    Hello everyone, big well done from me for all these crossed off lists, I am impressed again! I've been for my holistic therapy session, had a little reflexology then a full massage which was great, especially after I woke up aching from head to toe after gardening.

    Been back about 1 1/2 hours as I had to go shopping before I came home, have managed to get up to level 2, done nearly all the dailies, dinner prepared and in oven, got tutorial tonight but will try and get level 3 done before hand, might, might not. I've still quite a bit to do inc several calls to make, but DSs stay for recorder lessons after school on Wednesdays so I have an extra half an hour to finish level 3 and fit some study time in.

    List will be up about 9.30pm ish tonight if that's ok with everyone, if you want it earlier I can post before I go.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Kiwi try spraying oven with a 50/50 mix of stardrops and water and going away and leaving it for a while. It should then be really easy to clean. we have Catowen to thank for this brilliant tip! It has saved me a ton of elbow grease!:T Thanks Catowen!

    Have you tried ordering them over the phone for delivery to your local branch? We do that for customers quite often, would save you an extra trip ;)

    D'y know, I had no idea that was an option and yes, it would save me a trip. Thanks for that AnW'smum!

    I'm just back from being waxed and it feels more like whacked. Oohyah!
    Stopped off at the RSPCA shop and bought some fantastic curtains I didn't know I needed. Double width, very long and super heavy £5.50. On the line now, having a good blow. Think I'm going to mow (going to mow the meadow..) rather than more shopping. I need reeling in when there's cash in my pocket.
    Not a bad day, Fly-wise, but I hope I haven't peaked too soon. My only regret is that I've run out of washing on this gorgeous day.

    did the school run then went for a coffee and gossip with friends so a late start this morning but once i got back spent 2hrs doing my bed room theres still things that need doing but they can wait till next week or i'd be in there for ever.it was in a bit of a state had to clear the floor as have been stepping over (tripping up)over stuff for weeks and the dust well lets just say it was bad. got rid of a bin bag full of rubbish and a bag full of stuff to recycle.
    just going to have a quick hoover and mop downstairs before picking kids up.

    Just finished all of the cleaning, dailies etc except for the de-clutter challenge, I don't know why, but I have a complete mental block about these! :confused:

    Washing all done, just drying and am now watching x-files (not-so-closet-nerd)! :p

    Managed to get into town, bought my mat/breast pads, bed protector squares etc, but no shower curtain or lamp, it was just too far away and I didn't feel up to it. Will just have to send DH out on the day! :D

    Will finish watching files and try to do the de-clutter task. Don't know why I can't do it, but it beats me every day...to be continued. ;)

    Happy flying.

    Afternoon :hello:

    Well, what can I say, you're all doing brilliantly and I'm sat here having a brew after just waking up *yawn* I was dog tired this morning and the bed finally pulled me in, so I've had a few hours and consequently done nowt :o

    I HAVE just hoovered through though and am currently waiting for the council electrician to go away after 'fixing' and I use that term loosely, a socket that's hanging off. I wish the ground would have opened up and sucked me in though, upstairs is a tip and I mean a TIP, it looks like a bin bag of rubbish has ripped open and been flung about everywhere and it also looks like we've just moved in, there's boxes and piles of clothes and crap everywhere yikes!

    This is the lesson I haven't learnt yet, you never know when someone's gonna turn up so GET IT DONE!! :rolleyes:
