    Morning All

    Just watching TV while I do some cutting out of stuff. WM is on and when that's finished I'll strip my bed. Dry here at the moment so if it stays dry I might do some weeding later otherwise I'll carry on in the house.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning everyone!
    I have a daft question!
    Is there a general list to follow. I did the one put up for Monday but everyone seems to have a slightly different one for Tuesday. Do I just 'borrow' someone else's or is there somewhere I will find the general list. It seems to b living rooms and stairs, which is perfect for me as they need doing but it would be good to have some specifics!

    Frizzle - if you look at the first post it tells you the list for today, it's added to each evening for the following day.
