Thanks so much Sexy, I will try the vinegar method on the sheet. It sounds like it might be mildew so hopefully that will do the trick!

Hugs Pigpen sorry to hear you are in pain

Hugs Grateful, sorry to hear you feel like a bag of spanners. (I take it this is a bad thing and not a good thing)

How did you get on with your ebaying Toots?

Serena, glad the wedding went so well, that’s lovely

BlueberryPie hugs to you, I completely understand what you mean about the hoovering etc. I asked DH to hoover once and after about 2 mins he was about to put it all away. I came out of the bathroom and said “you haven’t finished, look at all these bits here, and you haven’t done the kitchen yet.” He said: “Yes I have” I said “well there are still bits all over the kitchen floor and you need to do the edges.” He’s not too bad, but not as thorough as me. Now I try to get him to do every other hoover, so that it gets a thorough hoover in between! I know it’s very frustrating for you, you just need to stand over them and crack the whip until it becomes automatic for them to do it properly

Grateful, who is PC that DH is weeding to appease?

Greenbee, spending time with people is very important, I’m just the same. Last week I made a big effort to be more sociable and it’s made me feel a lot better. Plus you have to keep up with the flying because people are coming round!

Pigpen, when it comes to DIY or cars I always get a manly beast to do them. For one thing, if you do DIY etc, you just end up doing every thing, as manly beasts do not take over the housework. So it’s not being anti-feminist or anything, it’s just being practical!

Teehee to Mr Tag being silly about his plates!

Rach I’ve PM’d you my email. Also, the little fly things sound like those little flys that collect around compost heaps, (fruit flys) it could be the compost under your sink ETA just seen it's compost not stuff waiting to go on a compost heap, so scrap that idea

Shazba, so happy to hear about your new nephew! Congratulations! I bet mum is worn out now! Are they both doing well?

Michelle, you’ve done loads! Well done! What a busy person you are!

Poor Julie, you have a nice dinner and freeze the rest ready for another day

I've had a very nice day, had some people come round unexpectedly after i'd been to the Kingdom Hall, and i only had to do a quick run round tidying before they came in so that was very satisfactory! Thanks so much flyladies for helping me! The LR is fit to be seen and CHAOS is receeding!

I really need to catch up on the washing up tho, will be doing a lot of that tomorrow.

serena

Yes!!! Next week planned, and all the resources uploaded to the shared school site.

I don't understand why my light was still on earlier, as I logged off when I said I would, and I was next door drinking coffee and shuffling vast quantities of paper... I've been making terribly slow progress today - sniffly and sneezy, and can't think straight.

I would have liked a wander around my favourite garden centre, but I'm promising myself that later in the week!

Juliejim - being me and rather stubborn I would sit and eat the lot all by myself just so that there was none for sandwiches. Or freeze slices in gravy covered portions for a more adult approach?

Froddington - I am findng this really useful in my mission to change shape: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1189011
Couch to 5k running podcats.

Flower - I loved your break down of how to put a shelf up. Can you tell me how to change a light bulb without breaking it?

I have an ironing mountain but need the plaster on the wardrobe to be dry before I can use it (ooh, wardrobe :j), plus I need to find the coat hangers which haven't been needed for the last two years . Think I will save that as a Monday job, all the broken hangers will then count towards my 500 flings for next week.

Yes,teenager back at school next week. Has been grumpy and starving for the whole holiday.

The house is looking good,hasnt looked like this for years if ever.
I have 5 girls and always thought that the house was never going to be tidy with everyone at home.

Now only have 2 at home, and that is no longer an excuse.
I now have a different and more challenging task ahead.

Thank you flyladies,its going to take some time,but at least I have started.

I have done loads and loads and loads and loads and loads in my garden!!! :j

My mum is a fab help and so good - I cut back all the bushes and shrubs which were at the front of my decking and have been neglected for a LONG time - there is a massive pile of stuff which i am going to need to take to the tip tomorrow as there is no way Im ever going to get it all in my garden bin!

It was hard to tell where the shrubs stopped and the lawn started so Mum did a fab job of cutting them all right back and edging the lawn and it actually looks like it should look like that now......almost.

Will need to finish cutting back the shrubs and go over the lawn a few times with the strimmer again but its getting there. A few trips to the skip no doubt but babysteps.....

I wish i had taken a 'before' pic......Ive taken an 'after' but it still looks a tip, if I had a before you would see a huge difference!! But there is a difference - I promise!

Asbodog kept eating branches and running off down the street and then of course we had to go looking for him.....he was sniffing his way round the street pretending he was a big tough dog to all the puddy cats around and going bounding up to them.......of course as soon as he got close all he wanted to do was sniff and lick them! :rolleyes::rotfl:

Poor mum though - shes come down for a rest and has been grafting in the garden - I kept telling her to get a book and sit down but she wouldnt. Now Im off to make chicken fajitas for tea, mums on the sofa watching movies with the little one.

Hugs to all - especially Dusty, Mozzy (really hope your better soon hun), toots, juliejim, sexymouse and rach - hope you get the flies sorted.

And of course to anyone else you needs or wants..... xxxx
