Hi happy rags, and welcome!

To cross out on your list, when you click on reply, you'll see a crossed out S just above the box you write in. Highlight the text you want to cross out, then click on the S. Alternatively, some flyladies just delete the items so their list becomes shorter! Up to you.

mojt - you beat me to it! I'll have to learn to type faster!

Morning everyone.

Sunny here this morning. Plan to meet my DD about 11 so will do some flying first. Will tackle bedroom list as its catch up for me.

Polkadot. Thank you for sharing. Big hugs for you and I hope you get your meds etc sorted soon.

Happy-Rags Welcome

Right where is that bedroom list.

Morning all
Gray an overcast here today but dry at the moment. Just had a lazy brekkie, going to jump in the shower and then get going.

polkadot well done to your DS, watering the tree made me smile this morning good luck speaking to the practice manager

Polkadot - how old is your LO? I'm sure I should know but I can't remember sorry. Have you spoke to your doctor's yet?

Dustykitten

Right exercise done, breakkie scoffed off to the shower so que delivery guy arriving.

Polka excellent potty news

And yes I did deal with 10 more emails whilst sitting here.

serena

Sorry julie - I don't do ironing! I'll go wash up I think.

I've been waiting in vain for the rest of the family to roll out of bed and have breakfast, but no signs of that. OH stayed home yesterday, as he said he had a dizzy spell when he got up. And it doesn't look like he's going in today either. If he sits at the laptop for hours, I shall dust and stardrops him...

Main bedroom for me today, and as soon as he went into the bathroom I removed the bedlinen, so he can't go back to bed. Mean?? Me??:D

DD came in late again last night, about 11.20pm, when she said she'd be in about eight. So another quiet talk again, when she'll probably just laugh in my face or ignore me... Love her lots, just not enjoying her company very much at the moment...

I intend to do a bit more decluttering today. At the moment, we're at the stage where it looks worse than it did before I started, but I'll get there! Once the freecycle stuff has been collected and the books taken to Oxfam, there'll be a bit more space. I think I'll go and look at carpets for the livingroom today, and email the curtain pole manufacturer to see if I can buy separate finials for the smaller windows.

And a quote to share with you, can't remember where I found it though!

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
