    Have you tried Flylady? You'll either love it or hate it, but I still use little tips i learnt from her, even though I stopped the emails about 10 years ago!

    It's American and very much so, but worth a look.

    ooh sooo need to fly lady, I'm a right lazybum! and I hate cleaning.

    Today is another NSD, I can't believe how many I'm racking up! 5 already!!! I'm about to make a roast and a tomato slice with olives thing, so the OH has something yummy to take to uni tomorrow. I've decided to start comping like a champion and am currently in the process of recording all the comps I want to do and finally sussed out how to work out which ones are the new ones on the daily/monthly thread :D

    oh, Jakes-Mum (when she's about) the competitions you do are they on the daily competitions? or do you have some other way of doing them too? You seem to win loads!

    Im an end date comper :D, I change it so it lists by end date and enter all of tomorrows comps today. Had my first win last week (actually might be second as I cant remember when the box of cleanser products turned up :think:) a £100 American Express Gift Card :j:j (im assuming that will be a prepaid credit card, but I dont care, £100 is £100 :D)

    I actually rarely touch the daily comps as 1) I find them sooooooooo tedious and 2) with some people really sitting and entering everyday I think the chances of winning are less than the normal ones as I never have the time/inclination to enter everyday IYSWIM.

    The only ones I do like entering on the dailies is the instant wins (last years Argos one was brill as you could keep refreshing the page until you won :j 4 man tent for me looool)

    Ah ok, I get confused by how to do it by the end date, I might have another look to see if I can work it out. I did wonder about the dailies as soooo many people must enter them! ooh and congrats on all the prizes :D
