    I'm in, thanks pigpen, toots and soappie.

    welcome lovely new flyladies.

    Jolly tired and feeling v.low which has prompted me to mention that 'flu can lead to a bit of the old black dog. I will buck up, though, as nothing to grump about really.

    My plan this week is to do a HHI every day. thifty I was going to say break a leg, but you are off the hook - nice of HOD to let you know - and don't feel guilty, its natural!

    Monday- Living room, hall and stairs
    Level one
    Clear floors of clutter and vacuum them
    Make time for yourself!! Half an hour of peace!

    Question: as our sitting room is empty of anything, for the decorator, and it has been hoovered today, have I already done level one?
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Well I ended up with 2 bags of stuff for me to take to work and 4 bags of stuff to go to the kids' Christmas fair.

    DH has now gone to bed as he's got to be up at 2.30 but has just asked me to make him some sandwiches. He's been sitting on his backside in front of the TV for the last 2 hours while I've never stopped:mad:. I was hoping to jump in the bath and have a soak but I don't know whether I'll have time for a soak now.
