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 ) 2.00-2.30.0 -

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!!0 -

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.0 -

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.An' It Harm None, Do As Thou Will
