    Morning everyone

    JillD - ORF it was feb time last year.
    Greenbee - you family are only phoning because they care. They are probably more intelligent than you give them credit for and have guessed something's up. Speak to them, otherwise you might just find them knocking on your door all unexpected like.... Love the table by the way.
    Nicki well done on getting something out.
    Quillion - now nice of you to help your friend.
    Toots - I've emailed Dusty...

    Typical isn't it, a day off and I'm awake at my normal time so I got up. I'm going to wash my bedding today as the weather over the weekend isn't looking too good. I'm also going to do the food shopping
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Good morning all,

    Hope you are all well, havent managed to catch up on the thread yet - I was busy in the garden until 8pm!! Have flown round the living room and also did the windows and glass as there was doggy snot and pawprints on most of them!

    Dining Area is ok, bathroom is almost done. Kitchen is a bit of a bombsite though.

    Work are coming to visit me at home at 10.30 so will need to make it presentable before then......:rotfl:

    Am going straight to the tip after the school run and getting rid of lots more rubbish. Will be flying this afternoon

    Love, hugs and necessary vibes to all xxxxx

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Holly hugs for you and your sister, how sad :(

    Love the table Greenbee and the life lessons.

    I've noticed Dusty isn't posting, hope she's ok.

    OH did some of the electrics in the new utility yesterday, that was a nice surprise when I came in, waiting for Screwfix order before he can finish the rest, then of course there's the painting which I still haven't done...but, it's getting there.

    Hard day at work today, it's 2 x jobs and 5 hrs in total but the first job is quite stressful cause she's a frail old lady who's blind and pretty much bed-ridden who looks to be at deaths door, keep thinking I'm gonna go in and she's gawn, Bless her, when she talks tho she's stil got a sense of humour, we planned to go dancing last week :D

    Second job is a huuuuuuuge house all wooden floors so done twice (hoover then mop), got 3 hrs to do study, dining room, living room, entrance hall and hallway, cloakroom toilet etc, stairs/landing, small shower room, utility room, full kitchen clean (granite worktops too so done twice to polish them up) master bed, 3 kids rooms and family bathroom....considering she's well in the money she is incapable of buying a decent mop I've had to do a hands & knees jobby quite a few times :rolleyes: so that's why I'm knackered on a Friday lol

    my listy: seems quite small in comparison lol

    make beds
    S&S kitchen
    empty DW
    reload DW
    tidy living room
    sort tea
    dry washing
    hoover through
    mop kitchen floor (things were spilt)
    take clean washing upstairs
    make sarnie for work
    housekey for work
    littley pick-up from dancing
    littley drop off at nanas
    sort fridge
    take pile of books upstairs
    recycling
    local shop for bits
    pack shower bag
    Go to OH's for power shower (bliss)


    Easy! :D

    Can someone tell me what Operation ORF is, please :confused::o

    For those who don't know, ORF is short for Operation Red Fiart. Apparantly a red fiat has been parking on my drive on a Thursday. Without my permission. I do not know anyone with a red fiat (unless the gardener has changed his car but I only ever see him on a bike).

    ORF was a silly phase in the Flylady lives. Look through the weekly flylady thread starting around 20th Feb 2008 and onto beginning of March. But it was great fun! I ended up buying a network camera and various flyladies logged in and watched my drive for me.

    Never did find the perp...
