  • Thank you DustyKitten for the new lists.

    Hoping to do much better this week as failed dismally last week due to secondary school visits and preparing for DD1s 11th birthday party. Did clear my ironing basket today (yes, even the shorts that were lurking in the bottom) but spectacularly failed with most other things (apart from the downstairs loo which got a good going over).

    At least by checking in and looking at the lists it reminds me that I need to get the house in order and does motivate me to do something.

    Happy flying everyone
