    Thanks Natty,
    I am in again this week, just put DS's uniform out ready for the morning, made the lunches and managed the ironing fairly quickly as only really 3 of DH's shirts (short week :beer:). DD's uni friends have all gone home now. DD is a chip off the old block and got them all to bring sleeping bags so the only washing they created was 3 pillowcases.

    Thanks Natty, I'm in. Welcome all new flymates! If you get stuck, just pick a corner, put the kitchen timer on for 15min and go at it, it's amazing what you'll get done. Preferably with some loud music :D. Then do it again. It's addictive...

    I will do a hhc at lunchtime depending on how busy the home office aka my dining room is...

    See you tomorrow!

    Thanks Natty for the thread :D

    I'm going to try and be in this week. I have to do paid stuff Monday, and briefly on Thursday, plus I need to fit in a grocery shop as I haven't been for groceries since Xmas Eve :D Forgot I needed to do DD a packed lunch for tomorrow so I'm going to treat her to a meal deal while I pick some bits up first thing, then Tuesday I'll go shopping as I need to sort out a menu plan if I'm ever going to loose this blooming weight :o

    Going to go tidy up and wash some dishes after I've written this down :D

    Thanks for the new list,Natty, and thanks for last week's, Dusty.

    Froddy, I hope you are going to train those furry friends of yours to change their own beds! No.3 definitely has to be "Limahl" - never having heard of him, I had to look him up and found this:

    :D

    I managed most of last week's lists between the coughing fits and will be flying properly again this week (feeling considerably better though still not 100%). DH and I have taken down the decorations this evening and the downstairs rooms look quite bare, so all the dust will be all the more obvious :rotfl:

    I need to get on with WFH tomorrow, but the kitchen and breakfast room will be done first. DR hasn't been used all holiday and is now a repository for the boxes of decs until I carry them upstairs a few at a time.

    Have a good week, everyone. (((Hugs))) and spoons to all who need them.
  • Thanks Natty x

    I'm in.

    Well done EW - a painful process, but you will get through it - (((hugs))) if you need them.

    So from tomorrow we're continuing with a family HH tidying after our evening meal.

    Love this idea so that we can then sit down amongst calm for the evening rather than chaos. Just mentioned it to OH and he's in agreement. Looks like we could be onto a winner as of tomorrow night.

    Like your style dorajar - train them whilst they're young!
