    Evening all

    Ended up doing the kitchen tonight as I was in there anywhere, so will do the lounge on kitchen day!

    Good day today, nice walk this afternoon. Bit grumpy this morning as my boss was late for our meeting (she only lives 15 mins from work, i live more like 90 mins but she's always later than me...). But hey, no point getting too grouchy over it!

    The evening seems to have disappeared so far...leftover roast for dinner, chicken taken apart, stock on as we speak, DH's lunches done for tomorrow, washing up done, kitchen cleaned, WM on cleaning wash, rubbish out, will edit my list in a moment and catch up on the thread too.

    Julie - please send hugs to Polka

    AnW's Mum - well done on getting to the tip :T and thanks for passing on the message about Toots. We're going to have to make sure she takes it easy for a bit.

    GnB - the zero thingy... I was trying to work out how highly leveraged one of our suppliers was - they had zero borrowing, so trying to divide that by their total assets didn't really work :o ... and the treasury manager kindly drew the attention of the whole commercial team to my lightbulb moment of realizing that zero divided by something... was still zero :rolleyes: So the accountants have reminded me that I'm only allowed to ADD unsupervised. Anything else needs to be done by someone else ... and they think I'm stupid :D

    Not much flying this evening. Left work too late to get to yoga. Have eaten and done a bit of catching up, spoken to a fund raiser at my old uni (happy to donate, but if they think I'm giving credit card details over the phone for a monthly payment for the next three years they've got another thing coming - they didn't appear to be prepared for 'my card runs out in 2 months, I won't be keeping the same one, and actually, I'd rather fill in the forms myself and pay you from a bank account...' ... I'm not really paranoid ;) but I'm working on credit card compliance right now :rolleyes: )

    I've got an off site meeting tomorrow, 9am start (an hour earlier than usual) so won't be able to go to the gym first. And although I've asked TWICE about accessible parking, I've had no reply, so I can see that if I get bored I'll be making a major fuss about it :p

    Done no flying at all today with the exception of emptying & refilling the DW.

    DD2 has been sick twice...once after the antibiotic and again after paracetemol. Think we're in for a fun night if she's got earache but can't keep any medicine down!

    Try fresh orange juice Sunnygirl - when I had an ear infection I couldn't keep anything down either and the hospital told me fresh orange juice and it worked - something about it being sweet?

    Polkadot has had a miscarriage.

    JJ, please pass on my hugs and sympathies to both her and her husband - I am thinking of them both, it is so sad.

    My list has now grown, have had a really lazy day today and done nothing but fall asleep - hope I can sleep tonight now as I have a meeting tomorrow with a developer...:D hopefully for some work... Still, I must have needed it so I'm not beating myself up over one day, and will make up during the week as looks like I'm not working for most of it... :( New list now looks like this...

    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is to stick to the flylady list and have a clean house!!

    Didn't get much done today - I just feel all my time gets spent doing my dailies, cooking, feeding and looking after the kids :mad:

    I'll have to make more of an effort tomorrow.
    See you in the morning with a shorter list!!
    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
    Can never keep up with the thread - otherwise I'll never get anything done! But hugs to All :grouphug:
