    Hex - 100 things was bad enough trying to find in one day last week when I was off work. 100 things everyday for a week would be nigh on impossible for me - unless I spent the time frantically digging in the plug holes for more hairs :D. 10 would be better...


    Lucky you - I did 100 just off the pantry shelves where DH dumps stuff daily :o.

    join me and do 10 then! :T

    Hi all
    I was [STRIKE]stalking[/STRIKE] looking through past Flylady weeks, and noticed I've missed discussions about somewhere called organised homes and pink files and suchlike. Where do I find this wonderful invention??

    Ooh and on a flying note... I decluttered a lot of coffee, a lot of milk down two baby goats necks, and cleaned out my dad's ferret and let him into his summer pen :)

    Hope everyone is well

    You're on! 10 things every day for a week. Does the week start tomorrow as in Monday? Are we allowed to 'bank' things - e.g. if I clear 15 things tomorrow does that mean I only need to do 5 on Tuesday?

    Just heard a dear lovely friend is getting made redundant, I know there's a lot of it about, but would anyone who is that way inclined pray for George and his family, please?

    Yes to both - 50 things by the end of the week for you, 500 for me. Anyone else joining us?

    the 'new' bedroom:

    Wall with the reclaimed doors leaning on it is the stud wall for the new en suite. North facing window.

    The stud wall going up in the corner is the built in wardrobe. The chaise longue is my next project - I need to go to Terrys Fabrics (waves at juliejim) South facing window - with wisteria round it on the outside.

    Works are pretty much halted now till we have the funds to move the boiler and re-fit both bathrooms. It is great to finally have a bedroom :T.

    The room is now 11' by 16' with a good size en suite, and a dressing area. The chest of drawers will move into the dressing area which will open up a 'relaxing' space for reading. Through the very small (original) door you can see where the book corridoor will be. Tomorrows job is to remove the rest of DH's tools! Ditto the table, and the old bedside cabinets. looks cramped because of the doors, but believe me it isn't.

  • Hi everyone

    A beautiful cloudless day here in Somerset. All the washing dried on the line in about 2 hours and now all folded and put away - same yesterday. I wish it would stay fine but I understand that there is some of that wet stuff forecast for the coming week.

    Never mind it will save DH from watering the garden. He has actually had to water it today as the ground is bone dry and the plants are beginning to droop.

    WellI haven't done much flying since Wednesday as the water has been turned off in order for DH to do the plumbing in the utility room. It has taken longer than he or I thought but I managed the washing yesterday for the first time for a week.

    I hope to be able to fly tomorrow as normal.

    Happy birthday to msgnomey.

    Happy Easter to everyone.
