    That's so good to hear Rach - flying can go hang for a bit (or be delegated ;)) while you settle in. I know how tiring it is the first couple of weeks in a new place.
    Thanks soappie - it's not a new place as such as the same office which makes things easier, because of the match funding i worked in the council office even though i was employed by the charity, but it's still a lot to get my head round!

    DH has been great and kept on top of all the washing up etc. We've had easy dinners ;) Just realised I need to stick a quick wash load in though as we're away from friday. maybe I'll load it and he can turn it on tomorrow when he gets in from work (he has the aft off), I don't want to stay up and wait for it! I might also give the bathroom a quick swizz but that will only take 5 mins

    greenbee - where in switzerland? I know quite a lot of brits are there and don't speak much German. My best friend lives in Zug.

    rach honey its so good to hear that you are liking your new job already - I hope it continues - flying can go ............ just forget it until you have settled in - its very tiring in a new job - besides your house never takes long to be done so it must be really clean and tidy anyway!
    mummyof5 gosh that seems to have come round quick - great excitement for you 'granny' too!
    valli I am the same open stairs, glass floors - i would be on my hands and knees!!!

    I still cant find that last read button:mad::mad:

    Aww love babies...the last read button is on the bit where it says the main title page (I'm rubbish at explaining stuff btw)...next to Flylady thread title is a little pointy downwards arrow, click on that and it takes you to the last unread post for you.

    Geddit.....clear as mud right?:D

    Evening all

    Bevan - grat news about OH

    Rach - glad you are being stimulated

    Tia - hugs and bp behave vibes. My DS was 25 days early and absolutely fine, hope you can go a bit longer

    Hoovered the floor again after haircuts
    DW on (OH finished loading)
    WM going on next
    laundry from the line to sort

    then a little bit of labelling whilst I watch Ugly Betty.

    Bit tired now - step count will hit 15000 for the day so not bad when you add in a pialtes class.

    besides your house never takes long to be done so it must be really clean and tidy anyway!

    my secret is out!!! It does get a bit messy but never that bad as I really can't stand mess!! We've all got different tolerance levels I guess. It does get dusty and because I have long hair and wooden floors it needs really regular hoovering. Of course we have no kids to mess it up and we're both out all day too!
