Mrs Meister is henceforth to be nagged about smoke alarms.. 1 in a 5 bed 3 storey house is definitely NOT enough and we want you to be safe. I do NOT want your poor Mr Meister having to come rescue you.. if nothing else ring the fire brigade and ask them to come do a check.. it costs nowt and they fit good alarms for nothing.. I want that little Miss Meister safe and Master Meister.

Turky.. big hugs for you.. I hope we can lend you the strength ot get through the next few weeks xx

SAVEALOT hope your back is on the mend, take things slowly!

hello Amanda, sally, ballerina, ceebeeby (love the name!!)welcome to the madness!

also welcome to turks but so so sorry for your loss, what a horrendous start to the new year for you.

Mo2 - great stuff that the flying is heping with the state of nmind

pillion - sorry to hear of your family troubles, hope you are ok ((hugs))

1step - I presume FW isnt a very nice thing to be calling your OH :rotfl::rotfl:Took me a few mins to work it out. My DH is STILL obsessed with Call of Duty Modern Warfare on the xbox. Plays it til 2-3am at least, every night and ignores me all the while :rolleyes:

jinky - hope you feel better

toots - huge hugs honey, we all have bad days, you are definitley entitled and hope you feelo better today/tomorrow (depending when you read this LOL)
and if we didnt notice that you were away its becsause you make looking after the stars look so effortless. You always have time to say exactly the right thing to everyone, and please know that we all appreciate everything that you do on here :T
{ersonallY i dont read peoples lists of their own extras as it is relevant to me IYSWIM but it doesn mean I dont care

Re the big debate "To Chat or not to Chat" from the tail end of the old thread ...
For me, as well as the lists, its the chat and camaraderie that I come on here for. If it was just a list of housework items being ticked off I would print it out and stick it on the wall. I've received tremendous support on here, its been a godsend at times. I will try and reduce my chat (I know I go on a bit) but I like it here as it feels like home :D:D

I often do what Mudders says, edit orig list except when needing new stars.
I do leave a line item to show anythig yet to be done or one saying (eg) Monday - all done " as its so nice to see for the rest of the week
And I do have my own extras lists which I want to keep as they help me focus on actually getting them done, and are all part and parcel of keeping the household running smoothly which is the whole point of the thing

But I promise I will reduce the waffle :D

My first time on this thread, seen it mentioned around a bit and thought i'd give it a look over, seems really good and i really need to get the motivation going to get all the clutter of last year gone and the space i have looking better. Can't wait to read more! :j

:xmastree: Hi Maria and welcome!! Christmas tree so Toots notices you. Read the first three posts on page one as they are full of fantastic information, and Toots will send you a welcome p.m. later which explains everything.

Just remember - baby steps - level 1 to start with and then see how you feel and don't go doing too much at first.

Great to have you with us and hope I haven't forgotten anything!

Diva.x
