Hope everyone is having a good day. I feel the need for cake and worse still shop bought cake:eek: its TOMs fault i think, oh just remembered I have some of Black Saturns malt loaf left, will have some with a coffee and see if that does the trick. Bit of a lazy day today nothing major to do. I do want to sort through my dump it draw in the kitchen. Got loads of paperwork for the girls at the mo due to starting school and nursery info. Will make a folder up so I can get it out of the way.

Watched Anthea last night - :eek: at poor steph, felt really sorry for her bless, 3 kids under 5 and living in a 2 bed flat with no storage. Compared to the other woman who had a lovely new big house, money no object by the look of it but just poorly organized. So glad Steph won it. I think she had the bigger challenge and everything stacked against her. Was nice to see a "lower" wage level on there, DH and I were commenting last week that it always seems to be people with big houses that appear to be loaded. Am hoping they do a series where they do a revisit. Do have to say I swear Anthea reads the OS board (if not indeed out thread), and who could blame her:D

Right cake and coffee

Right I am just going to jump in and go for it! I think it'll be quite hard to get into the habit of checking the first post each day (thanks for the tip AnW'sMum ).
Going to try and do Level 1 and 2 each day ifpossible, and maybe one extra off the extras list.
and now I will stop reading and spend 15 minutes actually doing stuff. Will report back in 15...

JillD if you find the checking daily hard, some I have advised to work from the previous weeks list, they copy and paste the post into word and either print it or use it on the PC, can be much better for those without daily internet access.

Well not even made a start, going to get the turtles today hopefully, went yesterday but shop was shut, doh!

Hiya pigpen
Will they let you pay by direct debit over the year? I'm hoping to do another evening course in September, if I can get on it as the course details are out late this year, but they let you pay over 10 months which makes it a bit more manageable. Good luck xx

This was an easy one today as i had done most of it last night. I am now about to embark on one of our junk rooms :eek: think i may have to take a before and after photo to send to my mother as she has never seen certain rooms of our house tidy (the ones we can close the doors on that nobody ever goes into)

List of things to do in junk room one:
sort out washing basket (pile/mountain)
clear out bikes
throw away junk
sweep and mop floors
hang sons dart board he bought on Saturday and hasn't been allowed to play with until i sort this room out.
Replace lightbulb that has been dead for 4 months.
