    Morning everyone, am up nice and early for me today. Although that might have had something to do with both the cats icking up near my bed for some reason. I think they had given up meowing at me so thought they would go for more drastic actions..lol

    Have fed the birds outside, immediately 7 doves appeared to devour the food. Looks like I am going to have to go to the store and buy some more food...lol

    Am trying my hand without the strapping today, I want to see how long I can go without having to resort to bandaging it up again. Although saying that it is hurting even typing..oh well. And now I swear my left foot has come out in sympathy, although I do know I hurt this as well in the fall.

    Welcome back Soappie, good to see you. Are you staying around now? Or are you popping back into lurkdom :D It would be good to see you posting again though :D

    Bossymoo and the little moos, will be thinking of you all on Tuesday. Will have a candle lit for you too and sending positive thoughts your way so the hurt is easier.

    Many thanks for doing the lists Dusty, and for the extra week this week :D I'm looking forward to starting my stint :D If anyone wants to PM me ideas for the lists, as well, then please feel free and I can try and incorporate the ideas into my lists. Oooh Dh mentioned to me last night that as I am doing the lists with Dusty I had better start doing them myself instead of just looking at them.:p.lol I think he has the right idea don't you..lol

    Ok on with todays list :D

    So far I have S&S bathroom, made beds and cleaned the hob.
    Just stopped for coffee then load WM.
    Sorted through DS's drawers and he has had a massive growth spurt and appears to have outgrown everything at once. Will sort into CS bags and maybe some to be weighed in at new clothes recycling place near work?

  • Good afternoon all,

    I am joining in again this week done well last week although never got time to post after Thursday morning I was still following list and even got some of my list done.

    Before I start todays list I need to go into DS1 bedroom he is 16. I have my protective gear on my gloves, gas mask, wellies.
    I am going to ask that if I am not back in an hour could you please phone emergency services as I will be either buried under a ton of rubbish or been knocked out by the smell and tellmy family I love them.

    Don't be fooled into thinking I do everything on the lists I write;):p

    I have done most of the kitchen today though, done 45 minutes paid stuff next door and now feel bushed so not much more today. DS1 lunch done, going to do DS3's now he is out of the bath and then a neighbour is popping in for a cuppa.

    Hi All :wave:

    Thanks for the listy this week Dusty, I still have no motivation, however, I spent 3 hours in the kitchen on Saturday cleaning & tidying, DH & I between us yesterday pm got my bedroom all tidied, shiny n sparkly, change bedcovers, cleaned out ensuite, 5 loads of washing done (more ironing added L) stairs hovered & cleaned, hall hoovered, & mopped, LR hovered & mopped & polished so hopefully I can keep up this week. Every bit of my body is aching today, don’t know if its cos of being on my feet all day yesterday. DH was doing main bathroom for me today.

    Soappie – Good to hear from you.

    I will try & post everyday to keep my motivation going, although it was lovely coming downstairs this morning to a lovely clean LR.
