    Hi, do you mind if I come back and join you again please? We have builders in doing a front porch and side bay window; the house is in turmoil, I'm working 2 jobs (thankfully both at home), the kids and husband are clutter hoarders and, in short, I'm struggling! I'll try to do Levels 1 and 2 but will see how it goes ......

    Hi all

    I'll do what I can mangae this week; I've had to resort to the horrid wrist splints, so everything is d-e-a-d s-l-o-w and very clumsy. In the same vein, please excuse any typos, not easy to type like this.:(

    I have a couple of drawers in the end room that could use a tidy (they've just got a but jumbled due to stuff being taken out, used, and replaced in a hurry) but it really will depend how my paws are; I need to take them out completely (the drawers, not my paws),:D take everything out, and re-pack them. The writing desk bit over the top could use a tidy, too, really.:cool:

    Honey Bear I hope the doggy is having a decent day today – been there, it's much how Penny-dog was, although I don't think I had quite as much carpet-scrubbing as you.:o I'm glad to see she took her meds.:T

    Froddy (((HUG))) so sorry to hear of Auntie's passing; may she have a peace ful journey to the Summerlands.

    Bossymoo fwiw, we often get our surname mispronounced. I didn't think it was a particularly difficult one, either!

    Hoppy Birdday to Vanilla's DD.:beer: <---- HM lemonade for 12 year old
    Craftyscholar and MUMof2 WB folks.:beer:
    We actually get to do an item right of the list today:D – one of Mr LW's nephews has a birthday next week (my PDA alerts me a week in advance to birthdays);) so I've put the pre-selected card out on his desk for him to do when he gets in. Every so often, we sit down with our stash of cards and select for the next few birthdays, and put a post-it with the recipient's name on; saves scratting about for a card at the last moment.;)

    Must go - Dylan's taxi will be here shortly, so I need to pack his belongings.:(
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • Dog walk done, old food emptied from fridge to food bin, washing up done, DW on (with WM drawer in it :D), surfaces and hob wiped down. Just had a cuppa & given Miss T a snack.

    I am going to sort out the stack of post that seems to accumulate in hall now, then do some lunch. I am picking DD2 up from school at lunch (1.15) and I will stop by the PO on the way back to post my parcels.
  • Hi everybody,

    Would love to join in if that is ok with everybody. Need to get house sorted I work for the British Legion and this has been the busiest couple of weeks out of the year, slept until 11 this morning with pure exhaustion which isn't like me my house has suffered so need to get back on track.

    I had to start on my bedroom this morning as my daughter snuck into bed with us last night and her nappy had burst so had to strip and hoover my bed and the room.

    Going to sort out wee bathroom upstairs then start on the list and start on a list of extras for the week.

    Thanks Cathy.

    DW on (with WM drawer in it :D),

    Tres impressed Goodintentions - multitasking at it's finest that is!

    Having a great morning here, a bit off list, well actually a lot off list ;) but I am in the kitchen if that counts.

    It's perishing in this room, so I've plugged in the heater to keep me in here!!!!!

    I've had 2 hours Admin so far, but so worth it. Whilst on the phone to Tax Credit office to sort out an overpayment :( I tackled my tupperware drawer and rehomed it to a better draw - goodness knows what the lady on the other end of the phone must have thought I was doing :rotfl:

    I've renewed library books over the phone. Taken car into the garage in town for a paint job (thanks OH - grrrrrr!), deposited small change to the bank to transfer to my Next Account; dropped off brand new football boots to a friend for £15 - DS only wore them once and his feet grew overnight, I'm sure. So although they cost me £35, I'm glad to get something back.

    I'm now listening to the radio, putting CD's onto the pooter before I declutter to MusicMagpie, WM on, TD on, BM on, soup defrosting for lunch and will start flying again at 1pm - Anyone want to join me?

    Have a good day everyone

    I'm so glad tupperware came around - it's been a Frog for far too long. Can I also make a change to the Frog as I really like frogs (the real ones) and I cannot get my head around "squashing a frog", so if you don't mind, from now on I will be "rehoming a frog". Sorry, just had to get that off my chest :o
