Morning All,
Went MIA over weekend, spent alot of time in the garden. At least the patio is weeded, & grass is trimmed - starting to look better, along with the house. Didn't get final star as used the list to start encouraging DDs to help out more - DD1's idea of declutter the bedroom floor is to.........put it on her sister's bedroom floor :eek: so will persevere with this and let you know the progress.

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 hugs0
