Morning,

I didn't check in yesterday as I was back to school. I stayed up until silly o'clock last night marking but at least have half my marking done so I don't feel quite as bogged down with it all. The twins are in school all day today so hopefully I can get quite a bit crossed off the lists today, especially whilst the littlest monkey is (hopefully) napping later on.
I don't feel great this morning so hoping it is something I will snap out of rather than slide into!

I feel somewhat overwhelmed by all you energetic folks, but would really like to join in - although I may have to lurk for a while to get the hang of this.

If my house is marginally cleaner, tidier and more organised at the end of 2011 than the end of 2010 I would be delighted. I have started having forays, but having some helpful suggestions to follow and reading all about efforts is very motivating.

Off to print your inspirational list for the weekend. I know my pan drawer is definitely in need of attention!

Morning ladies. Room and kitchen kept up with, landing kept up with, beds made and toys tidied. Will have to do bathroom Friday as that's the day i don't have DGC. Dental appointment in morning so DS and DD only at school in afternoon. Hotspots to tackle are botton of my wardrobe and computer cabinet/dumping ground. House starting to look lovely and makes me feel so much better when i have a routine. Will have a lovely soak in bath tonight and have a bit of me time. Hugs to all who need them x
