    Got loads done in the garden at the weekend, bedding plants out into cleared borders and loads of play time with DD. Got all washing sorted, still got ironing to do but at least that's only a small pile and it included huge bag of children's clothes from my sister. Still need to Spring clean though.

    Sorry I haven't posted for a while, had a rubbish few weeks!
    Getting back on things now though and am going to start doing my 60 minutes again tomorrow in an attempt to cheer me up and get me motivated again.
    Better get an early night ready!

    This is the best idea for a thread I've seen in ages. :) I hope no-one minds me joining in.

    I work from home, so although I almost never watch television I am terrible for the "I'll just check Facebook / read the news / look at this website etc, etc etc...." and before I know it, half the day is wasted.

    I've spent the best part of an hour reading this thread from start to finish, but I don't consider it wasted time because I found it inspiring enough to get off my backside and clean out the chinchilla cage, before wiping down the doorframes and skirting boards in the kitchen. Think I will also give the kitchen worktops a quick clean before taking the dog out. :)

    Thanks L2B, it worked!

    Could I book another kick up the bum for this evening please? I need to get my budget sorted AGAIN as I have let it lapse AGAIN. I also need to clean my floors and sort out clothes ready to ebay/Cshop.

    Kick up the bum required at approx 6pm please!!
