I'm in - did well the first half of the week then it tailed off

lovely-cup-of-tea

Yup, I'm in again this week. I did quite a few bits of Monday's list over the weekend but the hoovering in the living room needs tackling so that'll be tomorrow's big task.

Off to make a hot water bottle and snuggle down for an early night.

I'm in - thanks Natty :A

Spent much of yesterday and today sobbing through various Remembrance services and programmes. Some photos arrived from Italy taken at a service a few years ago in the park named after my Grandfather where they had a wreath laying in his honour. And to think 2 months ago we didn't even know where he'd been killed let alone that there is a memorial to him. I think I'll be visiting Italy very soon................

Thanks Natty and Dusty for respective lists.

Did pretty much my own thing last week and as a result there is now a bit more room to breathe than usual. I had visitors on Saturday, so perhaps that spurred me on!

30 minutes to spare...
Dusting, even if around everything
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Water any thirsty plants, wipe their poor neglected leaves!! - Advice needed, please: Can anyone recommend a plant that flowers around December and doesn't need much looking after? It looks as if I'll be here at Christmas (possibly entertaining) and if things stay the way they are ATM I will be celebrating my Me Challenge success (touches wood)! If so, I'd like to celebrate by having a plant on my sitting room window sill. Nothing too overpowering perfume wise, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful ..... Thanks in advance.
Got an hour...
