    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.

    Morning ladies,
    Day off so let's see what i can do?
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'

    shall i wait till next week or can i start again from tomorrow??

    Am guessing you've just moved house? Congrats on getting all unpacked - it's a nightmare, isn't it? FlyLady would say 'You're not behind! Just jump in where you are.' So I think that's a 'start today' rather than 'wait till next Monday' :)

    Ok, my nose is like a tap and my eyes are streaming. Don't feel like going to college today, wondering if I will get any work done if I stay at home???????

    Anyway, WM is on and I have done the dishes. Going to empty and refill the WM and see how it goes from there........xx

    [STRIKE]Dusting, even if around everything [/STRIKE]

    The Cleaner came yesterday so the house isn't looking too bad. I'm only aiming for Level One this week as I have rampant PMS and today my anxiety is being a pain in the posterior too. Anyway, Cleaner did the hoovering yesterday and I've dusted properly today. I don't have kids' or spare rooms so that's me done for the day. Now, where's me knitting?

    Hi All,

    Please count me in again for this week.

    Sorry for absence, but the lurgi got me. Either that or my chicken casserole did. Bleugh.

    Anyway, onwards and upwards. Before the sick bug got me, I washed more dishes, caught up on the laundry and put it all away, got hair cut, got grocery shopping, found knitting shop and started knitting, had a general tidy, cleaned toilet...and then I cooked the chicken casserole.

    Since then, I've only managed to do a little knitting, get a drink and feel sorry for myself. Feeling better now though, and so much to get on with!

    Tonight's tasks:

    Wash dishes X 1
    WM X 1
    Tidy clean clothes away
    Make Dinner
    Empty & disinfect bins
    Change bedsheets
    Disinfect toilet
    Disingect doorhandles
    Knitting

    OK, I'm going to leave it at that for now, and see how I get on. Most important is to get rid of any lingering germies!

    And figure out a way to keep the mosquitoes at bay! Mmmmm.

    xx
