Evening all.... Unfortunately my lovely 2 flat screen computer has now moved out with the Ex (well he did pay for it) and Ds's laptop is playing up. So I had to sneak on and print off the weeks list from a friends computer. I managed to complete 2 days and made a really good input on the other days lists as well. I've still a lot of Ex's stuff to move but it's going car load at a time :-)
I am ashamed to say that my DS's friends never come to the house. So on Tuesday one of his very good friends is coming round after school. I'm great friends with the family, have been on holiday with them but they have never seen my house. This gives you an indication of my feelings about the place.
I've made great inroads so he's allowed his first friend to visit. I still hate the decoration - all horrible green wallpaper, green carpets and yes you've guessed it green paint but at least you can see the carpet!!!
Have a great week everyone - just off to tidy my kitchen b4 bed. Night night all xx
i know how you feel hun.....im horrified if one of my kids brings their friends in....more my son age 13 cos kids can be cruel

Evening all, I am in for this week again.
Thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie for all their hard work
Quillion - well done on your weight loss, I am about halfway to my target and love seeing pics like that for motivation
LL - good luck for tomorrow, will be thinking of you.
Welcome to all newbies
I am still knackered and stressed from last week with work, a funeral, DD back at school and DS starting school so the plan for this week is to carry on the 'grand declutter' in the living room and do level 1's where possible (some rooms are too trashed to get to level 1!) as well as 1 hour studying a day and working Mon - Fri.
Quick question - does anyone have kids in 2 different schools? If so how do you manage the pick ups when the times clash - I am at work all week but OH works nights so will be able to pick them up but hoping the school will hang on to DS for 5 mins or so to give him chance to get there.
See you all tomorrow x x

Morning all
Early start for me as Queen Victoria was miaowing her head off at DS1, he was trying to keep her quiet but she was very excited at seeing someone at 5:30am! Glad it is dry here as he will be outside all day (well all week actually)
I think I'll do the fridge and a meal plan now before the morning rush, dailies when I get back from the school run and then at least an hour in the family room.
Dusty's Family Room List:
Sort stationery drawer
Sort box on desk
Sort wood file box
Sort basket on the floor
Sort Nan's photos
Finish sorting the metal box
Plan to cycle to town later to do a couple of bits and use that as today's exercise.
Newbies good luck and welcome aboard.
