    Morning all. Aw, Pigpen, what a start to your day, hope it gets better.

    I'm working from home today as new cooker is being delivered later. So far I've cleaned the downstairs loo, vacuumed the living room, put first of four loads in the WM, and walked the dogs. About to put the washing on the line and next lot in and will then start on today's list before cracking on with the paid stuff.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning Flyfriends. I think my legs are starting to return from their holiday, but whether they will be the same as before or worse than before remains to be seen. Hopefully the Physioterrorist can help me get them working again, I will ring her later.

    DH needs a rocket up his asssskno questions this morning, but we are flying this morning wm is on and the bookcases in the sittingroom are tidy, we cleaned all the glass at the weekend.

    Bossymoo Mr T's Acers are lovely, I saw them yesterday. I shall probably get a couple and bonzai one. They also had some gorgeous potted Bays too. I'm going to double my points and spend them on garden plants.

    Piggers you really must get your 'pain' sorted out now, you've had it a while and its time it was sent packing.

    Have a lovely day one and all and take care xxx

    Thanks for the pointers. Might take the little ones to Mr T on thursday for plant shopping.

    I do still like the idea of an almond tree, though. Wanted something of a reasonable size already to get us started...

    Happy Flying

Ive been following this thread with real intrest as im not the best at staying on top of the house work, washing etc, I have been trying to follow and when I get a run at it for a few days its great!!! so I thought if i joined in and posted what I was going to try to achieve each day it would help me stay focused.
    I do work full time and have 3 teenagers DS1,DS2 and DD, a dog and 3 cats, oh and the OH.

    Today Im at home and Plan to do some batch cooking this afternoon, so ive got this morning to do the following:-

    Tuesday Level one and two
    and sort out the kitchen,

    Ill let you all know how I get on!!!

    welcome Doris, you sound like you have a full house. i find posting helps me keep on top of things. i dont feel guilty about what i dont achieve but it makes me feel good about what is done and i feel more motivated to try harder.

    just back from stripping now got to get ready for a meeting down the school. then i can fly.

    ive got about a morning worth of stripping left the bit of ceiling over the bath, so not the easiest bit. then got to wash all the walls down ready for painting after shoer and new suite are put in. need to take grab rails down incase they are needed again, shower rail loo roll holder and cabinet wont be needed again so could go charity shop.
