    Count me in again please! The house is looking much better and these lists do really stop me panicking when it all seems too much. Still lots of piles of clutter round but the non-cluttered bits look ace! Not ready to put the house up for sale yet but it's no longer a disgrace.

    Thanks ladies :beer:
    Updating soon...

    Thank you for the lists etc... I'm going to try to achieve some more this week. Just about to iron DDs uniform tomorrow and writing a "daily" list for myself. I'm letting the dailies slip again so I'm going to kick myself up the backside and get a grip again as its only 3ish weeks until the "spring holidays" (aka Easter holidays but Easter doesn't fall during it this year). Plus I need to start scheduling a HHstudy minimum as I have a uni assignment (resit so the only one due this year ;)) due 3 days after DD's birthday which is 3 weeks on Tuesday:eek:

    Right, off to do that bit of ironing. Night all :wave:

    Morning All

    Woke up when DH got up so an early start even for me - mind you I haven't got out of bed yet! Need to do a HHI and put the WM on when I get up which will be shortly as the dog keeps complaining that DH has put him back in the kitchen.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    I'm up and dressed now - WM and TD are both on and I'm going to do a HHC in the kitchen before I do a HHI.

    Morning all

    Cat fed and breakfast eaten. I'm having my cuppa and sorting work e-mails before doing the ironing I should have done yesterday and waking DS2 at 7am. Then I won't really get a break until the end of school.
    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Count me in again please!

    Had an 'interesting' couple of weeks with a very poorly extended family member, a funeral and our dog (not had her a year yet - she's almost 6) had a lump from jer jaw removed which turned out not to be malignant - much to the vet's surprise! However we are still waiting on the bone/tooth biopsy, which may well not be good news. Had our last dog PTS just under a year ago - I really don't want the same thing to happen again!

    Hopefully I can get back on the 'wagon' again - will give me something else to think about after work! Got the remnants of the week's washing and ironing to finish tonight too. Good luck everyone!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
