    Hi, i don't normally post on this thread but i'll give your challenge a go too soworried. I think i'm in all day so hopefully this will get me to do a bit around the house as i usually find it just about impossible to get motivated.

    Soworried you are doing brilliantly and it sounds as if your OH is very supportive.

    Not a very productive day on the demessing front as we spent the majority of it visiting our friends for lunch & dinner.

    I'm not sure anyone could keep going that long. Mind you, it'd make short work of the de-messing, wouldn't it? :rotfl:

    SoWorried - you really have been getting busy, well done!!

    Not got much done here today, had to tell our worker that he is being made redundant yesterday and i feel terrible for having to let him go :(!

    Today i've hardly been at home, had a kids party & tennis training so we've been busy doing other things!

    Tomorrow i'm going to do the ironing and put it away even if it kills me!!

    It's a farmers life for me......:j

    Well some friends called yesterday unexpectedly and for once I wasnt cringing with embarrassment about the state of the house so thats a first! The utility room is already starting to collect "stuff" again though so I need to nip that in the bud!

    Well done SoWorried I think there is going to be no stopping you now!

    And come on FW - get that iron out! I will do mine if you do yours. Will report back later with progress. Want to do some baking today too and get some cakes and buns in the freezer for hubbys packed lunches. I like baking so it doesnt really feel like work.

    Having a coffee and breakfast now and will then decide what i shall do in the next hour.
