    Lots of the explanation is in the first post of the thread; a new thread is started every Sunday evening, with a link from the old thread (this thread)

    The levels basically depend on the time you have available - so if you only have 15 minutes you might just do level 1.

    Usually, we find that after a few weeks we are faster anyway and get more done.

    Welcome shadowmoon :) don't try to catch up on previous lists, as Valli suggests, just do level one each day this coming week. The following week you will find the level 1s take a bit less tiMe, and some days you might fit in level 2 as well, depending on what else you have on in your day. Remember, the mess didn't arrive in one day, nor will it be sorted in one, but just a little attention each day and you will see progress I'm sure. Other than that, pop in to say hi and ask for a nudge if you need one ;) xx

    Aww honeybear what a lovely gesture! We're already booked but hope you get visitors soon xx

    We didn't get home till 5 so I set the dinner going then we popped outside to cut the grass. Brown bin day tomorrow so chucked the clippings in and wheeled it round to the front. Furries have been given a clean 'bedroom' aka a fresh puppy pad with a good layer of hay over lol. I've just emptied the bin and set the DW going with all the crockery etc.

    Now sat in the conservatory with a lemonade and thinking what to do next...

    He's apologised ;) and he even knew what for; "because I leave my snack things in places I shouldn't and I was rude to you"

    Still no screen time tomorrow <insert maniacal laugh emoji>

    That's me done for the night, DW is on, I'm getting stuck into my book :p
    Bossy I think you're totally right to still say no screen time. Otherwise he'll never learn that "actions have consequences" and you can't just keep being naughty and think that apologising makes it like it never happened.

    In a similar vein, doggies have to earn their good behaviour rewards; Mr LW would use treats as a bribe, but I'm more in the vein of "no, she gets a treat after she's been a Good Girl" style of thing. :o

    Cream crackered today; after Cookie went home yesterday we went over to the park to the local event the Parish Co8uncil had organised as its MK's 50th anniversary this year; I used the mobility buggy, but driving it over the grass in the park has pretty much banjaxed my back; and my tailbone hurts like bu88ery.

    I hope I can get some rest tonight and be fit to try and tackle HB's listy tomorrow. ;) I have to visit the optician in the morning, too *gulp* which I could do without - but at least I have a voucher for a free eye test. :money: And if they try and push me to have new specs, I shall say "I'll take it under advisement, but I'm broke at the moment so I'll come back when I've got some money". ;) My specs are fine; but I have to have my eyes checked every twelve months because I'm taking Plaquenil.
