    A bit late back, my washing machine started leaking:eek:. There was a sock stuck in the door so i've taken that out and it seems to be ok. I think i'll keep an eye on it though.

    In my HHC i

    Took dry stuff off airer & put away
    Collected laundry
    Wm on rinse
    Collected a bag of wood ( and found Ds1 has left the top off the wood store now half the wood is soaking wet:mad:)
    Cleaned out & damp dusted fire
    Lit fire

    I'm going to go for another HHC ( well 25 mins ) 2.00-2.30.

    Can some one please tell me what we can post about, and equally why / if the 'powers that be' are jumping on pigpen, because of the length of a thread, or have I missed some thing else?

    I just don't understand it.

    MACAW... EAT BETTER, no snacks, no junk
  • Afternoon everyone!

    I only joined this thread last week and can already see a BIG difference in my house! Things are a lot more organised and a lot cleaner than normal, less chaos and clutter as i am sorting and putting things away as i go along. I normally have piles of ironing all over the house as well as clothes "to be put away" on the dining table etc!
    Now i just get on with it and put them away, do the ironing one evening with a good telly night and am trying to keep on top of the washing up so a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who post here, esp PIGPEN.

    Today i have :
    SSed the bathroom
    Cooked today's dinner and prepared tomorrows + chopped & put away in freezer lots of veg sitting in the fridge
    Done a meal plan for the week
    Washed cushions and sofa sides and put on radiators to dry
    Put bathroom mat in washing machine
    Emptied the bathroom door hanger of clothes/towels etc
    Hoovered and gone over all surfaces in living room

    My MACAW this week is .... to spend less time on t'internet! Like most of you i can spend hours on MSE and other sites, and I'm now gonna try to use my online time more constructively by putting into effect the things i read about or doing something active, e.g. excercise, flyladying!!

  • Good afternoon Flyladies. This is my first post of the day. I didn't dare post until I had something relevant to say. I spend the majority of my time alone and over the past few months you have been real friends and given me the encouragement to get my house in order. Sometimes a few kind words or a little joke are what I need to see me through the day until my DD gets home from school. I will miss the chat and I will miss the friendship.
    Now the relavent bit:
    HHI 2.40 - 3.10 anyone?
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    I agree, I am already finding the thread rather dull, and uninspirational!:mad:
    Not the fault of any of you I know.
    Gonna leave the S&Sing till after school run as Mad Max will only trash the bathroom while I am out. Gonna get ready, then wake up DS2 for the school run.
