Swinstie73 Morning everyone,

I'm in again! Don't know how much I will get done but will make a good go of it! Well done everyone!

P.S. How do I get my name on the list on the first page? Don't tell me, I bet I need a star - ok so will never get on now *sneaks off feeling embarrassed*

:xmastree:
That should work for you! The tree makes your name stand out well!
Don't worry about trying to get a star just yet, start with Level One on the daily list. Give yourself a huge pat on the back and a reward when you've achieved it. Then, if you want, try Level Two. or, if you have huge amounts of 'stuff' then add a 15 minute decluttering mission to Level One. You will make progress over the weeks and then be able to whizz round the room to level three!


Monday - kitchen and dining mess Done!!:D:D:D
Level One
Level Two
Level Three

Finished that before ten this morning! I was going to go down to the allotment early again, but it was very grey and then rained. I'll go this afternoon if it clears a bit. I'm really keen to get as much done as possible down there this week.

I'm currently cracking the whip with the boys, and they are shovelling out their room - in advance of the list, but it'll take them all week to do it!

:hello:Hi to all my fellow teacher flyladies!! (Don't spend all half term doing the housework!!;))

I won't be around tomorrow, as we're going to France for the day - and it's my birthday!

Doing quite well

Washing on the line,
first lot of corn planted out
watered a few plants
fed the birds
started the kitchen
spoke to DS3 from the top of the monument (he is doing the fire of London at school and as they are off to Lords for the cricket DH has taken him to see Pudding Lane on the way)

Just having a late breakfast then I need to make a couple of banana loafs as bananas are too ripe for anyone here to eat.

Re Christmas come on ladies you still have the following to enjoy:

Wimbledon
Longest Day
Summer!
Pimms
Back to school
Halloween
Guy Fawkes
Beautiful autumn colours

Don't go wishing your lives away it goes too quick anyway!

Morning fly gang!!

My goodness such activity - its just brilliant!

grey and damp here so dont know what it will turn out like
I am tired after my late night so this week I WILL be in bed before 11 every night.
Have been up since 9.30 but had some phone calls to do so they are done and out of the way.

Irie angel try to get to bed at a reasonable hour this week too!!! I do worry about you posting in the middle of the night! Enjoy your caching - I am pleased you are having some me-time and gettting food in the freezer is going to be a great help. hope you have got that list made and prioritised.
penny I have to agree with you and I think you should put your foot down as board guide:rotfl: no more mention of Chr****as until at least october:rotfl::rotfl:

And we're going to spend an hour on the bedroom togteher which should be plenty -

:rotfl: sorry but the way you phrased this did make me giggle!!!!
aunty crafty I promise I will take it easy - did you get a pm from me - I know I wrote it but it doesnt seem to be in my sent box? Not nice here either.
Denize enjoy having your Ds at home - I am sure you will manage to spoil him a little!
quillion what a shock with the water bill - hope you get it sorted - maybe ther is a slow/little leak that is making it so much higher? I hate ants too.
glamazon SLOW DOWN!!!! that list of your is far tooo energetic!!!:rotfl:
DayDream love the pup!!!!
bevan do be overdoing it if you should be resting especially after a day at work - fill the sink with nice hot soapy water and pile the dishes in to soak while you have your tea and then they will be easy peasy - if you do the dishes and dry and put them all away that will be a brilliant start to the week - I aim to do my kitchen but it will probably take all week so dont feel bad at only doing one thing.
sexy - thats excellent - supporting a good cause and getting rid of some clutter WTG:T
soappie 17!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I know snails are a necessary part of nature but I dont like them
Quillion what have you been up to - I somehow dont think being first to complete todays list constitutes RESTING!!!!!!! bad girl!!!!! and yes we can have little helper stars this week -give me a name or a nickname or will it just be 'Quillion's LO' ?
Swinstie you are on the list already!!!
Valli well done you for getting organised - i dont have the time yet!!:rolleyes:

I am very impressed with the work you are all doing this morning - it is soooooooooo nice to see lots of our teaching brigade being able to catch up and pop into the thread - I hope you all manage to get some jobs done to make your lives a bit easier for the next term.

right I must go concoct a list

Made some good progress. Bed stripped, mattress turned and hoovered on both sides and protector washed and drying, bedding in wm now, bedroom window cleaned and all the plastic around it, bedside tables washed down, jewellery cleaned, under bed hoovered, just off to finish the room now. Can't remake the bed til later though (until mat protector dry!) DH helped with that lot but is now playing his wii game.

Then I'll start on the kitchen!!
