Hi all!

I'm new to these parts, having stumbled across you today. I haven't had the opportunity to read through everything fully because there's soooo much and I'd be very grateful if someone could help me out and will apologise now if the answer is here to be found somewhere

Housework and I will never walk happily off into the sunset hand in hand, so finding the "to do list" on the first post I'm hoping will help me get into a proper routine, but what I'm wondering is whether there's anymore to be added to the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday....like when do I clean my bathroom?

Here's hoping I may one day be on my way to being a domestic goddess :rotfl:

Thanks in anticipation!

Welcome to you DietCokeBreak - like you I wish I was a domestic goddess and was always prepared for any visitors but unfortunately that's far from the case here ! Just do what you can and you'll soon see a difference.

Wolfie, I know where you're coming from on the leg front! Going to have to dig out my epilator too as I'm sure one day it will be warm enough to uncover my legs and I don't want to frighten everyone :eek:

Carlsberggal, fantastic news re Danny - you must be so relieved.

Just finished doing all my MS reports from earlier; it went really well actually. Haven't done any housework but will try to do some once I've got DD from school.

Welcome. i'll give you one of these:xmastree:so the thread hierarchy see you and you'll get a welcome PM from Toots. None of us here get on well with housework that is why we are here - don't you believe them if anyone says anything different.:D

nuttyrockeress

haven't been around for 2/3 weeks and my name's been taken off the list

Does that mean I don't have to do any more flying :rotfl:

DH has been WFH a bit so has been keeping down the hoovering and loading the WM for me but other flying has been lacking other than the odd S&S here and there.

The stair posts have been primed and the tops of the rails have been varnished. Just now need to gloss the posts and skirting and paint the new paper and the stairs will be finished so I can get a new stair carpet to make the house look so much better without the revolting thing that's been down since we moved in 9 years ago :eek:

I'm off work ill today and tbh don't think i will manage any flying as the slightest movement starts me off coughing and i'll spare you the rest

Hope everyone has been ok whilst i have been awol

Wonder how long I can keep this standard up, since I've not been there since Friday might be a while :rotfl:

Afternoon all,

first chance I've had to post this week!
Thanks to the usual three for the lists & motivation. :T

I haven't had chance to read much of the thread, but lots of hugs & positive vibes to those that need them.

CBGal good news! Really pleased for you.

ETA - Lamewolf - I have a plethora of dragons! They are all congregated (what's the collective noun for dragons?!) in my lounge though.

Flying wise-
