    Will put my list up after I have had some breakfast and become semi-human again.

    Sorry I disappeared last week, I got behind with the thread and gave up trying to read and catch up.....it always seems so rude just to come in and dump my stuff and run!

    Dusty ~ sending my best thoughts for your husband

    Diva ~ so glad your friend has shown some signs of improvement.

    Hope you're all enjoying the snow, I think I would rather be trying to Fly when it's freezing out, it was 29c in my kounge when I got in from work and had to face this lot :eek:

    Monday - hall and lobby!
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe surfaces[/STRIKE]

    [STRIKE]Polish all the glass things (hall windows and front door)[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Declutter and vacuum and mop the floor[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]De-web and de-fluff the room[/STRIKE]
    Extras
    [STRIKE]29 fling boogie! - I'll make this 29 handfuls of weeds[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Sort my shoes[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Dinner[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Make lunch for tomorrow[/STRIKE]
    Make sure lounge is tidy before flaking out for the night

    Found a pair of shoes I thought were lost and threw one pair in the bin. Usually I swish the lobby floor with a sponge mop, but tonight I thought I would do a proper job: on my hands and knees with a bucket and cloth. OMG it was truly filthy, cloths have duly gone straight in the washing machine. Cedar wood front door 'fed' and polished inside and out with orange oil - smells lovely.

    Can't believe I have done so much and all finished by 9.30pm including sitting down for ten minutes to cut and file my nails. Go me! It can't last. :rolleyes:

    looks like I might be stuck in for the day!
    I'm in again this week off to crack on have a good day everyone xxx
    On a mission
  • Good morning all :wave:

    I am still around, just no time to post. :confused: That should mean my house is all clean and sparkly - not!:o

    I am keeping up with all my dailies:

    SS Kitchen, Bathroom, Shower room - off to do them in a moment
    Make beds - done
    DW, WM, TD, BM, CM - all done
    Feed dogs, cats and fish - done
    Groom dogs and cats - cats done, dogs - in a mo
    Walk dogs - not today coz they're not keen on *snow* :snow_grin

    I did get the kitchen floor washed and all ironing up to date on Saturday
    No flying yesterday as I went to a Dedication. For those who don't know, it's like a Christening, but at The Salvation Army, and it was lovely.

    Diva - glad to hear about Tristan. I couldn't get near the prayer tree yesterday, but have been remembering him in my prayers.

    For all of you who have to go out in the car today, travelling angels go with you and will you all please pray for a bit more snow that we have at the moment in my area. I have to go down Hafodrynys Hill :eek: shortly, and it terrifies me when it's dry, let alone when wet and snowy. I'm not looking forward to it at all.

    Anyway, must go and finish off bits before I hit the road. Atmosphere at home is quite nice at the moment, even if I haven't got all my flying done!

    Planning tio give DS a massage as he's one of my case studies, and if anyone is close enought to me to want to be another case study, PM me - I need 2 more!!! I can travel a bit, one of my studies is in North Somerset, so that's 40 minutes away.

    Might get back later, but if not, hugs to all, and if there's anything important that I've missed, skimming the thread, perhaps someone would PM me so I don't put my foot in it!

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Diva I'm very pleased to hear that about Tristan, still in my thoughts x
    Dusty bet that was a bit of a worry, glad he's sorted now though x

    We've had a flurry of snow last night but it seems to be melting now thank goodness, tomorrow's supposed to be the biggie though, I'm staying home if it's really bad lol

    Made the beds, found some more bits for the Charity bag, put away littleys toy box into her cupboard, packed her off to school, opened the windows to air - for 5 mins brrrrrr - got ready for work, made 2 x brews, checked bank account online, took some stuff from the pc/spare/dining room and put away in my wardrobe - at long last - been doing that for well over 6 months :rolleyes: set the DW away, found some dirty washing & put that in the WM ready for later (it's still not full :money: ) found summat for tea (quiche & new pots) tidied living room from last night & I'm just about to swill the loo's with toilet cleaner. Gosh that sounds like loads.

    Laters lovelies! :hello:

    Welcome newbies & returners :wave:

    PF I know what you mean re: Dedication - not many people know this but I used to be in the Sally bash, a long time ago - played instruments and tambourines, the lot.

    For all those out & about today and especially drivers - in the words of Hill Street Blues

    let's be careful out there.

  • Morning All.
    School’s closed today! :T :j :jI feel like I’ve won the time lottery! :j :j A whole extra day and I’m not poorly.:j :j Woohoo!!! :j :j :dance::dance:

    There’s at least 6 inches of snow on top of DS’s out door toys may be up to 7 inches on the trike in the middle of the garden if my estimation skills are any good. DS is itching to go out and build a snowman. :snow_grin :snow_grin :snow_grin He’s already asked for a carrot and planned to put him in his superman suit. Will be taking pics its beautiful. It’s the tidiest my garden has looked since summer but I’ll have to try to remember what’s lying around out there. :o I will get lots of flying done today, should be able to do the LR to level 3. Off to get a carrot. :snow_grin
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.

    Good Morning,

    Hugs to Dusty and Diva. I shall go and light my candle in a moment. The island has come to a standstill with all schools closed. Bus Service and taxi's not running so we are all at home :-)

    So no excuse not to fly today which is a relief as I kind of fell off the wagon last week. Fortunately I finish at my main job at half-term so will have more time to make this hovel more of a home.

    Hope everyone has a safe day. x
