It shouldn't be attempted by anyone with children under the age of 5 either.

DS is two but I still manage to do some flying, he either joins in (he loves it) or I do it before he wakes/during nap time or after he is asleep.
This week am not doing the full flylady list, as getting sorted for hols and also trying to save energy so I enjoy hols!
Did some of my dailies today but not planning much else other than housekeeping stuff and playing with DS. House is reasonably tidy and washing basket not full enough for a load (although will likely was some stinki bumgeniuses later!). Anyway off to shower now, in peace , as DH has DS out a walk to get local papers.
Hugs to all who need/want one!

Hi orkney - it wasn't the daily flying lists I was referring to, but a rather exhausting and major decluttering guide that I posted! It definitely would need you to be childfree and full of energy to do!

*Jellie*

I'm on a mission to clear the loft today as well as doing the lounge and master bedroom. Joining in the HHC with you!

Morning all, not caught up with anything yet. Yesterday DD2 and I went to see Harry Potter and then to Asda for a cheap lunch and a few bits of shopping, so I didn't put the computer on at all.

With this new computer, can anybody tell me if they use the Sleep function on Vista to save energy and if so does it work OK and how do you wake it up again - do you just move the mouse? Sorry, I have technofear.....

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday lists, all done Soappie I may not have been on the computer much but I've kept up!

I've got all the throws out on the washing line today, so far it's sunny and breezy so I hope they'll dry.

I didn't put up No.4 in my list but it was to get new pillows which I did yesterday and put them on the clean bed so a heart too please I'll try to think of No.5 some time.

I'm going to make a cup of coffee now and see if I can do some catching up. Hope everyone is well and that Toots' treatment is going well.

Pollybear - I'm on Vista - if I don't use it for a little bit, the monitor shuts down and I have to move my mouse and it comes back on - if I leave it for a longer length of time (don't ask me how longer) the on/off button flashes and I have to press that to bring it back up. Don't know whether that helps at all.

Need to get my shoes on now to go to the docs.

Catch you later
