    Morning all, still catching up.

    I've done the kitchen/diner this morning, also the hallway (including computer desk) and up the stairs and I've damp wiped in the living room and vacuumed.

    One load of washing done, out for an hour but it's raining now so it's draped round indoors. Still blowing a gale.

    Going to finish catching up now.

    I shall join in for the last 15 mins too, in having this darn shower.. I got a bit carried away looking for Diva's Aunt Sallys Apple cake as I thought I would make that today, seeing as I have all the ingredients for it and it would be a lovely sentiment for Diva :)

    So off I go for my shower - and what's the betting my new Hairy Bikers book turns up while in shower..lol

    Thoughts & hugs go out to those who knew Diva.

    I am in this week a little one handed though. I have to wear a splint on my wrist for 10 days and already the house seems a little less loved than it has since I joined this group. I will try anyway. May not manage hoovering.

    Ermutigung wirkt immer besser als Verurteilung.
    Encouragement always works better than judgement.

  • Count me in again. Am attempting to manage all level 1 again this week (I'm bound to manage it eventually!). Am starting once I've decluttered fridge and managed to unpack half the tesco delivery (he made it through the snow thank goodness).

    Would like to do whole list in memory of Diva but suspect health will get in the road so I think I'll aim to have it done by the end of the week.
