    Think I will be flying around tv watching today in short bursts. Just pulled myself off the sofa to go and get some urgent lunch supplies but I'm back in pyjamas now and quite enjoying the lazy feeling. Going to start my 5 min challenges downstairs now, I think I have the energy for 15 minutes of work! Will report back then to make sure I go and do it!

    morning all

    well done everyone - you have all been very busy - must be the better weather spurring you on.

    today I have done dailies, dealt with the post - one othing was my charger for my ewbank so thats something else off my list - checked banking and sorted out reeceipts for shredding - checked ebays - have more bids and also sorted out the post office certs of postage so I know what they are for - wrapped a couple of things for postage next time I am out - and a couple of phone calls - so nothing too strenuous yet.

    off to find my list
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Panic not, no-one's going to think you rude; I'm sure with a small baby to look after, you have loads to do.:o Good to see you back, though.

    Candy's arrived; poor little lass has been diagnosed with emphysema, so I've got to administer medication with her evening meals.

    She's sleeping at the moment - just a couple of circuits of the back garden seemed to tire her out. I think she's missing Cameron, too; they were inseparable when they were here before.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    On paint? Warm water and a bit of washing up liquid to start with, light pressure,rinse well. Then bring out the heavy artillery or Jif if it hasn't gone. problem being, you may now have a clean patch and the rest of the wall needs cleaning...:D

    Many thanks! Off to give that a go in a minute.

    Almost finished the typing; just another 10 mins to go which won't take long. I need a break now as can't sit staring at the screen so will have to do this pm whilst the babysittter cBeebies takes care of S for a bit ;).

    Finished my challenges in the kitchen and bathroom for the week. I have almost managed to get around everything, not everywhere is clean yet but there are a couple less layers of muck now :D I have put on a list the areas I haven't managed to tackle yet and I will try and do those first last week. That leads me onto a question, I have some mould on the bathroom ceiling, just a quick wip and I can see it will go quite easily but is it ok just to use washing up liquid and water or should I be using something else?

    I am moving onto the living room now to finish my challenges in there. I'm hoping OH may help me with a couple things in there from my Toots list at the weekend, it will be easier to fly then.
