    Why not do part of the loft room when there's "study" things on the list? If the loft or garage ever appears as the day's room, I'm having a day off! I'm physically unable to access our loft, and we don't have a garage! :rotfl:

    thats a good idea - I feel like I'm getting on top of the main living areas now so I can start to do little bits up there too. There's a MOUNTAIN on stuff to ebay up there, plus I do actually need a trip to IKEA to get some more billy bookcases to organise some of my supplies - once I've got those I can crack on......<procrastinates>.............

    Hello ladies,

    Late appearance from me. I have had such a busy week with one thing and another.
    Have finished work now until Monday. I have a personal list of stuff to do as long as my arm.
    I am going to start on that now, and if I don’t slack, could have it finished within an hour.
    I hope so anyway….
    Then I am going to grab Mondays list and take it from there. Phew…..

    Hugs, spoons, sticks, congratulations and commiserations as appropriate.

    Catch you later
    Yesterday is history

    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'
