    I've done a bit today but everything got pushed back a few hours as I had to collects my DD's at different parts of the city. 10/20 miles all the way there and back due to the snow.

    Anyways...managed to cook dinner, wm x 3, td x 1, discarded a binbag of rubbish, refilled another, emptied and refilled dishwasher, hubby cracked on with decorating the back bedroom.

    We're about to settle down and watch Toy Story 3.

    This is my first proper week on here so just wondered, am I allowed to start the Monday list tonight?

    i do, makes it slightly easier for me knowing that ive already made a start on the list, i love the kitchen list as once its been done a couple of times it really is just maintenance in that room :j
  • Wohoo stars! I am in and will try to get as many stars as possible! It will at least keep me warm!

    Just finished my ironing :D

    Thanks as always to everyone for the lists and support.

    Toots - special thanks for the stars, a generous and I suspect very time consuming offer on your part. I will try my best to earn some this week.

    The boys are so excited by the new beds that they have spent most of today playing upstairs, and have now gone to bed early. Can we have new beds every week.....?
