    LiT you put me to shame and there's only me.

    I think I need to sneak a peak at Fly lady and get to grips...trouble is I am hardly ever in long enough...oh the excuses..not good enough :o

    Great meal planning too. You will do really well if you tackle the not smoking as you do everything else...LiT's quit smoking support group is on hand. :D

    Thanks! Im gonna need it!!!

    Last week I lost 1 of the house phones, yesterday I found it :j
    Yesterday I had my mobile phone....today I cant find it!!! Im sure my memory is going. I did find the passports when I was sorting through all the cupboards in the lounge. Unfortunately they are all out of date and need renewing grrrrrrrr. Good job we are not going anywhere sunny this year haha.

    I did remember to take the mince out of the freezer for tonights lasagne so not all is bad lol.

    I really really really need to tackle the kitchen. I hate the kitchen, its the bane of my life. I usually do everything else just to avoid doing it. The lounge, bathroom and downstairs loo are still sparkly from yesterday so will just give the loos a quick swish round

    Your welcome hun :D

    I know what you mean, I put things down and then cant find them, look everywhere then go back to the first place I looked and guess what I find it, nevermind we plod on.

    I love to see the end results of cleaning but it the getting there thats hard :( My kitchen looks like a bomb site at the mo, need to tackle it too and make some batched soup.

    Catch you later

    Made lasagne for tea and what was left of the mince mix I have made into chilli. So instead of having chilli on Friday we are now having it tomorrow. Still need to get the kitchen organised so will do alittle bit more later. I think once the ironing piles have been sorted out it wont look as bad.

    So plan of action for tonight is:-

    Sort out ironing pile
    [STRIKE]unload dishwasher[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]reload dishwasher[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]wipe down work tops[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]sweep floor[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]mop floor[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]sort out utility room[/STRIKE]
