  • I have done/decluttered.......
    2 weetabix, a banana,caught up with thread, Kitchen S/S,washed up, tidied the livingroom, WM, TD (against my better judgement), cleared the computer desk, washed face and cleaned teeth, took in DHL delivery new OU course off for a look at it in a mo, made tea in that order!:rolleyes:
    Austy due back from his club soon and Piper wants to play on the computer so I'll back in a bit.

    Toots your treatment will be a lot quicker than what you had yesterday now they will line it up fast. Just a pity it is so late in the day.

    Jennybee / Boddy tell them to bog off. You need fiends like that as much as toothache/hole in the head.

    HSpuschel-schmal.gifRight you are all doing very well and some are deserving of a cuppa:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:.

    I'm keeping up with my dailies though so the house looks ok and wouldn't look terrible if I didn't do it at all this week, maybe we could/should have a Flylady holiday lol *raises eyebrow in hope* :D I think work and doing my own house is making me a litttttle bit fed-up with it at the mo lol

    ETA: Actually I've had a bit of a think, I'm pretty sure I could get away with doing the weekly list fortnightly, we're all out most of the time and I'm finding now things don't need doing on a weekly basis, of course some things will like the toilets and the laminate floors but windows and such like don't, so seeing as I wouldn't get any stars anyway I think I'll do it fortnightly and see how that goes :confused: of course I'll be doing the above plus dailies so I'll still be able to post :D
