Do have to report that I failed on the ironing challenge but there is not too much so shouldn't take too much to catch it up.

Phew! It's not just me then who didn't manage it. We've been soooo busy these last few weeks that ironing has taken a back seat. Fortunately I've managed to pretty much keep on top of the general tidying and cleaning and even managed to do a major clear out and tidy of DD1's bedroom. I have been good and done lots of ironing today so that's made a reasonable dent in it but there's still more to go!

Just had a fab idea for Miss A's birthday. She wanted to do something with her friends which was different to anything that has already been done. Cue lots of brain wracking as her b'day is soon and I can't (won't) spend a fortune (which she knows and understands). Then tadahhhhhhhhh a climbing wall party

Fingers crossed that I can book it in the morning, she now has to decide which 5 friends to invite as 6 is the max for the party.

We did this for DD1 when she was 6 and she loved it! The kids felt a a real sense of achievement for climbing so high and doing something they'd not done before. I'm sure Miss A will love it too.

I think I'm going to make a list of what I need to do in January. I'm going to try and make it realistic and acheiveable and if it works, perhaps do the same for February. I need to have a think about it and I'll post it later in the week when I've got it written down and thought through properly. Nothing major, just things like going to the gym, decorating DD2's bedroom, etc.

Anyway, I'm heading to bed in a minute, so night night everyone!

Evening campers, thank you to FCC for keeping us all in check

Count me in this week please I am going to sit down tomorrow, once I have dragged DH round Mr A's, and write down a list of things I want to do/get done for the year. I do have a 101 things in 1001 days on my blog but I think it has run out now..lol. Although it might be worth me updating it and then popping it on the FB group That way I am accountable to others, so might actually get it done..

Anyway finished watching Miss Marple so will head off to bed with my book

Hugs to everyone, especially Toots - hope you are feeling better honey. xxx And extra special hugs to LL - love you sweetie, shall be back to my birdie texts when DH goes back to work on Tuesday xx

Hi ladies. Can I join please??? I know I've done this in the past, but I've always tried to be too perfectionist and fallen off the wagon. I'd like to try again, as a new year, new start and all that. I'm so busy that I know some days I'll get little done, but I'd love to give it a go!

Thanks for this!
