    Level Two
    wipe the sofas Done
    Vacuum the floors, including the stairs Done by Mr LW:A

    Level three
    Wash any curtains/nets soft furnishings that need it N/A
    Vacuum under any furniture you can safely move Done by Mr LW:A

    Hello Ladies and gents,
    I have been absent AWOL for a while but I am now back. I have a new man in my life who is absolutely wonderful and treats me like a princess.
    :rotfl: Great to find one, isn't it? :T

    Still have my Brain Training to do today, and Mr LW has his WiiFit to do - only after those are achieved will I allow the champagne to be opened!;):D

    Ooh, where are my manners? - thanks for the Fred, FCC.:o

    Frog munched *licks lips* new year diary filled in - am going to run 1 diary this (academic) year then I know what's what at work AND at home.
    Have also bought birthday card for friend who's 50 next week (not seen her for many years, we met at High School) and have written (well typed) her a chatty letter. Going to post it EARLY in case she's off on hols. It's UNHEARD of. I also have cards for BOTH my sister's wedding anniversaries - One in August, one in September and a card for my BIL. I'm scaring myself!

    three weeks after little girl was born and SPD / back ache isn't getting better. Health visitor has referred me to physiotherapy and said I'm not to iron or vacuum:D! House is a tip but we've found someone to come in (Wednesday) for a couple of hours just so house looks a but more reasonable. of course this means the budget has gone for a Burton but the pain I was in after ironing and vacuuming simply wasn't worth it. However I am trying to do little things (putting away, bit of dusting etc).

    Half the roof de-fogged and half the guttering done. Totally shathered now and hubby is too so we'll leave it to another day. Not sure if hubby still wants to cut sticks, if he does great and if not i can get on with what needs doing tonight.

    List for tonight
    1) fill in form for refund
    2) fill in form i've been putting of for months
    3) wrap 8 ebay parcels
    4) meal plan for week
    5) find a small book for all me meassurements and stuff
    6) find my handbag
    7) get a bath

    Looks like it might be a late one..
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    vanilla,brilliant news about the refunds. I hope things are becoming easier for you now , huge hugs.
    cat You don't have to do everything on the lists yourself. I sometimes print up the list and DH or DSs do the heavy work. I appreciate you have a long time to wait until your littley can help but maybe your OH can do some?

    I haven't ironed in 23 years :D DH did it and then DD and DSs. I almost tried it today but my wrist gave up so I got out of it. :rotfl::rotfl:

    I like this a lot though DH does help out... a bit - he took DD1 (2yo) out to play in the garden after dinner today - she normally gets wingey and whiney between 5 and 7.30pm, which coincides with DD2 going through a feeding frenzy... Sadly he's no good at ironing and I hate wearing crumpled clothes (unless we've been fooling around to get them crumpled:p:rotfl:
