    I'm seriously having to get in this week. Sort of tailed off on Wed and need to keep going - GC is better, but it takes less effort NOT to go shopping than it does to get the hoover out. Surprise!.

    Thanks for the list

    2xDS bathed and in jimjams, not long until bedtime I hope.
    This week I need to find some corners to my rooms, they are hidden here somewhere. Think I'm going to make a "Toot's List" too

    :wave: I'm in, many thanks FCC; just grabbed my list for tomorrow, and it doesn't look too bad, once I've marked off what Mr LW has already done (bless him, he hoovers the whole bungalow at the weekend every week:A) and what is N/A (plants and pets, for a kick-off).

    Supposed to be attending the Moot tonight, so I'd better zip off and put some warpaint on.:D Mr LW has just checked the itinerary, and it's a talk on staffs and wands.:o

    See you tomorrow, duster at the ready!;)

    Thanks again for the list. I am out at a meeting (if I can find childcare!) so looking to make a start tonight.
    Aside from Monday's chores, I have about three WM loads and possibly one DW. Also need to s&s the bathroom. Gonna work on that in the breaks during the film dh has just put on. I'm feeling a bit restless tonight lol

    Hi Ladies

    I used to be a regular poster upto a couple of years ago when I returned to work and then just found it impossible to keep up with the thread.

    Hi Shell - I think you used to be NW Leics, and I was the scary stalker who recognised a photo of some bricks :D. Good to see you posting!

    Also working more hours than I want to think about, and we may have visitors at the weekend so plenty to do.

    ETA Thanks to everyone for the support and the lists
