    do the lists vary week on week or do they stay the same?
    i'm glad its bedrooms todays as i have been putting mine off its the dumping room ,will have to do thursdays as well as going to london for a days training .
    wonder what delights friday will bring lol

    Hi elly - yes the list changes every week... Most big regular jobs stay the same but the tasks are changed to suit seasons and pigpen has a nasty sixth sense (or pixie spies) and knows somehow the nasty jobs you've been putting off. So there are some awful things appear from time to time too! But don't worry - start at level one and take it from there x

    LW extra pots sounds great to me. I always do extra, mash them and then freeze them for nights when I can't be bothered peeling.

    Wish I could send you a photo of the unconscious dog at my feet. He looks adorable.:D He hasn't moved in 2hrs.

  • Good evening :D
    Busy day today, but not much to show for it :(

    I took Little Miss Sunshine to 'Story Rhymes' at the library today, and then went in search for the book i was looking for. I don't visit libraries very often, and was having trouble finding the section, let alone the book :o Found it in the end. LMS was an angel :A She sat at a table drawing while I was looking (in my sight, obviously :)). She even whispered when she talked to me, because there were people studying nearby. I hadn't even told her she needed to be quiet. She is only just 3! :D Found the book :j Went home for some lunch before picking DD2 up for her orthadontist appointment. That took up most of the afternoon, so not much flying done today.

    I did empty all the bins, put out recycling & food bin, wash food bin, wash up, put on DW & do 1 load of washing. I am going to empty the DW & load the TD now, and clean up the kitchen. DS is at the school as they have something going on with VIP's and opening ceremonies or something. I wasn't invited as I am not 'important' apparently! :rotfl:I need to collect him later, and do some studying.

    i may update later :p

    Level one and my extras done today. The bedroom had got ridiculous, and it's not near finished. We had new bedding and curtains a while ago and the old ones have been sitting in bags waiting to be put in the loft ever since (a job I can't do) so once there's a few bags on the floor it becomes a dumping ground. They will be going up at the weekend by hook or by crook though, so no excuses. WM and TD are going on one more time once dinner has been scoffed and then I am doing my nails and going to bed! Night all x
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy


    WW 37lb (2 STONE 9lbs! :j ) lost since July, 11tybillion to go...

    Creeping in - not particularly quietly giving that I'm coughing, spluttering - and am fairly sure my cold has ended up with me having a chest infection as well .......... flipping typical.

    Just been round the house cleaning windows - however I fear that doing them in the dark means that the nose art I was trying to remove is probably now smear art! And I think my spiders are working overtime - every window frame seems to have a cobweb! I've swiped as best I can, but will have to get the step ladders out at the weekend and do a proper job in the daylight.

    Off to prep Mr B's dinner - hope he is more 'on time' tonight than he was last night - think the spinach was so wilted by the time he arrived home that it was just about in tatters!
