I haven't had a very productive day today, as I had to go for a colposcopy and had a biopsy, and now feel like poo. I did manage to do a bit of tidying, arrange for a charity collection and send an email that I've been meaning to for ages, but otherwise I'm staying in bed and reading.

Bless you, I had one of these a few years ago, hope you feel better soon, put your feet up and be kind to yourself.

This is a very productive day!!! You have spent hours taking care of your health, have done some bits and bobs and are now recuperating in bed which is much better than watching tele re-runs! Well done

Not actually sure what to count for my 60 minutes yesterday as I did loads and barely looked at the pc or tv all day! So counting it as achieved;)

Today is pretty hectic but I'm adding washing bedclothes and tackling the ironing as my 60 minutes

This thread has made me do so much more than usual this week. Great idea op!

My 60 mins last night:
Cleaned the lounge and hall carpet (with new Bissell my hubby purchased, for a great sale price plus 10% off). He was out on work do overnight so was not tempted to veg in front of telly with him and lounge was clear to dry.

Starting off
All normal household stuff which has gotten out of hand: Washing, ironing, dusting, hoovering. 60 mins forced me to look around the house at what needs doing and I'm ashamed at the level of dust and cobwebs. Essentially every room needs a full Spring clean, including cleaning the carpets. So that is my first aim for my 60 mins, start with 1 room at the top of the house and work my way down.

Going forward
We're investing in a loft ladder with my work-bonus so that we can clear the spare front room and use as my home-office/guest room. (currently this is a junk room for everything we want to keep but won't be used for a while - baby clothes, toys etc. I've not given up on the idea of a 2nd child although it is proving elusive). We can move this lot into the loft and E-Bay/Charity shop the rest. So this will also be tackled under the 60 mins challenge.

The Garden - pruned, cleared, tidied and re-planted for Spring.

And Once all that's all done and I'm maintaining a tidy house! I'll tackle:

The Projects

• All CDs copied to the external Hard-drive.
• All digital photos organised and best ones loaded onto the Electronic photo frame.
• All sewing projects started but not finished and all purchased and identified sewing projects completed.
• Re-decorate each room.

Looking at all that, I think I need to use my 60 mins a day to research cloning myself!! :eek: :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I've completed one of the assignments, printed, referenced and filed them - big job because i've let it slide. I'm about to go and make some Twinks Hobnobs. Its close on 60mins at that but I'll declutter the dining table afterwards (everyone ditches stuff on it as they pass through the house and it drives me mad - even when we clear it off to eat on it mounts up within hours again)!

Our garage man is on his holidays so couldn't book the car in for the MOT until Monday

Oooh, will do a bit in the garden tomorrow - if it strays dry

I finally went to the gym today. I registered a month ago, but haven't been bothered to go, until today. I also got my eyes tested and chose a couple of pairs of glasses, but not all within 60 minutes, obviously
