    OH is home safe and sound :rolleyes: For the past hour+ I have heard nothing but "flying this" "flying that" etc etc First he told me, then his sisters (told both so that was twice!), then his mother :wall:

    Just to annoy me even more I put the ironing on the toy box to move it out the way while I wrapped ebay parcels and didn't move it back onto the table...so what does OH go and do when he gets in? He decides to make himself some tea, put the carton of milk & 2 LOOSE eggs on the serving hatch shelf-bottom thing with the tub of spread, goes in the kitchen and picks the spread up allowing the eggs to roll off the shelf, cue Nicki shouting "OH Eggs!", he goes to grab the eggs and manages to grab one but in the process knocks the other one into the livingroom and the carton of milk over the CLEAN AND DRY IRONING PILE and the egg smashed all over the floor :mad::silenced: So even though I spent £2.50 in the laundrette getting everything dried after a day of washing I have another washing load to do :wall:

    I'm quiting for tonight. I give in :rolleyes: I'll start over tomorrow with the cleaning as I've done the majority of the tidying :D Night Night all :wave: xx

    Hi

    I have been a lurker here and have found I have been more motivated in doing my (much needed) housework :)

    I just wondered though, where are the lists posted for each day - I end up searching through this thread for the list, but I am sure that its somewhere else ? Is it ?

    Its taking me ages to hunt it down atm !

    Thanks xx

    Just having a quick catch up from parents, everyones been busy - in 1 way or another! :D

    Hi Frugal
    I'm new this week too, although like you I have been a lurker.
    If you go to the first post of the thread, Lil Me adds the tasks for the next day onto this post each evening.
    Happy flying!
