Thanks Ash - maybe that should be the starting point. Max 1 hour a night from the list (in post #1, yes?).

Mind if I chip on here occasionally for moral support and advice?

Hi Lurkio - I'm sure everyone will be happy for you to post on here! I love the banter that goes on and all of the support through lifes ups and downs is great!! Yes, the flying list is on Post #1. It is updated every night with the next days list and whilst the main cleaning stays the same, other bits are changed weekly. If you are curious as to what the normal week entails, have a look at the first post on last week and compare to the list so far, this week. (Don't get too confused though as pigpen changed the days round last week just to [STRIKE]confuse us[/STRIKE] keep us on our toes....!) I find just doing 1 load of washing a night has helped so much - as opposed to doing it all at the weekend!! Let us know how you get on.

AnW's Mum - what a pain re: your DW... If you need a new one, try the Comet Clearance website - it is FAB! PM me if you want further info.

Think my period has come back. Maybe all the teariness etc over the weekend was just PMT ?

What a shocker so not ready for that. And if you all remember I had terrible cramps a couple of weeks ago so maybe its all just hormone related

Pigpen I buy vhs from charity shops for DD as she has one in her room they are much better for her and she destroys CD's

Do you want some of mine?? lol.. I'm loathe to put them on freecycle because I KNOW they are just car booted.. I'd rather take them to charity shop.. I have muppets.. and the addams family.. and labyrinth (swoon* men in tights.. AHEM.. I don't even care if it IS David Bowie lol... I ain't picky!) bob the builder.. just loads..

Lucky you Jill.. mine were 9-14 months before mine returned.. and the earlier ones (ie less than a year) was because they'd stopped feeding. #number 4 on the cards then.. pmsl..

Lurkio.. stop making so much mess!!! There is no excuse just 2 of you.. tut tut.. you are more than welcome to join us.. but I'd only do an hour a night and give the worst room a good going over at the weekend.. and that'd be it!!

I have rejiggled the rooms this week.. and last week.. I get bored doing the same rooms on the same day every week and knowing what is coming.. and lose motivation so much quicker.. by Friday I am flagging anyway.. but at least with a room change about I get all the rooms done over a 2 week period.. Monday and Tuesday I am full of beans.. Wednesday I'm a bit fed up so do less.. thursday I try to get round by doing extra rooms earlier in the week and Friday I sit on my butt all day!

And what do you mean no nails left.. have you been eating them instead of cleaning.. I have nails over an inch long, painted pretty and twinkly.. and they are still here.. I will admit the harpic doesn't do them much good though!

Well all those crossed fingers helped for now! Reset it and put it on a quick wash which it duly completed. I am not assuming all is ok, but is ok for now!

Mumofjusttwo - big ((((((hugs)))))) perhaps we should have a HHC half hour cry together instead of a half hour challenge. Sounds like your DH is trying to help however he knows best if it is a bit misguided and likely to upset you rather than actually help. Is your MIl going to have the kids ? Could you go shopping or swimming or to a cafe and library, just some quiet time on your own for a couple of hours ? I am terrible at accepting help, I always think "well what use is one afternoon of peace as a one off, I want it every week to make the difference!!!" Hope you are feeling a bit better

ashbart - didint notice you were in Sandhurst, just looked when you said you goto Nirvana. You know when you come past the Moat House roundabout before Nirvana, well we are two streets from there. Really really handy for us
Yes have re-set it up, planning to go first week of March. Need to see if any of my friends want to come as a guest, its not the same without sokmeone to chat to. Didnt enjoy the dead sea float bt might think about the massage. Do they do them in the training float pool thing ?
