    Maybe Fairy, you need to write each task on a small post-it note, stick them all on the fridge (or door or wherever) all higgledy-piggeldy (not in a neat, organised layout) and as you do each one, throw away the post-it then you'll see the "list" decreasing. Would cost you a small fortune in post-it notes though ;)

    Oh i like that idea :) and i have hundreds of packs of post it notes too LOL! :D i might try that tomorrow :D

    Ok so the white wash, ironing and kitchen packing got done this morning before work but at least I got them done :)

    The Wii man and I had a teensy falling out this morning - he said I'd lost 2lbs but only took 1lb off my chart!!!! I'm just claiming 1lb as I haven't done any exercise since Sunday but still impressed with it.

    Tonihgt's jobs are generally to finish packing and clean house. I have crazily agreed to a friend and her toddler son stopping over the Sun we get back (but so looking forward to seeing them) and we're out at a 25th anniversary party on the Sat we get back (2 good friends I would never refuse) so I need to have the house fairly spoless for the guests...only the guest room looks like a bomb has exploded in it, hee hee!
