    Morning everyone.

    Slept very well last night once I managed to get to bed. But feel the need for a second cuppa before I get going this morning.

    I will fly when I've done the work thing..

    Morning Ladies,

    Feel much less grouchy than i did last night after my spill in the kitchen!!

    Pigpen - my mum did that to me once, when i was about 14-15 I think. :eek: Going to high school with a uniform that hadnt been washed was mortifying and I never EVER forgot to put my clothes in the basket again!!! I dont think anyone at school noticed; they werent dirty, just unwashed, but the thought of it now still makes me cringe!! It should work on the older ones, unless they dont care about dirty clothes!! :rotfl:

    Am off to make some tea or coffee and start on my kitchen before the chief messmaker awakens to grace me with his little presence.......also need to iron school clothes and a work shirt, which i didnt get round to last night.......not the best start to the week :rolleyes:

    Take care all - have a good days flying, will pop in when im at work to see how your all getting on xx
    :)Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying:)

    Sweep and mop the floor - DONE YESTERDAY
    Declutter and wipe the worksurfaces
    Level Two
    Wipe the table
    Wipe the units and large appliances
    Extras

    Lol, done it many times. Tried putting it on different cycles. Hubby gave it a 'tap' of the mechanical variety obviously. Its definately sulking.

    ETA - Valli... I think you'll find I'm the IT expert here ;) . I'm pretty sure what GnB needs to do is ignore the DW while it's sulking at her. It's just a question of making sure you don't give in before it does! Obviously, having loud conversations about taking it to the dump to make room for its replacement should help speed up the solution!

    Have also talked about its impending replacement well within earshot:D

    Hubby has a friend coming up to look at it later. We can live without one for a while so its not the end of the world, just really annoying.
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

    :xmastree: Please can you count me in too. It will be my first time at flying with you guys. A few years ago I did try signing up to the American Flylady site but it completely clogged up my inbox with emails telling me to shine my sink at 3am and then there was the 'daily inspirational' email. It didn't last long and we've been living in CHAOS ever since. Well, I need to take control and I'm just about to go and make a start in the kitchen as instructed.

    Will pop in again later after work.
