    Dustykitten you are a *star*. I've been thinking about getting DS2 one for ages but all very dear.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    pigpen - have you seen my living room? I suppose I could start on it after the kids have gone to bed which is in about 20 mins. Then again, I could just have a sit down cause actually I'm stuffed from my tea!

    I'm in - missed thread last week as the internet was broken so I just followed my own list.

    Can't believe how good my house is looking after just a few weeks. Keep up the good work everyone.

    Soappie - turbo lister allows you to prepare listings over time and then upload them when you are ready. It is good for doing items which are very similar as you can create templates and things. I am a real novice on it but it is quite easy - you download it for free from ebay.

    DS3 in bed DS2 and 3 dispatched. Lamb legs steaks just about ready and oh I think another glass of wine as it is Sunday.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Oh Yes I'm in again this week

    and guess what I've been doing all day (as I got my lists very mixed up last week) - Hall, landing and stairs :rotfl:

    Having said that - I spent all day doing stuff and at 630 DD comes downstairs covered head to toe in glitter, its now in every room in the house despite banishing her to her room and going down the stairs and hall thru to the kitchen with a mop :mad: . She must have been in the bathroom as well as OH was getting ready for work in there while I mopped and when he came down he left silver footprints everywhere.

    Welcome to arwenelf (on last weeks thread) and thanks to you and pigpen for the recommendation on the books. And yes I can talk to DD about stuff but she's not likely to listen so the book will be a good idea.

    Juliejim - we avoid the feeling stuffed on Sunday by having dinner anywhere between 3 and 5 then having a pud Sunday pud for tea/supper. Just waiting for a huge summer fruit pie to finish yummmy yummmmy

    I am going to aim to complete level 3 everyday and will create an extras list for if I feel like it. Am looking forward to kitchen day as today I have mucked out the last cupboard AND CHUCKED STUFF :rotfl: (OH's having palpitations) I mean who neads a paella pan that we brought back from Spain - not used in 7 years and why we had 14 frying pans who knows, but somes gone. The only thing left in there to muck out is the drawers, so you dont frighten me pigpen with that one :D

    Anyway timer went so best go investigate and make the custard.

    TTFN

    PS Really sorry to hear about your Granda Summermoon
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
