I did some more ironing and I loaded the WM as it had finished its boil wash.

Thinking of going to have a quick shower now as I'm a bit hot and sticky then I can put the oven shelves in afterwards.

Still more ironing to do but I've done enough for now I think.

Need to go to town after lunch as I've got to pick some prescriptions up for DH and get 1 or 2 bits from Asda.

Does anyone want the £5 voucher out of the NOTW for Mr Ts? It's valid until Saturday so if I post it today you'll have time to use it.

After my poor attempts during the HHC, would anyone like to join me in another one 11.15-11.45? I'm determined to do better next time.

Morning ladies

Rain overnight here, now sunny but a LOT cooler. One lot washing waiting on line to come in as dry already with the cool breeze. Another lot waiting to finish.

Dusty - 7 jars of blackcurrant jame made and its lovely. We put the berries through the juicer so no bits and it is gorgeous altho I did worry if it would set. Its just right not like the jars of jelly you buy in the shops. Havent tried cordial yet - did you put the recipe up I cant remember. Kitchen was all cleaned but OH brought back a huge trug full and hasnt finished picking the bushes yet :eek: . Still not sure whether to use the ticket, will wait till end of the day and then go as if I go back into town now I'll only go shopping .

Ragz - I have 2 days to catch up on so best make a start altho OH has just gone to bed so cant make too much noise

jjef - happy birthday to DD2 _party_ hope the party goes well.

Off to start a list now

Sexymouse - I'll start once I've done a list until 11.45 see you then

Hi sexymouse (and colleague LOL)
I will join you 11.15 - 11.45.
So far I have cleaned the hob - properly including the vent thing which I can't easily get out) and then I decided to do a skanky cupboard - well it's the one under the sink because that's also where the bin is and I had to clean it (drying outdoors to smell sweet) so I thought I'd do the cupboard. It's drying now...and while I was in there I got everything out including the basket with oil/screenwash etc so I have thrown out the black car polish because we sold that car 8 years ago...so I topped up the screenwash and checked the oil!...and then I decided I'd clean out the plastic carrier thing I keep the bottles/polish in...and the tray I stand the washing up liquid on -full of drips...and I'm getting in danger of not finishing here!
So HHC - put stuff back in cupboard, clean all surfaces all tiles and cupboard fronts. Wash floor.

I think I'm suffering from a case of that Law (Parkinson's?) - Work expands to fill the time available for it.

See you later Ms Mouse!

Just a quick query - are there many Flyladies who work full time as well as trying to keep the house in order? I keep popping in from here at work and now that I'm all motivated, I'm jealous of you all running around getting things done while I'm stuck at work with not a lot to do! (I think 'jealous' might be too strong a word really, but you know what I mean!!)
