Used to do one of these each week but I have become a lazy lazy slob it would seem!

Anyone care to join me with lists and motivation?

Ooh sounds fun. You entertaining or going out?

penguinsarecool · 28/11/2015 10:16

Yeah i noticed it in Sainsbury's yesterday. The wrapping looks christmassy which was enough to divert me from my usual domestos. Fully expecting it to smell like bleach still though!

afreshstartplease · 28/11/2015 10:19

I would have sniffed it by now lol

Easy day here housework wise, I'll hopefully fit in another 2 loads of washing (I have a bit of a backlog as I didn't get much washing done this weekend) but that's all I have to do apart from making tea. Dd is in bed where she should be for the next hour at least so I'm going to dry my hair then drink tea and eat biscuits!
