    At the mo I have a habit of doing the school run, coming home and looking at the list with a cuppa then watching something on telly, doing bits in the ad's, then before I know it, it's 11:40 and I have to go to work.....same in the PM....have lunch, watch telly, school run, then DD is home and I have loads to do.
    Put the fuse for the TV plug in DD's schoolbag, so you can't switch it on till she gets back :p

    Hi everyone. I'm sorry to have disappeared. I just don't have time to keep up with this thread. I'm still flying, and gave myself a star four days last week, but don't have time to read or post. Sorry.
    There's no need to keep up with the thread, but try to find time to post when you've completed a day's list and claim your star. Plenty of people don't keep up... if they did, do you think there would be as many stars ;) (mind you, if those who DO keep up didn't, there would be even more :rotfl::rotfl:).

    Thanks to the usual suspects. Love the new lists Piggers :D Not sure how much I'll get done this week, as i'm going to try to get myself back into an exercise routine now I've got the hang(ish) of eating properly again. But I'll definitely be keeping things under control and making a note of all the new jobs that need doing here.

    ETA - I HATE meal planning... but I'm trying and it's taking forever...

    Good evening everyone!

    Thank you for the lists & stars PigPen, Soappie & Toots.

    Have had a couple of hours in the garden this afternoon - just tidying, cleaning bird table, cutting back the raspberries etc. I can't believe how much better I feel in myself for just a little bit of sunshine :D

    Flying is definitely rubbing off on Mr C, he has cleared some of his piles of clutter & has thrown some stuff that he's been hanging onto for years just in case; 'it may come in useful'! We are currently putting some old video footage of the kids onto DVD so we can stash the video recorder which hasn't been used for 3 years in the loft.

    Here's my list:
    Monday ~ Kitchen, Utility and Dining Area
    Level One
    Wipe and replace small appliances
    Declutter and wipe work surfaces
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop floors
    Wipe units/appliances
    Clear and wipe a cluttered fluffy shelf!
    Level Three
    Tidy, clear and wipe the top of the washing machines and dryer
    Clean one small appliance thoroughly.. microwave, kettle, iron,
    Clean deterrgent drawers

    night all!.......
