Hiya all - TNG, don't worry about HOW MUCH you do - it's not a race
Sadly I can't join in today, I've had a few bad days and don't expect this afternoon to get any better, BUT I have cleared the desk where I'm sitting, which is the 'hot spot' in our home. I've a ton of things I WANT to do, but will only do the absolute necessities today.
I wish you all a happy flyday and hope to join in tomorrow or later this week.

Hello to everyone new who has joined.
Jo - it is the thought that counts! I keep telling myself that doing a little bit is better than nothing at all. Amazing how the little bits add up. Hope you feel better later.
We are just back from the supermarket etc and I am about to put DS2 to bed, hopefully then DS1 and I can make a start on key areas. He likes polishing so he can do all the woodwork for me.
More viewings on the house booked today so we need to stay surface clean.
We are on Monkeys greatest hits - oh bought it for me as a joke but the boys quite like singing along!'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
I did have Housework Songs playing but now it's the Ultimate Disney Princess album, I just love singing along to that

Hi everyone
My nerves are a bit shattered today...not sure what's up, so taking things at my own pace. It's lunchtime, and also time for a sit down, hurrah!
Achieved so far:- ran then emptied dishwasher, put everything in its rightful place
- cleared kitchen worktops, Stardrops-ed then Zoflora-ed them
- washed some bedlinen - it looks like it might rain so it's indoor drying for that
- remade my bed (lovely fresh bed tonight:j)
- gone through my big pile of papers and removed stuff which belongs to one particular file and filed it. This is a big job, have to keep chipping away at it.
- sweep kitchen floor
- vacuum the front room including sofas (flipping cats though I love them really)
- spend at least another 15 minutes cooling my office hotspot (ie filing)
I'll see how it goes this evening, but should get a few other odds and ends done.
Keep up the good work!
