Despite only finishing one list it's not been a bad week

Apart from the tomato sauce explosion and dropping a glass onto a tiled floor this morning (you know that moment when it all goes slo-mo and you watch the blinkin' thing bounce before it lands again and shatters into a million pieces?).

I've given away my Dyson - all hard floors now so hardly need a vacuum cleaner. Gave it to my mum so she doesn't have to cart hers up and down the stairs. In return, she's buying me a hand held wet and dry vacuum and one of Lakeland's floor dusters. Drat, no excuses then...

And - I'm still in my dressing gown. I love Sundays

Hi all, hope you all had a good weekend, we made it to the caravan in Good time considering the motorway was closed due to a serious accident (thoghts and prayers for those involved and the family of the poor soul who didn't survive xx)

Wil try and catch up on the thread but don't think I will be too successful xx

Oh, and Toots I did the sofas on Friday so will say MONDAY DONE xx

I am desperately trying to make some headway with this stupid dissertation. Have spent the morning copying info from the internet into word as I go away on Thursday and won't have any access. I kept getting distracted by looking for people I know in the marathon but am trying a bit more seriously now. So far I have managed 441 but needs to do A LOT more. Will report back later.

hi folks,

Well I didn't achieve any stars in our final push for them but I have had a lovely week in the garden and the house isn't too bad. I am in a bit of a flare up at present so will see how I get on next week. Probably back to slow and steady

3 small pinks bathed and brushed and set to filling a large box with the stray toys from the bedroom floor.

2 binbags filled with stuff for charity shop.. we now have 3 binbags and a larg ebox to be deposited tomorrow.. .. I am hoping to fill at least another 2 before the end of today.. but I appear to be having some amazing fake contractions which is perfectly normal for me at this stage and while they are uncomfortable they are ineffective but do tend to hinder progress somewhat!

I need to get the manky rug from the girls room as I told them they could have DD1's olf furry lilac rug..

Off to fill another binbag.. FLING!
