    HAve got rid of the level titles and now it has made me realise I am 4 jobs away from a full week:j I will do it. Today I have been to the allotment and done 2 and half hours of clearing ready for winter which I throughly enjoyed - head gym. I then came home and dh had washed up, fed kids and hung washing out, what a sweetie but then he has been in training for 10 years now:p
    I have done a load of ironing whilst washing Strictly which makes it so much easier to do. I have changed little ones cot bedding for the third time:mad: this time she took the top off her bottle, maybe trying to get the last drop out just like her mum:money:(only mine is Gordons)

    pen pen i think you were the bottle lady , am def going to save my handwash bottles up and copy that tip.
    soappie no i am not upset by your shoe comment! am off to count how many I have and order 2 more!
    greenbee hope you are resting, i need to have your attitude to exercise so for now you can have my attitude to resting!
    mudbath so glad your son is feeling a bit better
    rosepink love the smiley it made me smile

    Off to do my next order as I need new clothes and so does dh. Some of my clothes are awful and dont fit anymore, thats my excuse anyway.

    Thought I'd have a go at the list tonight seein as we have all been hard at work this afternoon and evening and have made great tracks into the mess and detritus...

    In addition to everything that has been deleted we have..

    FINALLY (after 4 years) hung the coat hooks on the back of DD1's bedroom door!
    Sanded the walls in DD2's room-to-be
    Washed a duvet and put duvet covers and pilow cases on all the girls beds
    Emptied 2 bedside units and filled a chest of drawers
    Taken tools from DD5's chest of drawers and filled the 2 drawers with her clothes.. so finding floor!
    Restacked boxes of junk on the landing so there is a little more floor... AND..

    Filled 3 boxes with books from the girls bedroom floor and put them all under DD5's bed.

    Tomorrow I am hoping to scrub down the paintwork in there and make a start on the lining paper if nothing else get done!
    The girls should be finishing tidying their room so the plasterer can come give me a price.
    The boys should be tidying their room so I can get in to sort their clothes and get the bigger screen out of my middle room and into their room.

    With luck I will be able to move her in there before the end of the month.

    Best go find my bed... so I can get in it! :p
