    Afternoon all

    You can't be that bad Toots - look how much you were missed when you were away :)

    Nice breezy and bright day. Two loads of washing out, including DD's bedding.

    Remade her bed. Yesterday she packed up most of her ornaments and books ready to move out (probably mid December). So I was able to give the windowframes and recess a really good clean and then clean the inside of her bedroom window. We are planning to get a blind put up there before we move into that bedroom.

    Vacuumed through downstairs.

    Rang blind maker and arranged for fitting next Monday for bathroom/toilet blind and ordered bedroom blind. More money!

    Went over to shops and paid paper bill and got some medicine for the dog's creaky joints.
  • Great news Flower. I'm pleased for you too.

    Flyladying is improving my social life. I never used to invite visitors round on the spur of the moment. But now I can. This morning when I was in Tesco I met a mum from the school. I said, "Why don't you pop round for a coffee when you've finished your shopping?"...and she did. We have just had a lovely hour together. Normally, I wouldn't have bothered because I'd have been worried about someone coming round without warning.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D
  • By the way I think Toots is fantastic.
