    you are so sweet, thanks :A
    I've got one like that too!:rolleyes:

    Since DD1 had a serious relapse of her ME/CFS last year she spends most of her time in her room. If she wants anything she rings a doorbell we installed. If he hears the bell he'll look at me and say -'it'll be you she wants!':mad::mad:
    That's it, I am getting a doorbell, what a great idea!

    He made you a cup of coffee? You lucky thing! Mine is the same, out of bed, straight to laptop, 10 mins before it's time to leave, he gets dressed, 10 mins after we were meant to leave he has breakfast.

    Morning everyone - I am dreading my bedroom today - it is such a mammoth task, and yet it is only a few short weeks since I did it properly.....I am ashamed of how bad I have let it get, but I am determined that it will be significantly better by the end of the day!

    Hugs and congrats and all round good wishes to those who would like them!!

    Morning
    It's persistently raining here...they say we might get snow later, but personally I don't think so. I think I need to go for a walk as I haven't done any exercise since before Christmas :eek:. We've an appointment in town later, so I might suggest we walk rather than go in the car.

    Hope everyone is OK? Congratulations on finishing the book Soappie.

    Yesterday was reasonably good and I managed the following:

    Tuesday ~ Living room, Hall and Stairs
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Declutter floors.. take any unhomed presents away upstairs to their respective rooms[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Vacuum visible floors![/STRIKE] I swept them.
    Level Two
    Vacuum under furniture you can safely move!
    Vacuum hallway and right up the stairs
    Sort out coats and bags etc.. wash any that need doing before we go back to school/work
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Wipe and water plants while dewebbing![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wipe sticky marks from sofas and paintwork[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Binbag dance![/STRIKE]
    Extras
    1. If you are leaving your tree up past New Year.. make it look nice again!
    2. [STRIKE]HHI[/STRIKE]
    3. S&S the porch
    4. [STRIKE]Post any parcels/letters that need doing.. OR.. make a start on those tax forms!! [/STRIKE] Reminded OH about tax return.

    Really not feeling like it today...OH is back at work, which means I am too. I'd rather be resting than doing.

    Anyway, take care all, and have a good day,
    D
