    Thank you all for your kind thoughts. Thought if I made myself busy I wouldnt think too much about it but I have done zilch - oh ok I sorted out my sox and undies drawers and thats it. I now know that I own at least 37 sets of matching underwear (cos thats whats in the drwer :eek: ) so please do not let me buy any more.

    OH has been an absolute gem today as he's been home and given me loads of big hugs (could he be after something or just being kind!)

    Nosex, does not make me want to do housework, I think I flit between tia and pigpen on that one. Some days cant get enough, others I cant be @rsed. But then of course its illegal at my age :rotfl: .

    Positive vibes for shell for job interview.

    Pigpen how on earth did you find victorian stair clips - thats what I could do with. My stairs are wooden and it sounds like a herd of elephants when the kids go up and down so would love a stair runner but want to keep in with the period of the house, which too is late victorian.

    I really must go and do something now but I have I think what must be stress pains in tummy that or I have overkill on the mugs of tea front.

    catch ya all later

    February 27th, 2008 at 3:53 pm Hi everyone,
    Thank you again for your patience. Emails to the Team Leaders containing team members’ email addresses have gone out this afternoon. Emails to team members with contact details for their team leader will start going out later today. Hopefully they’ll all go out tonight, but don’t panic if you don’t receive yours today, because they’ll all be sent by tomorrow.

    you should be getting email soon. Someone has asked already about the postage costs etc, I think it's a bit unfair if the Team Leader has to pay for posting everything out, wonder what they will do?

    have managed the rest of the lounge and half the stairs, hoover has over heated again, so will have a cuppa and think about starting tea. Just waiting for my TD to finish, then I can make my bed again and hopefully finish hoovering....
    I'm going to look at the list and see if there is anything else I can get done today.

    Just stopping for a cup of tea in between Work work and housework. I feel quite good - looking at the list I think I can stop flying now :D

    Just about to read through the manual that came with Buster so I know what it's all about - son is due home for work any time now so he should be able to install it

    Washing Wednesday- Living Room, Hall and Stairs

    [STRIKE] Vacuum floors and sofas [/STRIKE]
    Level 2
    [STRIKE] Dusting, even if around everything & water & wipe the poor neglected plants![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE] Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe [/STRIKE] No stairs

    Ooooh, just as I hoped
