    Can we have a big wave for Mr Penguin, who's promised to follow our progress from his office desk, this week.


    Hi Mr P. :hello:

    Well done PP - I think that's round one to you.

    Not a great day for me. Got three drawers, plus other bits and pieces. Full on tomorrow for the toy fling boogie tango:D

    Flyboy! You sound downhearted. Please don't be, you've made a difference, so be proud! Everyone who's made a difference to their home and family is a winner.

    HANG ON!! IM THE JUDGE HERE :confused: :rotfl:


    Now, as earwig has no phortos, and shes new to us, Ill leave her out of the judgement.

    However, I have deliberated and seen the quality of the flying today, its a very close call. However, I have decided to award the TOP FLYER award for Monday to



    drumroll





    TNG as he was clearly up against it with the contents of those drawers ( admit it pen, his were worse than yours!)

    So well done TNG. You win a rare and coveted bottle of Starclen.

    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Hi FLYbabes & FLYboy/TNG - love this challenge. Is now a good time to confess to being slightly obsessive compulsive and having extremely tidy drawers / cupboards / shelves? :o Have been known to have cupboards full of tidily stacked tins with labels lined up and facing frontwards ! :o Family think I'm very scary :eek: but repeatedly call me round to declutter/tidy their places. Like Monica in Friends I do have a hotspot which is currently the office (soon to be replaced by loft) so I'm by no means 'perfect'.

    Penny / Earwig / TNG - I think you've all done a great job - don't forget to reward yourself with some fun with the kids, etc.

    Please can someone tell me how to dp the photo thing so I can join in. I have a digital camera and a laptop so I'm guessing that's a good start..

    Keep going!!!!! Punky xx

    Ok
    what you need to do punky is take the photos of those hot spots, then load onto something like https://www.photobucket.com ( quidco gives cash back for some of these as well ;)

    when you have loaded them on there, you can put the link in the image box ( where you type replies youll see a little postcard style icon) click that
    theres a box pops up

    Then go back to your photos on photobucket and i think !! what you do isright click - youll get a long menu, roll to the bottom theres one called properties. click that, then this SHOULD give you a web address. Copy that web address using mouse, and paste it into the box that came up from the image icon

    Then press Ok and it should display..... I think

    Estate agents coming tomorrow, so I hope that the professional photos will inspire you all :A :rotfl:
