    I need to get back into it this week, I'm feeling totally out of control and its showing in the state of the house and my weight :(. Might be able to only manage level 1 but I will give it a try.x

  • Thanks for the list - very pleased with myself to actually see the list before Tuesday this week :D

    Went to TOWIE town yesterday with DS, DD3, DD4 and picked EX MiL to put some flowers down and do HHGardening on both of the Grandad's "Secret Garden" as DS calls it (It's my Mum & Dad Wedding Anniversary tomorrow, so I wanted it to look nice in case my Mum decided she wants to visit.)

    Got another layer of gloss on the door in DR yesterday too :j:j:j

    Today,
    DD2 has put her floordrobe through the wash
    DD3 has done the same AND hoovered her room
    I have rubbed through a bucket of DD4 washable nappies, and put 3 loads of DS, DD4 and my clothes through the wash
    Visit to Mr T and BeeandQueue -got some nice whoopsies for the freezer, more gloss for final shiny coat in DR then can have a good clean up in there before melting the plastic for some laminate - sorry Martin not very :money:

    flip-flopped DD4 clothes bundle into her drawers (FINALLY taken it all out of the cardboard box that I have been dipping into for ages :eek:)

    Have baby group tomorrow to see HV and get DD4 weighed - as she is 3 months today and getting a very chunky monkey and very long with it. she won't be in 3 -6 mth stuff for very long at this rate :eek:

    Hugs sticks and spoons for all - help yourselves :)

    TTFN :wave:
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    I'm really struggling to settle and concentrate on anything for long at the moment :o and I have soooo much to do! I just want to sleep most of the time :o

    I'm going to try and make sure I do at least a HH flying and HH school stuff each day this week and a 60 in 60 to help with the decluttering. This should be doable and may help to chase away the BD ...............

    I'll help you chase away your BD - I think your best flying time is 7 - 7.30?? I'll prod you into action if you can prod me too :D xx ((HUGS))

    Thanks, Dusty. Your list looks very much like mine :D so I shall try to follow it tomorrow between making phonecalls and packing DH off to a horse piddle appointment and then work.

    I spent an hour in the garden this afternoon and have dug up a large bucketful of buttercups before they take over the world :eek:

    Hmmmm. Things on that list that I know need doing, so I'm in this week. I've also got someone arriving tomorrow so the shower room needs a thorough going over and the large bedroom will have to be tackled as well.

    Front and back doors .... That's where I came in last year. That must be progress if I'm back where I started.

    I cracked out the sewing machine today and discovered that muslin is a bu**er to sew and that particular project is going nowhere. However, the carrier bag holder has been repaired (four years on the mending pile) and my mother's oven glove is back in service after .... I don't know how long. She's been dead six years and she spent four years in a nursing home and it was quite frazzled for a long time before that so it's been a while. It's good to have it back.

    The mog flap requires attention. Thanks Natty for last week and Dusty for this week. I'll do as much as I can.
    Better is good enough.

    Hi all, old/young and new. Have just whisked through last few days of thread, having been staying at my brother's for a couple of days.
    Weather too nice here for much indoor flying, plus I didn't have too good a night for some reason, so spent much of today gardening or kindling from the conservatory when the sun was in/wind was up. Did manage to go to supermarket on the way home from brother's last night, and did one load of washing today. Plus cooked a nice roast, then caught up on a few surveys so don't feel too bad although if I open my eyes I can see lots of dust 'n' stuff.

    Face now devoid of steri-strips, plasters, bruises and swelling so just a bit red and scabbed now. Can go back to the gym this week yipee.

    I'd made a nice list on about Wed last week, but it's buried under paperwork on desk so I'll have to have a rummage tomorrow. Night night.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Good evening, Thanks for the new list please count me in for this week.

    I lost most of last week somewhere but managed to get a few things done over the weekend so hopefully I can keep up this week. I am not sure how much I will get done on Monday, as I've got a few client appointments booked in.

    To a certain extent I will be working from my own list this week but will try to keep up with the daily lists as well.
