    That is over 7 weeks right????

    There is no way I can manage that in a week even in just 1 room.. maybe I'll not play.. I just want all the crap gone :(

    I won't get it all done but the idea is focus and not getting bogged down in one room. Every little helps and even 15 minutes on each day will be better than nothing. I'm going to be strict with myself and do the 'hard' stuff which I always leave when doing a room and think I'll do that next time - that time has come:eek:

    Time for a cuppa and then finish DS2 room.

    Diva - good luck vibes for you sweetie

    Dusty I like your plan for the week. I could do with more decluttering here.

    OT but has anyone heard from Lil_me recently?

    Today I have done zilch as my cold is sapping any energy I had. Men have been lovely today, DH has done 4 xWM and 2 x TD. DB and friend have made lots of tea:)

    DS1 hasn't emerged form his room yet. I am not going in there but he needs to clean off mould around his window today.

    Toots
    look after yourself, please:) ((hugs))

    pigpen You deserve a medal for not doing something a lot worse to DH. Sorry meant KH

    HI all, well i've done my back in again :mad: stupid cat jumping on me while washing the carpet grrr. She's not getting any extra cheese today.

    Well went shopping got soaked from to toe, i just can't get warm. Washed the upstairs landing carpet going to tackle downstairs tonight.

    so going to tackle putting the kitchen stuff away now and paint the wood work.

    My god dusty i can't get that done in a week :eek:, think i might just have to leave it and do what i'm doing now, ignoring it.:o

    [STRIKE]paperwork, including invoices[/STRIKE] - still have two invoices to do, but need a couple of receipts which are curently unavailable (in OH's wallet :eek:), so will do those later.
    sort car insurance, or wont be able to go anywhere - had a reprieve - when I found the renewal notice on the desk, discovered dont have to renew till middle of March (thought it was the end of Feb)
    order train tickets online for Monday's trip to London - need to wait for client to confirm times before booking train
    WM about three times (not done any all week; good thing it's only me and DH)
    kitchen - currently full of dirty dishes
    [STRIKE]declutter the top of the sewing machine so that I can....[/STRIKE]
    finish curtains for living room
    [STRIKE]clear my desk - cant find anything on it at present and the keyboard is almost buried too (hence any spelling mistakes!) [/STRIKE]

    Still cant do invoices, as OH hasnt emailed me with the amounts on the receipts :mad:

    Still cant get the tickets as client hasnt confirmed the meeting times :mad:

    Still cant do the curtains, because although the sewing machine is now clear, I need to move heaps of junk from the floor around and under it, so I can get it out without causing an avalanche :o

    Just off to do the kitchen and put some washing in the machine :)

    Back in half an hour - should be done by then.
