    Right, Moggins blue list set on it's own browser so I don't lose it!

    The bedroom has become a major hotspot so I do need to tackle it but thought I might go for the hall, stairs and landing if that is ok Miss! These are all hotstops and seeing as a friend is coming to stay next w/e ie about 10 days time (is that all eeeeeeek) I ought to concentrate on the areas they will see/move through!

    Blimey better get a wriggle on, school run here we come.

  • Hi there, just joined this website and not sure if this is a really stupid question but how do I view the challenge?
    Thanks!
  • I've just come back from the school run.......before I went I managed to do most of the dailies so little ones dressed and fed, dd's packed lunch finished off, S&S in the kitchen, WM on, TD on, DW emptied, SC on for dinner.
    I need to do some more painting in ds' room today so I'll see what I can manage to do of moggins list as well as the painting before I set off for work at lunchtime.

    Having problems with all sorts of websites not wanting to load today :confused: So I'm going to take advantage of this and finish my lists off from this week...this involves pulling out the computer desk :eek: It hasn't been done since well before Xmas so I'm not looking forward to it. :o

    • Dining room
    • Kitchen

    Right one hotspot done (the hall) but I have come to the conclusion that I have to speculate to accumulate so to speak ie at the moment I am adding to some of the other hotspots whilst I clear the first ones :eek: but hopefully as I clear the clutter from one area I will be able to put things away in that area, does that all make sense?????? If it does please explain to me! lol
