    Well, not done well at all today, did sweep the kitchen floor, and cleaqned the oven (inside and out) but thats about it, so cleaning the kitchen floor, wiping the cupboards and fridge down and cleaning the hall will be added to tomorrows list. Mind you, i do the bedrooms at the weekend, so as long as im feeling up to it (still not 100% after my bug at the weekend) should get on top of most of it tomorrow.
    Have a good rest of evening, im off to bed!!!!
    Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Oh, i did catch up on all my paperwork too!!!!

    Trust me to attempt to post without taking a copy first :eek:

    Ok, well DD and I have been ill with tummy bug so very little living let alone flying has been happening. However, we're both feeling a lot better (rushes to touch wood).

    In true Moggins style (big hugs btw) I am not going to attempt to play catch up, but will attempt to follow:

    Tomorrow's list looks fairly achievable, especially as I've already done bedlinen and hoovering in bedroom. Dusting will need to be done. Hall - I will attempt to remove the dangerous objects (do saws, stanley knives, axes, drills - count as dangerous objects!!) but not dust or hoover, no pt DH is still destroying (sorry "renovating") the hall.

    In addition, I need to do:
    • Business Paperwork
    • Personal Paperwork
    • Entertain DD without the aid of TV, poor girl was a) getting bored by cbeebies, b) getting square eyes.

    No, no, no - "not done well" does not constitute having done that much - "not done well" ranks along my lines of today's attempt of had bath, got dressed, did 3 loads of washing (took all day and needed help of TD), cooked dinner, changed bed .... laid down lots ..... which I was quite proud of, as yesterday's was ..... got up, laid down, got up, laid down, repeat as necessary until day was over .... this stomach bug needs shooting!

    Thanks to ScaredyCat and JulieJim - hopefully I will pick things up as I go along but I will no doubt get confused and give you a shout when I get a bit overwhelmed. I'm off work this week so I'm hoping I can keep up with the challenge this week and do plenty of groundwork ready for when I'm back at work next week :)

    Tomorrows lists up, you've achieved what you have done, look at it that way instead of the negative what you haven't done!

    that is so true - today I wrote down everything that I had done instead of just crossing stuff off a list. It made me note the things that were off-list that I had acheived and i felt better about the things i hadn't got round to when i saw all the things i HAD done. :D well that made sense to me:D

    double decker buses do go right past my bedroom window though :rotfl:

    can anyone advise us on which is the dyson attachment best to use to clean the mattress with?!

    right, so after a decent meal i felt much more human and have done the kitchen. its not perfect, but its looking sparkly. haven't mopped the floor, have swept it well and will give it a quick mop tomorrow.

    i've also put some clean washing away, unpacked my case, thrown some old flowers away, emptied the shredder and done a hotspot in the study. so i can go to bed content

    ....anyone else wonder if they have obsessive complusive disorder or some kind of control thing going on?
