    Morning all

    Lovely and bright here but cold this morning.

    Well the new neighbours are definitely in now (although I have yet to meet them properly) and it seems almost the entire street has silver cars!

    Here's to a productive fly week be it full blown star hunting or (like me!) dot2dotting :D

    I am in, though in my own way and it will probably be like that until I make decent progress on my dissertation. I have my own list but it is things that have to be done. I am trying to keep the house tidy and vacuumed, dusting maybe if I have a spare few minutes each day. I think this is everything I need to do:

    DAILIES
    S&S bathroom M T W T F
    S&S kitchen M T W T F
    Keep floors clear M T W T F
    Shred/file all paper as it comes in M T W T F

    Keep on top of ironing M T W T F
    EXTRAS
    Take stuff to charity shop

    Post letter
    Collect glasses
    Drop car off for MOT
    At least 2 hours of studying
    HHE (if time)
    Book hotel for friends wedding

    Morning ,thank you pigpen,soappie and toots for the encouragement.
    I have made the most amazing discovery soda crystals,how have I lived my life without them up until now!
    I thought I'd get a head start this morning before coming on here and losing half of the day(it's so addictive and the time flies by) so I cleaned the cooker/oven with soda crystals wow can't believe how fab they are and they were only 92p!!!
    So convinced that todays list would be the kitchen I then washed the kitchen floor with....soda crystals so I can now have [STRIKE]two hours[/STRIKE]ten minutes on here guilt free whilst the floor is drying.
    Anyway now its the lounge so thats wiped my eye but won't do me any harm I might even give the hearth a little scrub with soda crystals:rotfl:

    Thanks to this site I have sorted out my finances and my housework next I need a miracle on my body.
    I work in a cake shop:eek:which is not easy and I've gained two stone :shocked:I'm ashamed to say. I have always gone to slimming world in the past since giving up smoking but don't want to do that so i think I'll go over to the lose weight thread and maybe put a little more effort into my flying.
    Thanks again for everyones support and I will be thinking of all those who need hugs
