  • ionafan - how did you get on :]] I managed to clear the coffee table [not as simple as it sounds] lots of trips to the bin, kitchen and other rooms to clear away stuff [all other rooms now look even worse] dusted and started to check off my Avon delivery

    How did you get on helen jelly?

    The laminator decided to be awkward so I ended up wasting time and having to reprint a number of pictures on card. Memo to self - don't try to laminate A5 in future - the corners curl up!

    In my HHC I finished hoovering, dusted the living room and straightened the cushions, and S&S'd kitchen. Must now put everything back in the downstairs cloakroom, then that's everything done for today, flying-wise, apart from quickly tidying my desk.

    Will put casserole in the slow cooker for tea, have an early lunch and then be off to the post office and town. It's still raining :(

  • Wow - what a great thread! Just thought I'd pop on to say hi. I really need something to stop my inefficiency and this may be it. Can't promise to post much this week, but will try the Level 1 challenge later - am sitting in the office killing time at the mo! :)
