Not done a lot, but removed a cob web does that count?

Definitely. You should reward yourself with a cup of tea and a piece of chocolate cake:p Glad the parcel arrived - hope the project goes well!

Have been across on the decluttering thread and have done reasonably well on that score, but not much from the lists. My house is a tip, but a slightly less cluttered one:o

Many thanks Jo - you've got quite a routine going there haven't you! Some things happen naturally for me (ie dailies of WM and hanging up to dry /put away etc, DW, making beds - but it's the extra bits I find hard to juggle with everything else.

A big thing is if the house gets bad my depression plays up, so if I can do at least something as well as the house looking nice it keeps me mentally healthy too iyswim. Walking the dog keeps me well too, so that's an important part of the day for me.

I'll get there but thanks for sharing.

ETA - Pen... I assume you can deal with the spammer :D:D

My computer has an off button and I'm not afraid to use it - off to bed with my book and a glass of Port now :beer:

I've dealt with the pasky spammer :mad:

See you all on the morrow.

i'm still feeling really weird post-migraine - note to self - a bad headache and swimming with 28 6/7 yearolds is not a good idea!

Dunno whats up - feel a bit parp...but have noticed that Aunt Flo is 2 weeks late! Very unusual......AND NO _ [EMAIL="I@M"]I'M[/EMAIL] NOT PREGNANT - I'm far too old for all that!

So I'm wondering if it's the other thing - ie the menopause - fellow flyladies - any tips on how to survive?

Find a cave, get in, come out when its over......other than that, Ymea or Black Cohosh amongst others is supposed to help...
