Morning all

One load of washing on the line, sulking.

Monday is kitchen day for me and that's done: cupboard fronts, worktops etc all wiped. Small appliances wiped and lifted and wiped underneath. Tablecloth wiped and window sills.

Damp wiped living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs.

Walked over to vets and bought dog's tablets and then to papershop to pay the bill.

Coffee time and off to read the rest.

Dusty - before you know it you'll be walking everywhere in your MBTs. Did you get the bigger size?

No the larger size slipped so I swopped the style for the ones you have which are much wider. They are nice and comfy now but I'm surprised just how much it makes your legs ache and you stand up straight.

Banking and library checked online.

Going to do a couple of emails and then start the hoovering.

I'm in again this week.
Had a party to attend sat night which knocked all my weekend out completely.

I did manage to get a bit done, cleaned and brushed up the kitchen.

Had a baking and cooking spree last night.

Made onion soup, potato and leek soup, potato cakes, carrot cake and peanut butter flapjacks.

Dragged all my wet washing to the wash house and used the dryers only to find that sunday was a lovely day for hanging washing out.

At least it was done.

Right best get going, got to get myself motivated to get everything done today.

Meeting cancelled, so I don't have to go into the office today :j :j :j So once I'm dressed, I'll work out what flying I can fit in between phone calls and procrastinating about tomorrow's presentation. I also need to fit in a swim.

Hippy - yes, real coffee can be made straight from the freezer. I know some people who drink it regularly but still keep it there. You can also freeze beans, although you need to defrost them before grinding

It does seem rather long doesn't it. But believe it or not, after a few weeks on here, I whizz through my normal dailies in about 30 to 45 mins, sometimes an hour. That excludes walking the dog and the ironing BTW (oops sorry greenbee I mentioned the 'I' word)

This thread makes an amazing difference to your house and therefore your life as well in a very short space of time. Baby steps to start with. Don't push yourself to hard and you'll be flying along in no time at all.

i guess you are just hardcore and know your way around all them lists and secret passageways - i'll be watching you

Morning everyone.

Cold here this morning but dry. Wanted to stay in bed then realised I hadnt put the bin out. So had to get up then. Back to bed later as Im night shift.

Lots of flying done by you all today.

Valli Think the reason I dont want to go bak is Im leading up to my retirement and have had enough of it all. Its not the clients though.

pigpen Big hugs for you. Maybe you need to take time out for you. Thanks for the doggie biccy.

hollyh Hope the car gets sorted and you feel better soon.

licklegibbon Great to see you back and congratulation on the wedding and the weight loss.
