All toyboxes are now empty so now I've got to decide what's going back in! I've already filled a bag for the charity shop. Book shelves sorted - quite a few books to go - shame really but I haven't really gone anyone to pass them onto.NST #10 Steps 7K 2/30 10K 2/12 5 a day 3/30 NSD 0/20

The Bathroom is done!:D
Thank you holly for the HHC, it helped to know I wasnt alone
Washing dishes to go and finished my list for the day. I do have to add sweeping it to though, where does the dirt come from on laminate flooring? I take my eyes off of it for two minutes and there is a dustbunny party going on0 -
Had a quick look at one of the council websites last night, and 1 school has posted an advert for 2 jobs (1 for 1 term - ideal for me to finish my last term, and the other for a year contract I think) so I'm going to get an application. I also read on TES (Times Educational Supplement) website, that teachers have until February 28th to resign for the end of the spring term, so there may well be a few jobs coming out. I'm sure that all of your flylady vibes had something to do with this job coming up!
Oooo ... could you send the link to that TES website please?

Does anyone fancy a HHC 12-12.30? I haven't had breakfast yet, so think it may be brunch instead, but I'm conscious that I've got quite a few hard tasks to do and haven't started any of them yet. Think some of them may carry on over the weekend (OH's tasks as he's at work and we go out to dinner on a Friday to my parents' house).
Here you go nicki. Just seen your HHC post as well so I'll join you for that one.Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170 -

Morning all
Friday errand done
hair shorter but tidier and fringe not in eye. By the time I got back and did tea it was time to go out to Theatre to see Blood Brothers at Sheffield Lyceum with Maureen Nolan - it was fab.
Found (well I know where it is now) my missing Prince CD. Mentioned it to my mate during the interval - more in passing really and she has it...she stayed here for a week last year when we were on hols (she was living at her parent's after violent altercation with hubby and waiting to reclaim her house after thei divorce - it's been a while - so I thought she'd like a break (and I'd have a house/petsitter) she had CDs but that one got mixed in as her hubby had given her a random selection and she thought it was his - so it's coming back. This was last Easter by the way) pre flylady - so you can see how many I've got...
Lots of hugs needed - (((hug)))Morning All
I have done a bit of school work this morning instead though but I've still got some more to do. Froddy and Serena - we'll have to do a HHP later in the day - I bet valli's already done all hers.
