    Taken DD2 to school, she declined to take her crutches as she wants to 'manage'. Met with head of year (a new one) and she was very supportive which was refreshing.

    Hope DD is ok, saw she had her plaster cast off which is good. And ouch at the wire!! It makes a massive difference when you feel people are listening and being supportive doesnt it?

    Afternoon all

    I've been lurking rather than posting but I have cleaned all the house this week now. I've been baking too this morning.

    Really just posting to say that I will be really sad if I can't read a post from LW every day, even if it's just to say she hasn't done the list. This thread is about more than housework.

    That's great LW. Can't see Oz getting up to that.

    Currently on the train heading back north. Can't imagine what the house will look like. I'll need to start flying tomorrow and prepare an anniversary meal for Saturday. 7 years. How time flies.

    If we're having a competition for who has done least I think I'll probably win :p I have done NOTHING off the lists. I'm working on avoiding making mess but I'm certainly not getting anything clean. I haven't even cleaned the loo (tip for mr LW - put disinfectant down it last thing every night and don't flush till morning, and it won't need scrubbing very often)

    Id challenge that.. I havent even done dailies lol

      LameWolf :T:T Another Oblivion fan - OH and I are counting down the days to Skyrim too. (I'm even a fan on their Facebook page) Have you seen any of the trailers for it yet... it looks AMAZING!! :)
      I don't know it this will help or not but I work and OH doesn't. He generally does the dailies while I'm at work but if he's having a bad day and decides to spend all day having me time I don't mind doing them when I get in from work. What I'm trying to say is don't feel guilty about leaving things for Mr LW to do even if he does work full time. I would rather have OH take it easy and have a better day than stress over housework and make a bad day worse. I'm sure Mr LW feels the same about you.

      bonnie_bumpkins Loving the fly-lady bus :T

      greenbee and bonnie_bumpkins Love your additions to the list - sounds like a great idea to me :)

      Off to score off my list from last night...
