    Mabboo - I'm a bit worried about you walking to work at that hour of the morning! Are you sure it's safe?
    Welcome sammiell and daphne~sparkle :)

    I've just got in from work - went to Curves on the way home so I'm a bit late.
    Need to get dinner on cos OH has work tonight. He's out fueling up the vehicles - petrol has gone up again!!! :mad:
    Will get some of the list done while dinner is cooking . . . .

    Morning all

    Dreadful weather here this morning. I can see the drive to work will be fun! There's also a weather warning out for heavy rain for most of the day. Still, means I won't have to water the garden tonight.

    Have a good day ladies

    Hi all, well count me in for a bit of a flylady ala Triker style week.

    I'll give it a good though.

    So far, cleared shed for car boot junk, given a pine cupboard away to a neighbour as no room for it.

    Discovered whole back room wall damp :eek: maybe as a result of last years floods so need to get an insurance assessor in.

    Was ruthless with a huge bag of old make up and binned the lot yesterday.

    Also went a bit demented and decided to go through the mountain of bedding, curtains and old material that was stuffed in a cupboard. Most of it now in a bin bag for charity shop.

    So hope you all have a productive day/week.

    Morning all,

    Back again this week, this must be a record for me. Didn't have time to catch up with you all at the weekend so hope everyone is OK.

    Signed with new estate agent on Saturday so hoping for some viewers this week. Need to get in front of myself a little bit today as I have to be out of the house quite a lot this week and it needs to be clean and tidy so someone will buy it!

    [/STRIKE]Made a decent start and have already done the dining room apart from vacuuming; didn't want to wake the neighbours!

    Kitchen, bathrooms and sitting room now done too, throws washed and two other WM loads done. Need to do some paperwork now, the lovely VAT and PAYE :eek: . Just vacuuming and mopping to do then if I can be bothered I will do some decluttering in the wardrobes.

    And thanks for the thoughts for ds last week he went into hospital to see what they can do about his oxygen as his blood oxygen levels keep dropping but as ever they will let us know when they get round to it:rolleyes:
    Hope he's ok(((hugs))) for you and him, can i ask whats wrong with him? Feel free not to answer if you dont want to.

    I'm in again this week, may be a bit sporadic as LO is in for surgery this week. Going in for x-rays etc today and then the actual surgery tomorrow. She really needs it this time, think she must have had a growth spurt as she is complaining of her back being sore:o

    Glad its the bedroom today, hubby actually got round to cleaning out the cupboard of doom so all his tools are out the bedroom:D

    Morning All. Damp and overcast here again today.

    Woke up this morning (well and in the night too) with a pain running from my neck down by shoulder blade. It has be niggling for about a week, but seems much worse this morning. I reckon it may be a pinched nerve. Any suggestions to how to ease it ladies as I am mvoing like Arnie Swarzeneger (sp!) at the mo?
