    Piggers or Pen Pen (or someone with Power!) - could you add that fact to the title of the thread please?

    Will do ;) Had a very busy day - only just finished clearing up after dinner. DH is putting the chooks to bed, then we're going to have a coffee while I do a bit more of my DRO training :o

    Can anyone who's in touch with toots, pleas pass on my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    See you all tomorrow, Penny. x

    Hugs Sarah for your friend, I will certainly be hoping she gets a nice judge and shaking my fist at her not-D H

    Had a very productive HHC:
    Cleaned the table
    Washed up
    Cleaned out cutlery drawer and tray (as there was no clean cutlery it was a good opportunity to do it! And it wasn't as bad as I was expecting)
    Cleaned cupboard fronts and large appliances

    So my kitchen and my kitchen list look a lot better now! :j

    How did you get on Rach? I nearly stopped early, but then thought of Toots and went and did the last 5 minutes. I'm going to work harder in her honour - we need to have a good star total before she comes back

    Time to relax with the Apprentice, should be a good laugh tonight

    Well I have posted tomorrows list for big and little helpers!! Nice easy one!

    I spent 2 hours asleep this afternoon.. kind of sat on the bed and crashed! .. oops!!

    Children went of to dad's at 6 and he brought them back at 9... an hour late... :/

    DD3 has spent most of the afternoon being sick so hopefully she will be fine overnight.. yes I sent her to her dads to barf on his carpet too! She is fine in between episodes of chucking up. DS3 had a go on Monday so it is obviously a buggy thing which given my current level of immunity I'll get twice and three times as bad as everyone else! :s

    My dishwasher has been repaired so has been on twice today and I've done a couple of loads of washing. and even got carried away and folded some.

    Off to get another assignment underway.. though it is proving nigh on impossible to find the information for it.. hence I am here typing a load of waffle instead of being off looking for it! :p

    Slapped leg for Toots for overdoing it when she promised not to on her return back to us last time! .. If you don't watch out Mrs you'll have one of us camped with you every day until you are well! Behave yourself and that is an order!

    Am sooo mad, just lost a post! this stupid laptop seems to randomly refresh and lose posts

    rose - i started late but have only just finished! I:
    • cleaned out the recycling boxes (took them outside and scrubbed with hot stardrops solution)
    • hoovered stairs, entrance and landing
    • wiped all paintwork in above
    • emptied dyson & kitchen bin
    • hoovered kitchen
    • folded some laundry & put some away
    • put wm on with cleaning cloths and towels in
    • S&S kitchen
    CRBs - yes you do need a seperate one for each activity but the system is changing later this year anyway

    sarah - that's a ridiculous amount of time. I do them for our volunteers at work and they come back within a fortnight usually. I would guess it's the agency you're doing them through that's the problem! flylady vibes on their way to your friend.

    toots - please give her my love

    AnW - well done on your big step (((hugs)))

    Thanks for all the nice wishes. Off to find my list...
