I'm amazed.
I used ketchup to clean the brass surround from our fireplace, it was extremely dull looking, and the ketchup worked, the surround is now very sparkly, and I didnt even have to use any elbow grease! Wow! I didnt really think it would work!
(and it was only cheapo Asda ketchup, not even Heinz:rotfl:)

I don't have any book shelves , books are currently stored in baskets/drawers in the spare room so I am trying to think of something to substitute.....any ideas????

DVD's or videos? Or sort through a basket or drawer of books and make sure you really want to keep them all for when you do get bookshelves? Or sit down and have a nice cup of tea and just strike through this task :rotfl:because you don't have bookshelves:D. Guess which one is my fave?

Monday is complete.

maria - pigpen updates post 1 each night with whatever the next day's tasks are. a new thread is created on a Sunday night , hence the new thread will have Mondays list, on a Monday night it will be updated with Tuesdays items being added and so on.
So the stuff on there in pink already isjust for today.
Until you get on top of it, its best to start by only doing Level 1 tasks, or only doing even just 1 task. You will find that by the second week it will take less time to do the same tasks again as you already did it once only the week before, so on week 2 you could do 2 tasks per day, or try for Levels 1 AND 2. IYSWIM.
Hope that helps

A good first day I think!! The living room actually doesn't look like a bombs hit it! My leftover Sunday Dinner pie was very nice too!

JillD - wow, I would like another child but I'm too scared. If I could give birth to a six month old (without the pain) I would have loads, its the first 3 months that kills me! You are very brave!

My water is back on now thankfully, the supply pipe must have frozen somewhere in the garden, but things have thawed out a bit now. I was looking at the forecast and its going to be 7 degrees here on Friday - tropical!!!

Stars and welcomes done to 270 and if there are any mistakes, it's Toots' slightly incompetant PA rather than the great woman herself so direct all complaints to me, not her!
