  • Hi Newbie here

    I have been following this thread for a couple of weeks even if I have not joined in :)

    You have all inspired me though and for the first time ever there have been no pots left in the sink overnight for the last 2 weeks! The bathroom and toilet have been S&Sd most days and the dining table was clear - that went to pot over the weekend. It is getting easier and I am getting more done each day so hopefully will start joining in with the lists soon.

    First of all Gratz to pigpen on your new little one.

    I haven't been here in quite a while so nice to see good news as the first thing I see when I returned :)

    Joining in with this. Things have gotten a little out of hand here and I need to borrow someone elses organisational skills for a while ;)

    So far, dishes done, kitchen swiped and a binbag of junk removed from one of the bedrooms.

    coffee, then back to it.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts :T

    Don't throw away food challenge started 30/10/11 £4.45 wasted.
