Hi all,

I have just found you from EllieA's thread and would love to join in. Our house is a tip and we need to get organised. It all seems fairly self explanatory, or am I missing something? I just do the tasks I can off the list, for instance today I will only manage level one. Is that right?

Keep it up all, you are an inspiration! :T

Car cleaned out, not been done since before the snow. Yuk yuk!
Rabbits done.
Now for a sit down before the school run and madness begins!

Afternoon all,

(((Helenj & Paulies-nixie))) thinking of you both

Valli I got within bum-pinching distance of Russell Brand when we went to see him a couple of years ago. My nerve failed me I'm sad to say - I didn't think I could cope with the consequences! I think the piccies are on FB.

I'm off for a HHC at 3.15 if anyone wants to join me?

Sunnygirl_2

Just finished HHC which turned out to be 45 mins. But I made a really good start on bedroom. Still a lot to do..(it really was that bad!), but I did...

wiped chest of drawers, dressing tables, windowsill, bed
almost cleared floor (onto bed but at least its nearly clear LOL)
almost finished vacuuming

I'm having a 10 minute break then I'll do another 10 mins before I've got to get DD1 from school.

Helen Jelly and Nixie you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers at this time..xx

Hi All,

Had a bad night and ended up being woken by the postie at half twelve.. disgusting! Then I got my assignment back with a 69% grade, instead of seeing the positive my BD leapt for joy and has been attacking me ever since. I have however, with my mums motivation been out and cleared one of my very messy garden borders. At least now the primroses have room to move instead of being strangled by unslightly weeds. Dug around for my secatuers which I could not find so have only done that little bit but it looks better so it is a start.

The insulation surveyor came yesterday and apparently I have about 1inch of loft insulation which should be 10 and nothing in the walls. That is now booked in for 1st March so that should help, being so out in the open here and detached I have nothing to block the wind so he said I was a priority apparently. Well whatever, it will help keep the heat in I hope.

My brains a bit mushy today so I am going to be gentle with myself and not try to do anything too taxing, got to sort out things for my benefits appeal too but tbh nothings going in so I will look at it tomorrow when I have seen my counsellor.

Ok.. Listy,

Eugh.. I want to curl up in a ball and hide from the world. Tbh the house is pretty tidy but there are a fair few bits on there that have not been done in a good while.

QUESTION>>> Does the microfibre cloth thing and vinegar work on laptop/ flat screen tv's ok?

My tv screen is a disgrace, I accidentally got some polish on it and well, when the sunshine is on it it looks awful but I do not know what to use on it to clean it!!

Ok, gonna drink coffee and make myself a 'cheer up you grumpy bum' playlist before doing owt..

Love, Hugs and Spoons
