i normally iron as it comes out of the drawers! Then in the afternoon we went out and ordered carpet(being fitted sat) and brought some more paint. Then said we'd treat the kids to a wackywarehouse play and meal.....after 25 mins of hunting we finally found a wacky in the new area but when we got there the wacky was closed!!!!!! whooops. Anyway, we ended up having the best night ever. Because the kids couldnt go into the wacky we said they could have adult puddings, and halfway through tea we discovered it was family night and they had a disco and party games. It was like being in a holiday park! We didnt get home till 9pm, and the kids had so much fun! Chuffed cus wacky would have cost about 7quid but the disco was free! Just getting the energy to go and finish painting the loo and then do the gloss work! x

Hi and welcome.

The lists change each week to keep it interesting and get more than just the bog standard basics done.

Each day is added the night before and we have weekends off.. because we have done it all during the week. When the chillies go back to school we may have a weekend list added which covers the simple reminder stuff.. uniforms etc.. and sometimes we have a challenge.. ebay selling, decluttering or just cleaning.

Just start today and see what you get done!

HHC done - more dining room, kitchen and paperwork (why do I get so much post when I'm away on holiday ). Kettle's on, so more coffee

Penny. x

Made coffee for DH, who has mowed the lawn
Spoke to guy who had phoned about sash window restoration.

How did you guys go???

eta welcome, ellen!
