    Well done Rosepink xx
    Poohbear, Thats great news xx

    OK, I am going to have something to eat, then see how much ironing I can do before the school run. Then, when we get back, it's book reading and making rice krispie cakes.
    (Does anyone use the cheaper version, not sure whether to switch from Kellogs as there seems to be a lot more sugar/fat etc in the cheaper ones?????) TIA xx

    Hi

    I know it's a bit late in the day but could I join in please?

    I've spent most of today cleaning and tidying but I never seem to get the place looking as good as it could and I do lose heart a bit (and give up frankly!).

    I need to be more organized so will have a read through the thread and start properly tomorrow.

    Afternoon all,

    Hope your all feeling as good as can be:)

    It's only day one and I've completely lost track of the tread already :( Oh well the cleaning is done for today, only thing I need to do is empty WM when done

    Didn't managed a HHI like I had planned so might try one this afternoon if my CBA mood passes
