  • Oh dear, I joined in last week and then my internet went down on Wednesday so I couldn't follow the lists.

    Anyway, broadband seems to be back (for how long?) so I'm going to get on with todays list!

    You are getting on so well today, maybe being zapped over the weekend has done you some good!

    I don't have any fairy cakes and don't like coffee but I will join you in a cup of tea.

    We have new windows in our bedroom, they are putting them into the spare room and landing at the mo. The front door is off and the bathroom window is being ripped out at the mo.

    The house is getting a very good airing, hopefully the door won't be off for too long though. They look clean so I think I may tick that off today's list soon.

    Ooops... only just got up - woke up with a migraine, took pills, slept, finally woke up and then read for a bit as I wasn't feeling great. Have eaten breakfast and caught up on the thread...

    Just trying to work out where thehot water has gone inmy house,the time clock is on and correct for its 20mins per morning.............
    I've had to increase the timing on mine in the last couple of weeks.
    Will be squeezing in batches of ironing as well each day ( *repeats to self* I WILL do that ironing, I WILL...) Oh just so you know I DID iron the kids uniforms (this morning!!) so that should save them from mental scarring Greenbee!!!

    Glad to hear it... and just think, if you keep up with the ironing you won't have to deal with it at the last minute! I might join you in the alcohol avoidance for a couple of weeks, as I know its the easiest way to a. lose weight, b. sleep better, and c. have more energy!

    Suppose I should find my list, so it's ready for when I'm showered and dressed!

    Realistically, as I haven't been at home for a week, I should be able to get this done, and deal with a few more bits from my personal list (wherever that's disappeared to!)!
