    Thanks Lamewolf.

    To be honest I think I have OCD as If I have a list it HAS to be all done. I am always thinking about cleaning/tidying the house but health gets the better of me, however I thought by following this thread I could get it done a little at a time rather than a mad deep clean every now and then. Plus cleaning can become so mundane that habits form and things get forgotten. I could not believe how dirty my cat flap was!!!

    Ninth Anniversary
    Have cleaned kitchen and bathroom tonight so quite pleased at that.

    Sun was on windows earlier - they looked dirty so will try and do those this week.

    Going to bed as tired out.

    Well I'm grateful you added it.

    Hope Squeak is feeling better tomorrow. Nothing worse than a sore botty.:(

    awh poor squeak hope the cream does the job and she is better tomorrow.

    have spent about an hour and a half shredding some old stuff from my briefcase (its on my list!) - was old letters and sentimental stuff but its done now.

    we had another minor thunder rumble and rain but calm again and very mild.
