    You could split it down to 2.5 minutes each way.....

    Ha ha actually that would be hilarious to watch....seeing how much cleaning you could get done if you timed yourself for 2.5 minutes....then for another 2.5 minutes just did something really decadent, like.....burying your face in a large chocolate cake or up ended a bottle of vodka....

    Sorry...I'm just having a 'moment'.

    I think LJ should get someone in with a camcorder and set it up!

    I think this sounds like a great thing to try and I'm quite tempted to try, tho i think trying to clean the flat in 2.5 minutes might end with me in a heap on the floor in giggles...

    but min did you notice how your ever so helpful list turned into chocolate and a bottle of voddy??? I think LA's got the measure of [STRIKE]us[/STRIKE] you!

    Don't know anyone handy with a camcorder, but I could try and rig up my webcam and get you two on msn....but you might just see a flash of lyns as i bolt between the kitchen and bathroom!

    ok my darlings, my shaun sheep hot water bottle has been in my bed now for an hour and a half so I'm going to boil....only wish it were bigger, more masculine and, you know, alive!!! If mr right takes much longer in finding me I might get bored and have all the mr wrongs instead...:rolleyes:

    I'm working 12-8 most days this week (maybe, calling boss in the morn to reasses rota) so I might not get on during sociable hours, but I'll update any interesting or not updates. Have decided that matched betting might be my answer to paying the cc in full this month without increasing my od so am gonna have to make time to find out about that.

    sleep tight all xxx


    (ps min, the possible hottie did not come in today, but that was expected due to extreme champagne indulgnce predicted! for the rest of you, yes I may have found a new hottie at work...what am I like eh?)

    Fashionably late I make my appearance :rolleyes:

    Good to have an update Lyns and you've had some great advice from Mins and LA. Especially about doing housework for 2.5 mins and burying your face in chocolate cake for another 2.5 :D That's what I call balance!

    Take it easy this week and keep indulging on hotties, I need my fix of gossip ;)

    Look after yourself!

    hi lynsey

    my boyf and i went skiing! it was great fun - i def recommend it! great fun and good exercise. like you, i am a dieter as well... its never ending isnt it?

    going to get myself a nice notebook as soon as i see a cheap one and use it for debt free diary, spending diary and a food diary ( i do weight watchers ).

    hope work doesnt get you down too much, but as you said, you'll have a lovely fat pay packet at the end of the month!

    take care

    OK - I'm officially worried now.

    You want a large, male, living SHEEP in your bed???

    That's taking ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong too far.
