Oh yes.. or I put the next hotspot along in its place.. I just keep telling myself the heaps are getting smaller!! (though I think it is just the weight of the stuff on top crushing the bottom things.. or they could actually be composting by now!!)

The hallway floor is my worst.. though I do try to keep on top of that.. and the work surface in the kitchen is perpetually covered with guff.

Half an hour challenge in the kitchen is in order.. I doubt I'll get anything done tomorrow so I'll do it now.. hakf an hour should mean most of it is done.. maybe not the floor though.. I HATE doing the floor

Right.. what shall I bake with 12 mushy banoonies???

Feeling very low tonight, not got half of my list done, so another week of fire-fighting and just about anticipating things. Will try to keep up with level one, so that I don't have so much to do when I regain my freedom on the 20th! Never mind, I think this is normal......isn't it?! I think I will need my relaxation CD to get to sleep tonight, never a good sign. Tomorrow is another day (is that Scarlett O Hara?).

Evening everyone.

I have worked my socks off all day, and now officially can't do any more tonight. Like lbnb i think it will be fire fighting mainly this week. I have a half teacher training day to look forward to on Tuesday, and a DS who has a really upset tummy still so i am hoping it clears up by itself overnight as i really cannot afford in any sense of the word not to be at work tomorrow, and you can guarantee DH won't be able to either with how hard he has been working. Oh, and for pure entertainment - johny Ball is giving a talk at our school on friday, which i may have to sneak into as i am free. Purely to help out of course. Although i will have to get some more work done first.


I have just clocked off last weeks list, and am going to get this one up and running.

Hell yeah! Kitchen bench is the very worst, followed closely by the shelves in the entry!

Been busy today did some baking, made ginger cake and rice krispie tray bakes but it didn't stick together right but kids and OH still ate it. Have a sale to go to on thursday night and i need to bring something (food wise) so think i better keep trying

all the kiddies went last night to youth club as santa was to come, all had a good time except youngest who has an awful cough (to the point of being sick) so OH took him up the road before santa arrived, he wasn't bothered he missed him so he is bad but DD wasn't going to let santa go without leaving a selection box for him

I's like to join in again this week - hopefully with more success though. I have a hectic week ahead (all the christmas stuff at school) and I'm meant to be making a legolas outfit for my DS1 - I layed out the pattern and cut it out yesterday. Hoping to get at least a few bits together today if I can find a clear horizontal surface to put the sewing maching on (could be a challenge!).
have a good morning,

Right it's a complete level 3 week for me this week as I'm in hospital getting stitches out next week, meaning possible baby arrival!!!! So I want the place as clean as possible when I get home. Obviously this is relying on OH to at least maintain but whether he realises his life will not be worth living if he doesn't is a mystery.

Having a party Friday night so I'm moving my weekly home blessing to Friday. Definitely doing all the zone work this week as my kitchen is my 'devil room'. All laundry needs to be done by Friday, got an interview on Tuesday and party planning all week. Busy week indeed.
