The bits I wanted to say:

Thank you Natty for this week's list, Dusty for last week's, Bossy for The Challenge and xx Jo xx for stars - not that I'll be troubling you much .

Pigpen, they do you proud. Thank you so much for posting. Lovely.

:wave: to all dog owners and lovers who supported and encouraged me to take on Mrs Dog. She's an absolute joy.

Thanks for list, I'm in. Week 2 of new work; hope to make more progress though not dissatisfied with week 1. Had meeting with staff i.e. myself on Friday, tablet minuted it as planned. Now have action plans, one of which is writing more lists.........but house not too bad at present, so serious dedication could make me proud by Friday. Here's hoping.

Thank you for the lists, i am in this week.

Honey Bear i only use butter too, my mother always says anything natural can't be bad for you. Although i would not take a block out with me as a snack.

i have done dishes, mopped floors and hoovered. Cleaned table and chairs.

has anyone been watching what remains on bbc1? It has just been the last part and my heart was in my mouth and i had tears in my eyes, i have not seen such a good tv drama from the bbc.

Evening all, I'm going to try to be in again this week, but working awkward times, so will just do what I can.

Did nothing after getting home from work today, apart from taking the dog out for a run and eating stew.
I've not even done the dishes there isn't many and I'll do them in the morning, but I feel them calling to me!
I've tracked grass into the house and up the stairs too, so will need to vacuum everywhere tomorrow as well :undecided

I just open each post I want to quote in a separate window, then cut & paste it into my reply

Thank you for the lists, I'm in again this week. Pigpen, you have such a gorgeous, photogenic family You must be very proud of them all. As an aside, do we think cheap plasticky bath curtains can go in the washing machine on a cold wash? Mine is looking decidedly grubby.

We've also set one of the dehumidifiers up early this afternoon (bought 2 as the house is VERY damp) and have almost 10 litres in there already :eek: It's no wonder that we've been having trouble with mould and mildew.

Thanks for the new list Natty. I'm in from Tuesday' but I might show my hand tomorrow if my head doesn't hurt too much.

Work tomorrow early for an hour then a trip down the motorway to meet my good friend who is godmother to DD1 and DD2.

Suit to collect for DS2 from another good friend who is godmother to DS2. I have known these ladies for 35 and 19 years respectively.

To bed now with a large glass if water to avert the probable hangover.
