    School shoes bought. Mucky old day here. Going to bake something next and maybe hoover and mop the floors. Day has passed so quickly.

    Wow - everyone has been really busy!

    Do you know what - I feel quite virtuous! It looks so much better written down and crossed off - I might even attempt the dining table later, which is toot mountain! Thank you everyone for your encouragement and kind wishes too!

    Ended up vacuuming the living room carpet too - extra brownie points for me!!

    Sawdust hoovered up :) DW emptied and refilled. Washing up done. Laundry liquid refilled. Lots of stuff put away. Need to do more putting away and tidying - cleaner arrives at 8am and I want her to be able to clean!

    Also want to have a soak in the bath and an early night, so will potter about in the sitting room while having supper and hope it makes a difference...

    Not sure where MrsChaos has got too as she was organising the Meadowhall Meet but I am happy still to go if anyone else is...

    I have PM'd MrsC so hopefully she'll let us know soon. I hope the meet is going ahead as I'm travelling up to Sheffield tomorrow ready for meeting up on Weds!

    I've done lots of little jobs today and have accumulated a bag of rubbish and more bits for the charity shop. Am half packed for the tripup north - need to finish that now.

    Done the above and also one load of washing, sorted recipes.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • I'm in this week, although you're all moving so fast I feel like I'm playing catch up already. Well done on all the flying so far ladies:T

    Need to be very organised this week as I'm back at work but need to improve the house before I go in for an operation next week :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Would be too ashamed if GP or district nurse saw how slumlike my abode is :o

    Will follow the lists, with a big focus on downstairs rooms that will be visible to visitors!

    Have a good week everyone.
