    Oh dear Im all confuzzled again:confused: There's another list? With my name on it-now I gotta read the thread:) Can I assume someone asked Pigpen to list all the flyladies?

    Again I disappeared and Im so sorry, but we had people over to dinner (remember, my friend was going to cook) we ended up sharing the load and we had a lovely evening. Now I didn't post as I was craving something horrible-but am pleased to report Ive not had a single one since Thursday night :j really struggled with my chest yesterday as a result-but I'm feeling better today. Because of the cravings I kept very busy, so just so you know what got done I thought Id list it for you:
    • Cleaned stairway and entrance hall-including hoover
    • Got six wash loads done from washed to put away
    • Cleaned LR as per level 2 list
    • Did a bin fling-bits of toys from DS toy cupboard
    • Did a bin fling-Stuff from hallway closet
    • Sorted stuff from HC to go in loft
    • Had DF put above in loft
    • Had DF take winter wardrobe out of loft
    • Sorted through winter wardrobe-purged stuff to freecycle
    • Added above to freecycle
    • Put summer clothes back in suitcases and sent to loft
    • Gave DF and DS a haircut
    • Printed Organizedchristmas countdown planner


    DF bought the printer over the weekend-a fancy canno pixma some or other, does everything we want between us so I want to get started tonight on the "Boo bags". Its going to be so easy to do this year as I can print it off myself rather than sending with DF-and I found a link on organizedchristmas to print boo signs so it'll be very easy.

    Have done the dailies today (except wash dishes) will do those after my appointment at the clinic and then I can get supper started-Bangers mash and peas with home made onion gravy.

    Then I need to do a list of what needs doing this week as DF is off to Scotland again Friday and when he gets back best man/ex will arrive for three nights.

    Hope everyone is doing well and having a good morning so far.

    [summermoon what's happening on the house front? Did they let you have your grandparents house? It was you wasn't it, apologies if not.



    Yes it was me, unfortunately the powers that be decided against us having my grandparents house. But we have accepted the other house that was offered at the time. Its under repair atm and we should get the keys by the end of next week.... just got to wait for the final go ahead after the woman who's dealing with it has inspected our dingy little flat.


    Have started on the kitchen but am not getting anywhere fast, i'm having to pull everything out and scrub all the paintwork, cupboards inside and out, and i think i'm going to have to take the lino up as its pretty grubby and elbow grease and stardrops isnt shifting it.

    Anyhoo, five mnutes break then back to it.
