    Bossy are you doing stars etc for when we have been doing our challenge? As I have been to the gym/pool twice since I put my challenge up :D Won't be doing it this week as I have so much to do before we go away on Saturday, plus it's AF week and I don't want to go swimming.

    I don't know how to! Help!

    Cat fed and Im decluttering a cup of tea. Not the cat Ionafan
    That made me laugh the image of the cat having a cuppa.

    Living room got the 30 mins list done.

    At work all day today so will look at kitchen list later.
    Will have a quick whizz round before I go.

    The bloomin cat comes to life from 6 in the morning. Only had him a short while but love him to bits. Glad I got another.

    CY and Valli Hugs.
  • So starting off the day with a cup of coffee:coffee: and catching up on yesterday's posts.

    Got all jobs done as planned yesterday so here is today's list.

    S and s bathroom before work.
    Clean out medicine drawer and make a list of any cold remedies we might need.
    Check laundry situation.

    Although I tend to keep my online identity to myself and not give too much away I would like to say woop woop to all my fellow Plymothians this morning :hello:

    Have a good day :)

      Morning all

      All is calm here now. Did have to shout at the bus boys to get a move on.

      Going to hoover and mop upstairs then have my shower. Dry here at the moment so I'll try to wash the towels and cut the back grass before the rain comes in.
