    And.. gone by the weekend how??? Af is here for at least 8 days .. has been up to 16 on occasion.. not forgetting the whole of last summer!!
    She's been with me for most of the last 21 days this month :( and I'm not sure that after a couple of days off she isn't thinking about coming back. I'm getting seriously fed up. Must eat more broccoli and start running again...

    Hex - new month new start. I'm the same the flying has slipped hence the demon facing to make space in my mind for the actual cleaning, I need to get it so the flying can be done quicker. Are you missing the stars?

    I found the stars quite motivating in getting myself to do the final bits on a list, but I doubt they would have made much difference over the last few months. I just haven't been home much, and when I was I had people in the way. I am hoping having the house to myself on a regular basis will help me to get back on top of things.

    My big demons at the moment are paperwork and the clean washing. I worked my way through the ironing mountain earlier, and I sorted and put away half of the non-iron stuff so the worst of that job is done. Need to finish that tomorrow and then make a start on the paperwork. 15 minute bursts seems to be the way forward, but I am finding it hard to get started.

    just wanted to say what a nice touch the PM that Toots sent out is. As an 'old hand' at forums joining big and established threads doesn't bother me in the least but it's fab that you go to such great lengths to ensure that EVERYONE feels welcome and that they can successfully be a part of the thread :T
