    Oooh didn't know you'd been on Martin's programme - so you have met our esteemed leader!

    No wonder you're such an ms EXPERT!!! Is there a link to it?

    The cult leader himself didn't visit, just three of his team (who were lovely, really really nice people). It was a couple of years ago now, so I don't think the links exist any more. I did get positive comments on the tidiness of my dining room though :rotfl:

    :rotfl: Maybe you're one of those neat freaks who thinks your house is always a mess when it's actually ultra tidy?!

    I've just been depressing myself looking at houses I love but can't afford :(

    Haha, no danger of me having some sort of false image of my house - I can assure you, it really has been shameful.

    As for looking at houses you love but can't afford, perhaps you can't afford them today, but one day in the future, anything is possible. It is a particular favorite pastime of mine!

    Scratches done - 20p :D Are you reading, Alastair Darling? This is how you should be spending your time if you want to get the books to balance :rolleyes:

    Banking done - £10 scratchcard winnings (see, Mr Darling, it's not just talk you know, it really does work!), which I have transferred straight to the 0% card.

    £22.00 won on bingo last night, in between flylady tasks, so hopefully tat will be with me early next week, and can also be transferred to the 0%.

    Flylady today is the bathrooms - I can happily do that when I get home. I scrubbed the childrens' bathroom to within an inch of its life on Sunday, so it shouldn't take me too long to do today.

    It is nice to get up to a house that is a little clearer......I am hoping that it will have an effect on the way I feel, generally, over the next few weeks (I just have to keep going with the tidy stuff, obviously, but I'm on day 4 and doing well so far!).

    I hope you all have a good day xx

    I think paying our European Union contribution in change from piggy banks, terramundis and the bottom of handbags, complete with fluffy midget gems, may be a tad time consuming though.

    Maybe we could flog off the banks on a BOGOF offer though :think:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    KC - I still have an awful long way to go - remember, that my house is one of the worst you might ever have the privilege of "virtually" visiting :rotfl: But if I keep going the way I have done so far this week, next time you are in the area, you can actually come and visit rather than have to meet me in town :o

    You're on! :)

    :rotfl: Glad I'm not the only one! I freeze with fear if I have to invite anyone round that's not used to visiting :o

    Exactly! There's some people who know me well enough, or new people like Wol who are on here and understand, but a new person coming in to my house gives me the shivers :eek:

    Somewhere in this country is the DVD I made when the programme was broadcast...... I sent it out to an mse-er, and there was a list of people it was supposed to go to, but I don't know how far down the list it ever got.
