    Ah, but Zed, imagine how fabulous it's going to be when it is kitchen day...:D

    Things may not be quite as busy as they were last week (boss ill, him indoors up to the eyeballs finishing projects) so I may get as far as actually doing some housework inbetween planning and sorting for this weekend's record and book fair. Last week's ebaying was quite successful due to my specialised hoarding habits.

    But meanwhile, back to the living room to see how the invalid is.
    (Might have been too much :beer::beer::beer: and curry.)
    Any sign of Jojo, lately, or is she still mid-move?
    And Kez, even if it's a couple of minutes doing stuff you can do leaning on something or sitting down, you will feel better. Please feel free not to believe me;)

    Thanks ladies

    I am In - Monday's list is what I need to get done! Yay!

    My only other job listed as a must do is go see little M with his present :) Until I write my list ....

    I registered for my January courses today so this house WILL be sorted by then! I need to be able to study without having mountains to do at home especially as I've took on 90 points if it gets accepted. Introducing religion and biological psychology ..... Bit of a mixed bag.

    I don't want to speak too soon but my kids might actually be asleep as there is silence upstairs so I am off to check. If they are think I will be having an earlier night .... Off to check
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Evening all

    I'm kind of in this week - thanks to FCC! I've thought about whether dot-to-dotting or focussing on one room would be best for my challenge, so I'm going to dot-to-dot in one room at a time! ;)
    This week it will be the living room. Clearing first, then cleaning.

    I've already made a start on some of my other challenges: visited NN this afternoon, who is recovering from an operation. Also, the new wiper blades came in 51p below budget. :T Not much, but every little bit counts. And I've decided that the best form of exercise for the time being will be the wii fit. It's free, readily available and totally flexible. Starting tomorrow! :money:

    That's me done for tonight. I'll be back to one post per day from tomorrow.
    Have a good week, everyone, and thanks for all the encouragement.

    I'm in as much as possible - thank you pigpen and Toots :A :A

    I may take a leaf out of MrsChaos' [STRIKE]book [/STRIKE]list and concentrate on one room.

    So, my aim is all Level Ones and a blitz on my bedroom.

    Of course, if we get THE phone call at school this week, I may have to rethink!

    Night all, sleep well xx
