Also meant to say hi to all the newbies, this thread is fab! My [STRIKE]hovel[/STRIKE] house is so much tidier and cleaner than it was:o

Doves farm wholemeal strong is on our Tesco site for 60p too, just had a nosey, others are normal price however. Think I will put an order in after I have done the desk, make myself do that first, use that code DP was sent.

I've just cleaned the living room window and it looks manky, I wonder if it is because of how cold it is?

The desks looking at me.....glaring in fact....I don't wanna do it It is making the conservatory look a mess however so must do it today. I'll probably find more missed appointments in the paperwork piles

Feeling a bit guilty sat in the warm on the laptop while DP is outside vacuuming his car within an inch of it's life.....oh well I'm sure the guilt will pass soon.

Glad nobody here's normal though, normal people give me a rash.

But I AM normal! Honest....I just don't seem to convince people on here!

My only advice would be take it slowly and don't beat yourself up if you don't complete the whole list. Saying that...i've gone from having to do everything to doing very little! I'm trying to get back on track this week.

We dont believe that for a second mudbath;)

Good advice though, you have good weeks and bad weeks. Last week was our halfterm and i did naff all! I am determined this week to level 3 as much as possible, it means next week will be easier too hopefully.

I would like to continue with my list but our puddy cat is sat on my knee in the conservatory looking at the birds. This is very brave of her as she normally only goes upstairs or in the kitchen or living room. She doesn't do outside. She's getting quite whisker twitchy at the birds bless her...I think she knows deep inside she should do something but she's not sure what.

So, i'm going to sit here for half an hour before it's time to pick up. Then I have a spoilt child coming for tea, he's lovely but drives me mad as his mum does everything, and I mean everything for him, even though he is 9! Needless to say I don't so I'll do my list when they're in from school to save me from wanting to strangle him. It's a gorgeous day here and getting quite warm xx

I feel like I am getting there today. Didn't get any of yesterdays list done because had loads of errands to run and downstairs looked like a tip so had to do some of that (although it needs doing again today). I have been doing it in 15 min bursts today and just done 3 sets in a row to get the desk and paperwork sorted. So for a change I am sitting here at a clean, tidy desk without paperwork spilling on to the keyboard as I type!

I am just going to have a cuppa and a snack (for energy of course) and then get on with the bathrooms.
