  • Morning all :hello:

    Thank you all for your kind encouragement with my college decisions. DH was wonderful when I talked to him about it said he knows that its something I've always wanted to do and I should go for it. He then said "I thought we would start trying for a baby next year though" which has now completely thrown me cos I don't know what I want more!!! Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!!! Oh well, at least I have plenty of time to mull things over.

    I lost 2lb at SW last night so very happy :T 3 1/2 more lbs and thats a stone so hoping to get that by 16th Nov

    Right down to flying - once I've moved my a**e off the sofa

    Have finished a little early as can't do any more right now. Have tidied bathroom so the man can get right to the sink easily, have also cleaned the sink and its surround. Have HSdishes.gifagain and refilled the sink with dishes so I can wash up again in my next HHC.

    I need to have a bathtub.gif in a mo, just having a bite to eat first as I'm seriously flagging. I want to go to bed!

    Morning :hello:

    Didn’t manage level two but was still pleased with progress yesterday. Mondays are not a good night for us. Think I’ll aim for 2 again today as my living room isn’t in such bad shape so today’s list looks pretty easy.

    My updates and lists will probably only be posted once a day (from W**K) so they’re pretty long, (sorry!:o) don’t think I’ve quite got it right, this listing stuff, I’ve got extras mixed up with dailies, extras that’ll probably never happen, Tuesdays extras and extra extras..nevermind, I’m getting more done and I’m sure I’ll condense it somehow as I get the hang.

    TOOTS – Thanks for the PM, that’s such a nice way to welcome.

    Can I ask a Q? I was hoping that Flying would free up time for big jobs I need to do like decorating DD’s room. I can see me having spare time tonight as I try to keep on top of the living room so should I use tonight for this or finish yesterdays list (which also desperately needs doing) or just forget yesterdays? Will the same jobs come around next week? My big appliances for example are disgusting. What would you do?

    I’m also giving far too much thought to stars, will I get one, won’t I? (I’m a grown woman!!:rotfl:)

    Working all day as usual, home at six and then the fun begins. Hope everyone has a fulfilling and happy day xxxxx

    The lists dont have to be completed that day for stars;)
    If you want to do DD's room I would just concentrate on sorting that for now:A
    as the list do tend to be repeated with slightly different things on them:cool:

    remember baby-45.GIF steps :D
