I'm in this week. Keep popping in and out but as I've not had my iron supplement for a few weeks and AF has paid a visit I'm left feeling somewhat lethargic and the house is getting messy! But, I've bought more iron and I'm determined to get it back on track. I will force myself to get going on the bathroom straight after work and the afternoon school run.

Thanks for the list Natty. See you all tomorrow.

Thanks to Natty for this week's list and Dusty for last week's.

I'm in again this week, but working from my own lists -and for 2 days from my DDiL2's list. Her op on Saturday went well, she was home the same afternoon and is doing OK. I'm going to stay overnight and help look after DGS3 and do anything else that needs doing. Fortunately they only moved in August and have a small, clean, tidy house!

My list for tomorrow:

- ring carpet fitter: the old carpet wouldn't fit in the downstairs bedroom because we had turned the door to open outwards, so needed another 4" :mad: but we have found an inexpensive alternative today
- arrange collection of armchair
- take down cot (DGD2 is better now )
- put 8 storage boxes of summer clothes and craft materials into the loft temporarily, while we do the upstairs work
- send off warranty for new fire
- check bank accounts
- send birthday card to friend
- appointment at 2 pm: remember to take boxes
- buy florist's ribbon
- write notes for talk
- empty shoe boxes
- dismantle old built-in headboard and bedside cabinets

DH is painting the spare bed tomorrow!

Goodnight all :wave: Hope everyone has a good week.

Hello all. Thanks for the list Natty.

I was dreadful last week.

And it shows in the house. :eek:

Am in with a vengeance this week. Don't have study/pc area so will do the utility room.

Any recommendations for a curtain to cover a front door. We also have a glass panel next to the door that needs covering as well. Thanks.

I am in bed. Himself is away so I have the bed to myself!

Have a good week everyone x
