      I'm sooooooo excited. For the first time ever I am going to get a star!!!
      I have done everything except check the smoke detectors. However, I have just returned home after popping out for some bread and milk to find DH has come home from work while I've been out and gone to bed with the flu! All I need!! Really don't want to wake him with the smoke detectors so I'll have to check them later when he wakes, but I will do them.

      Thank you to those that said hello. :0)


      I will sit down again later on and read all of this thread again. So all it basically is, is the list gets given at the start of the week, and you have to do it all by the end? Or is it in a day? :eek:

      I've let things slip badly and need to get them sorted out so hoping this will give me the kick start. Plus reading how much everyone else is doing too helps. :A
