    Hi El, I am afraid I have done a whole half an hour's housework. I too am a little worried that it may continue!

    At the worst point, I had my laptop on the kitchen worktop to keep refreshing MSE after every squeeze of the sponge:eek:


    Actually, on a serious note...........

    no, only kidding - not doing serious today:tongue:

    Just off to make a cake. Nigella eat your heart out!

    I get just over £9 an hour which is not too bad for something that really doesn't involve any real "work"!

    Better than nothing, in an otherwise lean month so hurrah for exam season!!

    Hi Hypno..so glad you're feeling a little better and so glad you got a cheque to pay in the bank.
    Doing housework..are you well..lol
    Only joking ..there's no harm in treating yourself to nice shampoo and conditioner and it's great that we know appreciate the little things in life now.Glad everything is looking up for you as well.

    Well the housework didn't last long - probably an hour in total, so not much to show for it as my house needs an army and a week (and probably one of LindsayJane's explosives) to make an improvement!!

    However, as flylady says - baby steps.

    Mine are more like amoeba steps, but hey, it's a start!

    (hair feels good though:D )

    Good evening hypno :)
    Sounds like you've had a very productive day! I love it when you treat yourself - and luxury shampoos and conditioners are high on my list! It just makes you feel so much better about yourself (or it does for me!) if your hair looks good :) Glad the invigilating is going well too, you're doing great! :j
