    Friday is the only day I don't work, I had been hoping to get more done before today, but anyway, I have finished the lists today ALL LISTS COMPLETED! I can hardly believe it, I am now working down the outstanding list of my own creation - it will be a miracle if I can ever say that has been completed, but plodding on. Hugs to all that need them, I've only been on this thread for a couple of weeks but I'm already moved by the level of friendship on here, and also it is a good reminder that others are dealing with all sorts of problems as well, its sometimes easy to think that we have the worst problems, lives etc, I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Toots - I have finished Thursdays list

    Not sure how much more of todays list will get done. DH went to 'look' at a Border Collie puppy this morning, and (rather predictably for someone who was just going to have a look) came back with one :rolleyes: . One of our existing dogs is a collie cross so we know just what we are taking on.

    YES!!!! I did zero (ZERO!!!) items last night!!! not a single one!!! I set up the ironing board with the best of intentions which is still set up in my living room!!! :mad: That seriously annoyed me this morning, but its my own fault!!

    In my defense I was dealing with new washing machine and trying to fight/wrestle with the old one!! :rolleyes:


    Will do it tonight, and will come on for my kicking later!! :D

    All upstairs has been done:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
    My bedroom and I have hoovered through the kids rooms...just to keep the floors clear (not least because of the gerbils) and vacuumed the stairs.
    Dining room to do then it's a full house (and TBH it's not bad anyway;))
    I love being a flylady!
