Morning all

Well, I like the colour of the floor varnish now it's dried off (medium oak it is) so that's what I shall be doing today! Just hope there's no rain otherwise it'll be cold with the french door open!

Morning everyone.
I havehad some great news (i hope) I contacted tax credits to tell them about my new job and i have had a payout of money they owe me. :j:j
Just a bit nervous about spending any as it has just been paid into my account with no letter of explanation or anything. Thing i will give them a call.

Off in shower xx

Hi Guys

I have cleaned the kitchen at work but as it is only small it did not take long, The microwave was another story. It was minging. But not any more !!!!!!!

amazing how manky work microwaves get ... I rarely use ours; I clean it more than I use it - and then I moan about the state it was in :rotfl:

I would hang fire with that - the letter will be in the post!


humph - I had another quote - o well never mind

Hugs to Diva

Toots and Lady Liberty in my thoughts - hope you have a good day girlies. Hope Mudbath's boy is making good progress. AnWsMum will be at work no doubt, but thinking of you as you arrange your stone for OH - hoping some of the wedding box memories are making you smile hun!

WM x 1 on line, WM x 2 will be finished shortly.

I have no ironing atm because I did it all last night. Shall strip the beds and do my room today. Kids rooms have had the 'hoover flash' and I will change their beds (and do any essential maintainance/dusting) then that's it

Hi All

Got to do some studying today, plus I have godson coming to stay tonight after rugby training :eek: so not much time for any more than a S&S and (perhaps) the odd HHC. I'm going to close the Flylady tab down on my computer, as it's too distracting!

Am planning to get DH and DD to help declutter their stuff from the living room this weekend in a family HHC, which should mean I get further with the living room/hall day than I did this week. Still, I've made a start.... House looks better than it's done for years.

Will keep checking in occasionally for news of Mudbath - hope all is well.

Hugs to all who need one
