Do you have room to squeeze in another newbie?!

I'm having trouble... I always used to keep a fairly clean and tidy house until I got ill. They think I have ME/CFS so I've not been able to do very much at all lately. DH has been doing his best but lets just say that things have been slacking a little (Bless him!) I'm thinking about trying just the Level one Lists so I don't over strain myself but still feel useful! I've made my Frog List and a BIG list too. I'm really good a lists - just kinda fall down on the 'doing' part!

Hi Purplesky, jump on in.
Juliejim - you can roast it with the skin on and then make it into soup. I always peel mine though.
mamaninie - how infuriating
Dusty - I bet my OH wants to go out too but I am ignoring him. Anti inflams before you go?
Joining you PP

Thank you as always for the lists and support.

List my Droopy & Brown dress on eBay

Ooooh. What size and what sort? I loved Droopy & Browns. Got my wedding dress and lots of lovely things from there. Was devastated when it disappeared.

Welcome Sharonr & Purplesky You have come to the right place! Good luck, and remember - baby steps

Well, I am up, showered, breakfast & WM is on. DH has gone cycling with DS & DD and the dog (this is a first, so we will have to see how they get on!)
I have just caught up on Corrie whilst having breakfast, so now I am off to tackle the kitchen. Luckily DH did a lot of it last night after we fed the 5000 with spag bol (well, 10 anyway ). I need to do the floor, the fridge & the freezer. I also MUST go shopping today, as we are out of nearly everything (teabags! :eek:).

So, off I go I will update later....
