    Morning all

    I've done all the bedrooms today so I'll claim my star when that day comes round :)

    Can't remember what's on my other list and I don't think I've even found a No.5 yet but I'll check it in a minute. Just tried to find my other posts and something's not working on here so I'll look later.

    Two loads of washing out on the line including my washing and it's nearly dry so I hope the rain keeps away for a bit longer.

    I'm going to make a sponge when I put the oven on for dinner so I've just got the marge and eggs out to come up to room temperature.

    Off to catch up now, hope everyone's OK.

    Found it:

    1. Finish pruning shrub Done
    2. Go through DH's wardrobe for recycling before they come tomorrow. Done
    3. Cupboard under stairs Done
    4. Tidy toiletries basket Done

    Can't rememeber which ones I've claimed for but that's four done now. I must try to think of number five.......

    HI everyone - sounds a bit like we're all having a tough time at the mo - I think it will help when the sun comes out again, which I am confident it will do soon -there can't be anymore rain left up there!

    I managed to do all of Tuesday's items, but am having a car boot sale at the weekend, so currently have about 14 cardboard boxes stacked up by the door. This is of course the moment that someone decided to pay an impromptu visit last night -am so embarrassed - a classic case of flylady's Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome (CHAOS).

    Will try to do all of Wednesday's items so I feel better about it. Must take library books back too and make some more cleaning fluid!
