Good morning ladies,

How can I wake up tired?

This week I am going to really try hard. The house is more than respectable following the 21st celebrations. Really it should be a case of maintenance.

I have a pile of ironing to tackle. I will give downstairs a flutter when I'm back from the morning school run. I will try to wrap a few presents when I get back from work at 2pm. Ironing will be started after dinner tonight.

I hope everyone has a successful week.

Morning all

Dank day here, all the pretty frost has gone.

Welcome newbies.

HH in the kitchen now for me whist makng packed lunch and polishing shoes.

[Jazee]

Morning all. Thanks Dusty for the list. I'm in again and think I may actually get through my list for today even if the paid stuff is busy as I have a bit of a head start on the LR from yesterday.

I got a second wind last night, so the tree and most decorations have gone up, and I've wrapped all the presents which have arrived so far. I just have some tinsel wreaths to make - gosh that sounds tacky, but they will be pretty.

Anyway my list for today:

Walk dogs
Hoover/clean floors in LR and HSL
Wipe paintwork in HSL
Wash windows
Water plants

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all

Thankyou for the lists xxx

I'm in for the 1st part of the week, then off to else where in the world, having only had 4 days off this whole year, I am now ready for a break.

So far yesterday and today
Daily type stuff done
Floors done
Cards all written and stamped ready to post.
All presents delivered, just got to sort something for the person feeding the cat.
Cat food sorted.
Passport back with a visa in it, I missed counted the days by 1 sothat has cost me an extra £35, thank goodness I doubled checked last week, if I had got to the airport with no visa, = No flight and I would have been well p&&&&ed off.

Off to work

Take care hugs all round xxx

Level Two
Vacuum the stairs and hallway and living room
Wipe and water plants
Level Three
Wash the windows
Wipe the paintwork in the hallway and up the stairs
Extras

Morning everyone

Thanks for the list again Dusty

DS and DD both off school poorly - DS has a cold with hacking cough and DD has had sickness and diarrhea all weekend. Think I'll be flying in other rooms this morning to steer clear of them both for a while, although getting a fire going and watching a film cuddled up on the sofa may be in order this afternoon, especially with the Brucie Bonus of not having to do school runs and football training runs tonight.

Please spend your time doing the stairs we don't want any accidents.

[Dustykitten]

Any spare vibes please ladies for one of my friends. She has found a lump and is getting checked out tonight. A mum in our children's class sadly passed away last week due to breast cancer so my friend is very worried. That is two children in our year group who have lost a mum to cancer and one in the year below all within the last 2 years, so sad.

[bossymoo]

Oh no DK, I hope its nothing sinister.

It's frightening all these little ones losing a parent, so cruel. I don't know how well you know the childrens fathers, but there is the WAY foundation which is for "widowed and young" people, and I've found it to be a lifeline this year. The good thing is, the children are involved too, so they get to meet other kiddies who have suffered the same loss.

HTH xxx

[trulymadlydeeply_indebt!]

Positive vibes being wished for your friend Dusty. We have a class at our local primary school who have lost 2 parents in the last 2 years, plus another Mum from the same class is also dealing bravely with cancer at the moment. For a small village school, it is a huge percentage, and they are parents to 11 children between them, so it makes for a lot of sad children.

I don't know where my last HH went to - well I do, I sat on here instead - so now I am definitely moving my rump and battering on.
Anyone in with me?????

I got the vacuum out without realising and before I'd finished clearing the stairs of clutter. That's the non methodical way I work hence an untidy house
But Living room floor decluttered. Bottom of stairs clutter sorted into piles and put upstairs. I'll attack the rest/top of the stairs bit by bit/next week.

[toochoosey]

I'm joing you TMD.......I've done pretty much the same here!!!

You're absolutely right. It's because the upstairs spare rooms are cluttered that stuff has nowhere to go. But generally it does, it just takes effort. Sending positive vibes your friends way.

Trulymadlydeeply_indebt I'm so out of flylady habits but HH is that half hour? I'll join you for the last 15 mins now. And get some more cr.p off of the stairs!

[ZCC72]
