    Morning all,

    sink still shiny from last night but haven't got my shoes on as i hate having anything on my feet [throw back to my hippy days!!!!]

    Things I need to do today:

    load of washing
    change main bedroom bedding and wash it
    make up spare bed for tonights visitor
    clean stairs
    tidy computer areas
    clean main bathroom
    send lesson plans in for tomorrows lessons [i'm off work with a chest infection]

    By the time I've done that I'll probably be exhausted as my chest is still painful
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    sort out paperwork
    sort out and wrap xmas presents and make a list of still to get

    And Flyers todays Task is......


    Today I want you to grab those old toothbrushes that you have just for cleaning and scrub those sink faucets and tub faucets. It is amazing how gross those faucets can get! Just a little soap and water with the toothbrush will make a huge difference! I know this is on of those missions that makes you groan but it takes less than 5 minuted to do and those faucets will shine!
