    It's still raining here but the snow is melting so I got togged up and took the dog over the shop and paid the paper bill. She hadn't been out for a few days (I'm scared of ice and her legs are rubbish so she tends to fall down anyway let alone on ice). It's still really cold out there.

    Thanks for that mummy2mygirls! As you can probably tell I am new to the fly lady thread although I have been browsing for a few weeks! :xmastree:
    I like having a clean house but have DS1 6yold and DS2 4yold! The idea of having specific jobs to do each day sounds like a good plan! Going to take LO's for haircut now.

    Sexymouse - I have been to the gym... cardio, weights, abs, stretches... and then I did some emergency shopping... how about you?!

    Obviously I haven't managed any flying yet, I'm barely managing to keep up with work phone calls etc!

    cleaned all the downstairs floors earlier, I come back from the school run to find OH and some bloke fitting a towel warmer/radiator thing in the downstairs loo(it is cold in there!!)I am very grateful but neither had wiped their feet and.......IT IS RAINING OUTSIDE!!!!

    on a lighter note where is the best place for nice/relatively cheap curtains, I have looked in next, marksies, debenhams, dunelm, leekes, rosebys, they do not have the colour I want....cream with a bit of black?
    Thanks..........
