    Choco, I instruct you NOT to join in the housework challenge - you are supposed to be preserving what little energy you have left!! I will be very cross if I see you hoovering!

    Right, I am ready to start I (almost at the end of this cup of coffee) so my list for the day is as follows - this includes all the stuff I need to do today:
    • [strike]load, put on dishwasher, and put stuff away when it is done[/strike]
    • wash, line dry, iron and put away 2 lots of washing - one lot done and on line, next lot in tumble dryer (it is drizzling here) 3rd lot in the washer.
    • iron 2 OH work shirts for the weekend
    • do one hour of shredding
    • [strike]clean kitchen - worktops, floor, table, hob, shiny sink![/strike]
    • [strike]hoover hall and lounge carpets[/strike]
    • dust and polish lounge stuff
    • do a mystery shop
    • collect new skis from shop
    • take DD to guide camp
    • cancel quidco subscriptions
    • chase bank re direct debits they were supposed to cancel
    • [strike]cancel lovefilm - we are not really using it[/strike]
    • change business account - free banking period is up
    Right, that's my list - better get going. Good luck everyone xx

    Getting there slowly, now about to go and do mystery shop and collect skis from the shop, so two more things can go off the list when I get back....

    Hope everyone else is getting somewhere!

    hypno, how do you cancel lovefilm? I need to do that. (They kindly gave us an extra week's free trial because of the postal strike!)

    I've just thrown out a few more things and am about to tackle the guinea-pig.

    I'm mixing work, housework and internet time-wasting in a terrible disorganised muddle. Has anyone else discovered the 'check your traveller IQ' thing on Facebook? It is really addictive.

    Regarding lovefilm have you tried any of the contact details on this page?
