I'll catch up on the thread later but I couldn't let you lot do housework with me sitting on my bum

So I decided to do my room today, it only took 20 mins and I don't know why I didn't do it earlier, I guess you forget how little time it takes and I agree with you that doing one room at a time is better.

I used to do the whole house on a saturday and I was knackered by the end of the day and that was my weekend nearly over but if I do one room each day then by the weekend I should have it free to relax.

I will catch up later to read from my first posts to see how well you all did. I don't know why I didn't come in here ages ago, now I have to see if I can get the courage to go into the weight watchers thread

oops sexymouse

veg & bean chilli is cooking, going to tackle the kitchen whilst it does and then tidy round everywhere else so i can clean tomorrow. can't be bothered to do both tonight. then i think I'll put my pjs on and chill for the evening, it's rare i get an evening in!

my internet to my desktop is v slow today, keeps timing out whilst loading pages etc. hope it's not the new firefox update. think i will close everything and run an online virus scan just to be sure. typical - just when OH and I had decided to give his PC away to his bro and use mine - we decided 2 desktops and a laptop was perhaps a little greedy!

DD has done her bedroom!!:eek: (And the rest of this post has nothing to do with flying!)

I was sent this today: http://www.giftforthegirls.com/

made me smile, despite the cold!! DD quite liked it too....more her generation than mine!

DS1 better this evening, after spending the whole afternoon asleep.

sexymouse - I'm pretty sure that it's down to stress, but it's hard to control it! I may very well see the GP if it continues. Seems like such a trivial thing to complain about, but having a week of illness every two or three weeks is seriously interfering with my To Do List!

Anyone up for a tidying during the adverts challenge? Been working and doing very little else today so i'm going to kick myself into action in every commercial break. One room per break...what an exciting life I lead xx

Lol, i'll let you off. I managed to clear the living room of clutter during the last break. I should just keep tidying because I don't even like this celebrity thing. I've only got it on so I know when the breaks are....how illogical is that. Think i'll turn over to bbc2 xx
