  • Doh! No brain, posted on old thread not thinking it was Sunday and there would be a nice new shiny one... Up early with hubby for work tomorrow so hope to get some stuff done before I go to work at 8.30am - we'll see, but probably be playing catchup Tuesday...:o Hey ho, my house is still sooooo much better than it has been
    and I have cupboards that are neat and tidy and stuff that I can find, it's amazing, thanks for all the support over the last couple of weeks...
    Hi everyone.
    Hope you are all well today!
    I have been trying to catch up on the thread and post these bits for at least 3 hours – I keep losing my connection and having to restart my computer as it freezes and I have had 3 long phone calls also to interrupt me!!:mad: :mad: :mad: toots xx

    Hi Toots, you sound so much better now, glad you're getting there... :D:D:D

    My internet kept going down today too... do you recon there was a general problem coz of the weather or something? It was sooo annoying, everytime I went to do something.

    PS: I love that you call me flower - it's great!:rotfl:

    I LOVE how we keep getting newbies . . . welcome :hello:

    Hugs to those who hols didn't come up to expectations. We were meant to be away this weekend, but DS3 got sick so we didn't go. Have rebooked for next weekend, though!

    DS3 is back at school today. Has been on antibiotics since Friday afternoon, and while still quite tired, is so much better in himself.

    The day is half over for me, but here's how it's looked/looks so far:

    Monday Mop- Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop floors
    Clean the fridge and work anything that needs using soon into your meal plan
    Continue decluttering kitchen table
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..

    Extra Mission : help yourself
    1. S&S over the hob and oven
    2. Empty the bin.. wash it out.. and make it smell heavenly
    PLUS:

    WM - load of towels and a blanket on the line
    DW - emptied
    Walk dogs - walked one dog, other dog has sore leg

  • Morning!
    I'm in! Finally finished my list of jobs last night and then collapsed into a pile of ironing!

    Off to work in a moment - but back later, I need to keep flying to stay organised!

    Hugs to all!

    Morning All

    Back to work today although the kids don't go back until Wednesday. Can't remember a thing - not even the door number to get into school! Half asleep as the kids had me up in the night and I couldn't get back to sleep.

    But I'm here.

    Off to get sorted now.

    Catch you later

    Hugs

    Glad you had a better day. I've come to the conclusion that there are no decent single men in Hampshire, so maybe we'd be better looking further afield :rolleyes:

    You need to move to Shrewsbury. I've already got OH but there seems to be a ridiculous amount of really lovely some kinda cute guys between the ages of 22 and 38... unless thats the case of when you have one there appears to be hundreds of others scenario :T Sorry that doesn't help you much, good luck in your search...

    Morning ladies and welcome to all newbies,

    I go over my 'not getting anywhere fast strop' re flying, on Saturday morning and managed to do all my normal dailies and get the house up together. It looked lovely when we left to collect DD.

    Long trip up to Elsmere, thought it was Oswestry:o. Though took a while as DH wouldn't go above 60 to conserve petrol:rolleyes:. Very frustrating especially when your getting overtaken by caravans:rolleyes: I bought him a Boost bar when we stopped at a services and funnily enough it did boost his right foot to do 70 when we started off again:rotfl:Anyway, DD had a wail of a time but I'm glad she's home.

    There is a strange bright object shimning in the sky at the moment. So I already have one load of washing on the line with a second to follow shortly.;)

    May I ask about the 'control log' some of you are on about. What is it?

    Right off to find me list. Will be back later. Looking forward to 2 or 3 HHC today;)
