    Morning All

    Sorry not been around for a couple of weeks, due to
    A. Starting work
    B. Laptop playing up n no chance of getting on DH computer:rolleyes:

    Work is going well, i am enjoying it and the kids seem to have adapted to the new routine well - guess the holidays will be the telling factor there.

    Am keeping up with the flylady, though its more S & S than deep down cleaning but it looks good:o . Not had chance to read back throught the thread but HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHANNA:beer: .

    Just on -line while I sort out the busy bees vouchers, best go run round with the hoover and put the breakfast dishes away before heading off to work. Am finishing at 4 today so should have collected the kids and be home by 5.

    Will allow myself 5 mins to flick back through the thread.

    have a good day everyone:D

    Morning all

    Happy Birthday Johanne :)

    One load of washing sulking on the line.

    Vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Prepped veggies for dinner.

    Watched Home & Away (that's work, right?)

    Might cut the grass later, although it doesn't seem to be growing much this week.
