Afternoon all

One load of washing blowing madly round on the line, it's a freezing cold wind but it's sunny.

Polished in the living room and computer desk (again) and vacuumed right through downstairs (again).

Hope everyone's OK.

Afternoon everyone

I've printed off the list for this week and am going to make my way through it over the weekend as I'm doing the declutter thread aswell. I've got rid of so much paperwork that its embarrasing really, antway that is all up to date now with all the hotspots that were growing now got rid of and everything is filed so I'm so very pleased with what I've done. Off to do the Linen bit now and hopefully some of the list

Hugs all round for those who need them

Had a good morning - done today's level 1 only :j (!), after doing dailies, taking kids to school/pre school, walked the dog, cleaned out chickens nest tray and any other bits needing doing, done a typing job and vacuumed right through. Put the bathroom mats and the cushion covers in the washing machine and hope they'll dry this afternoon as it's very sunny here.

Going out in the garden with DS this afternoon. Got 1 more typing job AND MY IRONING to do this evening!

Valli

bathroom clean - bathmat washed and on line in sunshine
gas fire serviced - gas man now doing boiler. Good job DD was languishing in the lounge earlier or I MIGHT have cleaned before the gas man came - I had forgotten the fire though he was just coming to service the boiler...
just having a :coffee: then I'll crack on.
I find it MUCH easier to clean when it's bright and sunny and I can have windows/doors open.
Managed to get DD to have some sleep. Ironically postie has just dropped a card through congratulating her on 100% attendance last half term!

Hello! :wave: I'm ever so tired today, can hardly function! However i've just forced myself to wash up so at least I've done something useful today. Before that I'd just been staring at the computer thinking: "i'm sure there is something i should be doing."
I've put the bed up so hopefully once I've had lunch I will be able to hoover under it and around it. We did one half on Monday after decluttering and then the hoover packed up! I thnk it's working again now. I really must not over do it today though as am going out tonight. Must rest this afternoon so I can go.
Good news is that the increased activity I've been doing this week is helping the weight loss, I've lost nearly two lbs this week so far! :j

I must admit when I came on today, I thought is was fab that the whole list was up - if I had a choice I would have the whole list in advance every week Nudge, nudge, wink, wink Pigpen??

You can, just print off the previous weeks lists. I've done it before and it's fab! A bit overwhelming for newbies though which is why we have it day by day I think.

Hugs Zoe, sorry about the court case xx

Hugs Me hope you are better today

Glad to hear Sebastian is being such a good boy and helping his mum, that’s wonderful!

Well done Valli

Hugs Rachel xx

Hugs Ishtar, thinking of you and your family xx

Soappie I hope all goes well today
