    how do you guys get all this work done and still go online? If I switch on during the day I would do nothing.

    BTW what do DD and DS mean? I think I've worked out the other ones!

    We spend between 15 minutes and an hour doing each job then come back, read the latest posts while we have a cuppa and before we set off on the next task. Our 15 minutes here every hour or so is our reward for completeing a task.. or at least that is how I do it.. though some days I am here more than not!

    :j Well done Pigpen! Good luck on posting day! I can't cope with more than 10 items at a time!

    Yep, I use this to give me a break or I'll end up crippling myself, to remind me what's next, very disorganised otherwise, and as proved forget things if I don't check like going to post office :o

    Oh and to kick Pigpen if she's not budged since I last had a 'break' :rotfl: :p
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Be thrifty with your time, for lists copy and paste someone elses that looks kinda right and edit it :rotfl: saves typing. If I typed everything I post my fingers would be much shorter!

    Well once you have written that list the ancient way you have to copy it here and if we don't see things crossed off each day we all get to give you a cyber-kick-in-the-pants to get you motivated.. our best tips are loud funky music, lots of teabreaks and SUGAR!!!

    None of that prehistoric papery stuff here.. paper is for bottom wiping!

    Still here too, puppy got the poops :( so just had to disinfect floor again! :mad: (sat down so don't stand on it and mess it up) Nightmare when I wanted an early night (before midnight) but still have DS2s moto x stuff to sort for in morning, might just do it in the morning actually, kids will probably be up before 6am, aswellas DS1s usual 2am wake up (no doubt will still be saying 'rabbit rabbit hat' when wakes up as went to sleep saying it, darn magic shows!) and not leaving until 9am, sod it! Why do today what will wait until tomorrow! Resisting taking a laptop to bed or I'll end up staying up way too late studying again.

    Think I might go now, give other floors a once over then vanish to bed, after I load and start washer of course.

    Ah but i stick my lists to kitchen cupboard doors and a bit too scratchy for my delicate behind!

    And there's another one - DP what's that?

    Anyway I can hear him watching buzzcocks so I'm off to take a break from all this graft that he thinks I'm doing

    NIght night
