    Right, I have hung up damp washing, piled up the clean washing and have managed to get t'other half to agree to tackle Washing Mountain (Yep, it's so big it gets its own capital letters now!) tomorrow.

    I have cleared the cr*p from the living room table and there is now enough room on the sofa to sit down. I am classing myself as decluttering the floor in there too, it just badly needs hoovered.

    I have also disinfected the kitchen bin, so despite not having been as much of a Flylady as I hoped, I am feeling the sense of accomplishment I remember from actively taking part in this thread in previous weeks :T

    I am going to have Bad Days too this week though as I already have two cinema trips and a night in the pub planned :D :beer: :D

    I want to go for a bath and bed...but I can't until I have finished the washing/dying thats in ATM and put it out on the maiden overnight. I'll have to sling some of it in the TD tomorrow morning I suspect as well otherwise I'll be clothes-less tomorrow :eek: That also means I'll have to iron in the morning so I'll set the board up tonight, and get everything I can sorted. I'm coming home tomorrow at lunch time asap. I'm going to set up my timer for 45 minutes or 30 minutes then I'll set the appropriate one going when I get home. ;) I hope I can get lunch and do some work while I'm here. Then I'll dive home at 3.15 as well as soon as all the kids have gone and work then. I'll catch up on the gossip at break time ;):rotfl:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
  • :xmastree:I'm baaack! New kitchen fitted (just tiles, and a few other cosmetic bits to do), and most of the tools put away, and spare room is now turned into baby's room (still needs more of a tidy though, but I'm sure that will be the default state for the next 18 years ;) ). With all that going on, there wasn't much point me trying to keep up with anything resembling flying, but now I'm going to try and get back on top of the chaos.

    We've been out all day, but tomorrow we're home all day waiting for a delivery (although hopefuly it will come early, and we can get some fresh air!) and Wednesday our only appointment is at the doctors in the afternoon. So lots of time to get at least to level one :)
