    Again not much done. Did my usual early morning S&S in the bathroom before ramming some toast down my throat and heading to Tesco. Had a nurse appt this afternoon but never made it as Tesco was sooooo busy and I really didn't want to dump my shopping half way round. (Did call the Drs though)

    Got back half hour ago and put a few bits away. Just want to go to bed now :(

    Will try and muster some energy later to have a bit of a tidy up in the bedroom.

    Also got to cook some dinner, but am cheating and having Vesta Paella as I really can't be bothered. :O

    Hugs and spoons to those in need. Virtual painkillers for those in pain and Congratulations to those celebrating.

    Hello all - didn't think I'd get online today; however, here I am, full of delicious pub grub (and half a bottle of Prosecco;)) and raring to go....NOT!:rotfl: Um.... Flying is deffo suspended today!:rotfl:
    it depends on what you have going on as to how much stuff you get done, personally i carry my list over each day but if it doest get done then so what, if ive time later on in the week i will do it but if i dont get round to it, its not a big deal.

    the first few weeks are the hardest as it takes a bit longer to do everything, next week its a bit quicker and easier and it gets quicker and easier each week going forward.

    work out whats best for you as some of us work, some are part time, some have kids, some dont etc so what works for one may not work for you :)
    Ah, Seafarers speaks a lot of sense!;) 20something, the way I do it is to keep my list going on a Word document for the whole week, posting progress then deleting what I've done to make it easier to see what remains. But don't forget, each room comes around again next week, so don't stress too much if you don't get it all done.

    What I did before I posted yesterday is already deleted - some of today's is already done or N/A, so here's how we stand at present:

    tidy the underbed stash of junk and miscellaneous gibble!! Rehome those dust mammoths!! N/A – all that's under the bed is the jigsaw board, which is meant to live there!:p
    Wipe all the doors and frames upstairs
    Level Three

    2. fill a binbag for the bin Done

    4. fill a binbag for recycling! Done
    Off to declutter a coffee, then we need to chuck some more stuff in our suitcases - some of the clothes I washed yesterday, for a start!:D

    Uropachild I hope your poor mouth is less painful now.

    Piggers I'm assuming Dot-stay-put vibes are in order. (Sorry, I know bug-all about pregnancy).
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
