Shirley that isn't good, get something before bed honey, I was doing the same last week as we were so busy, was getting to 10pm and was thinking 'I'm hungry' then realising I haddn't eaten all day, it's not good for you.

Oh heck just looked at my list, hmmm, might be mission impossible getting through that lot, didn't look while I was posting it, oh well, will have to just try my best!

Good morning Denise sorry you are supposed to be at work... will try not to shout....

Congrats Clarky, try not to worry too much!

OK, I made cheesecake and tried that cinder toffee stuff, think it may be sticky though, think I will borrow [STRIKE]steal[/STRIKE] my Mummy's toffee thermometer. She's a chef ya know :j

Cheesecake looks lovely as always, it is my trade mark cake.

Will post a pic to tempt you all if i remember, juts waiting on the syrup to reduce.

A recipe for the never fails cheesecake would be great tiamai if you get time and don't mind sharing

Hi,
the week starts earlier and earlier...would I be a real spoil sport if I stuck to the original days?
I actually prefer the days as they are, otherwise the kitchen isn't going to be done in over a week( I understand its only by a day or 2) and bed linen....I've also got my children into the routine that friday is when I do their rooms....not to mention the routine I've got into myself..
Am I just being silly??? Can I still be part of the thread?

Frankie.. don't be daft.. stick to last weeks list if you want.. but add this weeks extra missions and deep clean bit.. of course you can stay.. the lists are only an idea we won't string you up if you do something different!! Some days people work so swapping the days I thought would mean they could do different things.. I also am bit of an anarchist.. .. I think changing days around a little also might help people keep interest somewhat!

welcome all the newbies and congrats clarkey

i don't normally like the days being changed round but it suits me this week as i can quickly do the living room as it is ok i think (am away at the moment!).

we went out for drink with OH's ex tonight which was ok. better than i imagined by far. also got the daytime invites done (inserts put in) OH only managed 3 before the glue broke and went everywhere and he lost interest but then his mum helped which was fine. poor OH is not well, nasty cold, i went into the living room and he was fast asleep. he has offered to write and post all the invites and sort and print the letter to go with them so i can't complain

going to see my friends (including godson) tomorrow, looking forward to it. must text and cancel my facial though as i won't be home. feel bad for not letting her know before but have just forgotten! think best thing is for me to stay away for the day and chill.

anyway, it's getting late and i feel like i am chatting to myself!

Hey all, great idea! I think I will join you and hopefully I can get motivated to keep my house spotless. Maybe I can be the next Anthea Turner!:rotfl:

Today I will defiantly do Level 1, and attempt Level 2. For my Extra Mission I shall Vacuum under the furniture. I will have to wait for an hour or two, as it's still early and I'll annoy them upstairs!
