    My list for Tuesday;
    Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1
    Vacuum floors and sofas
    Level 2
    Dusting
    Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
    Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
    Level 3
    Wipe light switches and banister
    Clean any other glass like mirrors etc
    Tidy shoes, coats and bags
    Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, don't want any injuries)
    Extra Mission:
    Pick one or more of the following tasks –
    • Clear one hotspot or spend at least 15 minutes clearing it a bit
    • Give the inside of the front door a wipe (if it's not pouring down you could do the outside too)
    • Wipe the leaves of your plants
    • Sort through any magazines or paperwork lying around
    • Clean windows and sills in these areas
    I think this is all doable as I don't work on Tuesdays. I also need to;
    - sort washing out
    - set dishwasher and unload
    - breadmaker
    - make a lasagne
    - HHP challenge and blow up ball

    Lets see if i'm being over optimistic tomorrow. Oh, I really must send off an important letter tomorrow so i'll just add that at the bottom to remind myself.

    POST LETTER OR YOU ARE IN BIG BIG TROUBLE!!!!!!

    Night everyone xx

    Tia I thought we could do this tomorrow:

    http://www.sissel-online.com/exercise/hip-circles_arms_ball.php

    Mudbath you are welcome to join us. Like you I went to a class and stopped purely because of the cost. We used those tubes too - I didn't like them they hurt my delicate bones. I sit on my OH's large silver ball all the time now, I am quite obsessed by it.

    I'll definitely join you as I have a ball too. I got it when my pelvis went during pregnancy - many years ago! I'll have to find the puff to blow it up though. Not sure I can do that exercise.

    As for your delicate bones....maybe I have more covering than you! :rolleyes:

    What shall I do on the ebay thing (post 186) ?

    Had a great day (amazing considering bubs is either teething or growth-spurting and I put her to bed at 7.45pm last night as normal, and then fed her at 21:20, 23:30, 01:00; 02:45 - saw hubby at this one as he had to leave at 3.30am for Holland for work, 05:00, and 06:45 aarrrghhhhh).

    Dusty - on your DS nearly getting knocked over - glad he's ok. There's a Mum of one of the kids in my sons class and she tears round the place in her car like a loony. Really pi$$es me off. She drives down the culdesac that people park on, and we walk down, there's another little culdesac off it that leads to the path to school and she reverses into it at about 40, its a miracle she hasnt hit anyone. People like that shouldnt be allowed out in cars. Grrr.

    If it was me JillD i'd set up a new account if you can. If your feedback isn't that high you'll soon build it up again even if you just sell a few small items first to get it off zero.

    Jill re ebay I'd start again, I am not sure how much people take note of feedback unless you are selling high value stuff. The thought of being on the phone to them is really not appealing.

    Just a quick post to say thank you for all the kind thoughts for DD, and hugs to everyone. Especially Lilo, cant begin to imagine how you feel.

    Night xx

  • Lilo - I'm so sorry to hear your news. Is there anything we can do to help? xx
  • Oh and I was going to mop the kitchen floor before going to bed. But...its really icy and I thought I'd better chuck some salt on the backdoor step and path for my parents in the morning. Its also very windy and most of it blew back. Argh!! Its a job for tomorrow. Night night xx
