    Morning folks,

    Socks paired!! none left over!!
    Cat fed
    Rubbish out, inc recycling into the right baskets
    Kitchen floor swept

    Currently OH's flight is cancelled, he is not home from work yet.....he wasn't happy yesterday, he will be even less now...I'm going to get him to ask for a refund, as it was long haul flight...if the plane doesn't go till end of week as an example then it won't be really worth him going. (poor adopted grandson, he is going to be sad, as there was a request for lego!!)

    Find some thing out of freezer for dinner tonight

    Have a good day , hugs if you needs some, and hi to all newbies

    Thanks to the list maker and star givers for all your hard work.

    I would love to do all three each day, but realistically, I am struggling to the point where everything is sooo behind it is going to take me weeks to get this place looking like it should!

    Essay, sorry, :wave: hello everyone, my name is Emma and I need help!

    Welcome - please, please, please don;t try and do everything at once, or you'll burn out and get nowhere :( Your house didn't get to where it is now in a week, and you won;t get it perfect in a week (I know - I speak from experience :o it took me about 3 months, but a year on, it's easy to keep on top of :) ).

    Promise me that this week, you'll do level 1 only, but do it properly. Join in a couple of HHCs (Half Hour Challenge - switch off the computer and do what you can for 30 mins then STOP and have a reward :T ). It's amazing what you can do in 30mins, if you put your mind to it :D

    Thanks to the usual suspects - and the one we have not yet pinned down.

    I know, but can't possibly say :whistle:

    Going to declutter DS to school, then start on the kitchen. It's raining, so a little potter in the polytunnel this afternoon, and more work on DD's quilt :)

    HI all,

    Just a quick post to say i am not AWOL but find it is better just to pick up the list and run away and then if there is any spare time, i can come back and play.( so sorry i have been very quiet)

    Thank you to the 3 + 1, i am so grateful to you each week.

    And as for stars ( and i totally understand)..................
    I will have to award myself with a G and T!( Dry week then:o)

    Best wishes .
    H XXXX

    ETA, Now shall i have the G and T as soon as i have won it ( G and T at 10 am sounds good and may help the day go by................or shall i save them all up..............hick! ..................then again.......................the most i have ever had is 3. Not a huge risk of binge drinking then.

    Hi everyone.

    After lurking all last week (no one can join in part way through the week can they? Please tell me no, it was my last week of excuses, lol) I am hoping to start on level 2 this week. Am looking forward to managing my time a bit better, and now dd (13) is back at school, and ds (3) is at nursery for 3 hours a day, I might just manage it.

    Will post my list later.
