Morning all.

So sorry to hear your news, Valli. (((Hugs))) and much love to you and your family.

Thank you for the new list, Natty. I have a couple of things to do at my desk whilst drinking my cup of tea, then I shall be flying at top speed to get the house in a fit state to welcome my s-i-l and b-i-l who are driving up from London for lunch. First time we've seen them for over a year.

DH is behaving himself and resting, but frankly I din't think he'd manage much more than that atm if he tried. He still gets out of breath very quickly.

Dancemum, please get that pain in your chest dealt with pronto.

Happy Moving Day, Dizzy.

(((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round as needed x

Morning all,

Sorry, I've been awol due to crazy busyness. I've just caught up on the thread.
Valli I'm so sorry to hear your news, my thoughts are with you and your family, lots of hugs xxx

Today's list is worrying me slightly with phrases like "wrap presents" and "finalise last minute presents".

I have absolutely not done anything about Christmas. Help!

Morning all. Thanks for the list Natty. I will be in as much as I can this week. Today I have washed the breakfast dishes and dusted the dusty bits in the LR. Need to start the paid stuff now.

Hugs to Valli and I hope that all the poorlies are feeling better soon.

So sorry Valli we are here for you, when you are ready for us, please do be kind to yourself xxx

Thanks nattymfor the lists, I really need to be in this week - kiddies are hankering after Christmas decs and I really need to clean first. So today is all about the downstairs however my first job is to restock the fridge!!! I've been away all weekend so have laundry to do and general catching up.

Must go to Mr A first or it will be on my mind until I do. Then, clean, clean clean!

Hugs all round. Hope the move goes well dizzy xxx

That sounds as though you need to get it checked out Dancemum. I hope Mr Ionafan's recovery progresses smoothly and your lunch goes well Ionafan, and that the move to the new caravan goes smoothly Dizzy. Just do a little every day Redshank and Lovecrafting, enough so that you can feel virtuous but not so much that you don't want to come back tomorrow.

Having frog-chomped over the last week and weekend I'm now listing all of the things that didn't get done so I've got a bit catching up to do. I think I'll do Level 1 this week just to make sure the place doesn't descend back into a tip in the meantime.

DW, WM and TD all doing their thing. Black bin filled up ready to go out tonight, and surfaces wiped. That's just the tip of the iceberg for what needs to be done have fab days all xx
