I've just finished bagging up all the cardboard from DS's new toys ready to take to the tip. Still can't really see the living room floor as DS wants to play with all his new toys at once - so seeing as it's his bday I'll let him just this once. He's been to school again this morning for 1.5 hours so I've been in school too but tomorrow he's there until 12 so I'm hoping to come home and get some flying done while he's there. He wants to go to MacDonalds with his sister tonight so we'll go straight from school as DD has got her swimming lesson tonight.

I have done WM x 3 and I think that's probably about it!

However, I have played football with DS's new ball, helped him do some plasticine pictures, helped him with some jigsaws - all of which he's had for his birthday.

I must take the cardboard to the tip though but I think I'll probably do that tomorrow in case he has any more stuff later.

Right off to make DS a sandwich and do some dishes

the contents of my baskets are on the finished hampers thread in christmas and special occasion. The are for Christmas, I had to do it, was in boots the other day and there was stuff for 50p!!! I went mad. then in asda there was radox stuff for £1.00, again, I went mad. Had like a massive shopagasm!

DS2 (Monster) is at nursery, I have till 2.30pm to get lunch, and try to get as much painting done as I can, Pigpen lets have a paint party!

Lunch is the rest of sweet potato curry i made on... Sunday with a baked tattie. Yum.

Can't remember what my list was, I will call it a success if I get some painting done.

Paint party sounds fab.. I'll go get my brush!! I need to see if I can lug the steps upstairs as well.. not sure if I can lift them at the moment!!.. and then not sure if I can get up the stairs on just legs.. I've been using hands as well and going up on all fours for the last few days due to my knees.

My first time doing the challenge this time so here are my updates:

Kitchen - floor not done but not bad so decided to leave it in favour of clearing and wiping worktops, which had started to gather clutter (& dust!) Cleared windowledge and wiped down. Sink clear and shining. OMG! What a difference these few small steps have already made.

I also did about 40 mins of ironing, which has made my mornings less stressed, as there are actually clothes to wear hanging in my wardrobe, not languishing in the washing basket.

I have found and photographed 7 items for ebay but I haven't turbolisted them yet.

My lounge is tidy and just needs vaccuuming and a light dusting, which I will do tonight before the second part of Silent Witness.

Still on target and looking good!

Please read the instructions carefully (YOU CANNOT USE IT ON ALLUMINIUM) on my AGA this is what the door are made of. I used it on the silver bit round the inside of the oven (steel) and on the enamel bit there as well. I have not used it on the lids - not sure yet if they are allie or not but think they may be

Afternoon all, just finished my lunch. Done most of my dalies and my bits in town. Just putting the kettle on and another wash on the line whilst the sun is shinning then to the list and the hoover. I am aiming for one concentrated hour as this is how long I want flying to take each day where possible.

This may sound thick but on Sunday night I downloaded turbolister - got some items to list now and can't find it?? How do I get into it? - through ebay?

Also have I missed something about shiny sinks? Is there something I should be doing - I am jealous?

Having my sandwich and then getting stuck into the flying! xx
