    :bdaycake: Happy Birthday Toots.:bdaycake:

    School rang to see if i could lift DD, she's got a sore tummy, is cold and is as white as a flylady's sheet. So thats another one down.:eek:
    I've 19 things on ebay this week and at least 4 are going, not much i know but at least it's something. Also have 5 things on freecycle so hopefully they will be gone by the week-end.

    Big hugs to everyone thats going through it this week.:grouphug:

    Right back to some flying, i think i might tackle the paper work as it seems to be taking over our bedroom.:o
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Re flying, all the regular rooms in my house look great but I have 3 dumping grounds - the spare room, the downstairs study (hubby's domain really) and the garage. I really need to try and sort these out. So need to get the small jobs done off my list and then make a big list of the OperationRoomofDoomEquilibriumRestoration or ORDER as I will call it for short :D

    Liking the 'O.R.D.E.R.!!!:D Well done on the Wii fit. Think I need to start making use of ours. Do you just use the wii fit game or have you got another good one?

    Hugs Mudbath...hope the hospital can give you some answers.

    Hugs for you too Crafty for the loss of your friend.

    More get well wishes being sent your way Vanilla for your DD.

    Back home from the school run and going to do a bit of maths with DD1 then maybe another HHI at 4.15pm if anyone want in?

    Just logged on to say Happy Birthday to Toots

    Dusty - Lots on hence not being around - helping a friend with a work problem, client with a tribunal pending (that IMHO they deserve to lose!) who wont pay me for months and months anyway, a big TUPE project at my part time job which will take me up to the christmas holidays with lots of travel to Welwyn GC involved, plus still pushing my bid through for Project Crocus.

    No cleaning or exercise done, so I had better do HHC 16-16.30 if anyone wants to join me?

    On the positive side DH has agreed that I need Fitflop boots as an anti chillblain measure after I tried some on at Grand Designs last week, just need to find them in my size in black :j.

    Thursday ~ Study, Landing, Porch and other neglected bits!DONE!!
    Level One

    [STRIKE]Declutter the floors in the study and landing [/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    Vacuum these areas![/STRIKE]THERE IS NO CLUTTER ON RoD's FLOOR!!!
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Declutter and dejunk the porch.. this is where first impressions of your house are made![/STRIKE] No porch so did flat's bin room instead
    [STRIKE]Sort through coats, bags, shoes etc.. are there any that can be flung? Who needs a new winter coat this year?[/STRIKE] Neither of us do! My shoes are nice and tidy under the bed - got rid of a pair that had been given a final warning!
    [STRIKE]Wash the front door and wipe paintwork![/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Binbag dance! [/STRIKE] Done in RoD
    [STRIKE]Wash any sofas/chairs in these areas
    Dust and deweb.. esp the porch!![/STRIKE]


    Extras

    3. List 5 things on ebay!/freecycle.. or just fling them to charity shop!
    4. Change the curtains to the thicker winter ones!
    Hugs to everyone who needs one.

    YIPEE!! Room of Doom can't really be called RoD anymore. All the boxes/clutter are off the floor and I can get to cupboards, table, x-trainer, etc., really easily - NOTHING in the way. Even managed to close the curtains last night! Another bin bag of shredding and bag of paper recycling out today. All storage boxes on top of wardrobes are clearly labelled. Really pleased - actually able to do my work in there rather than at dining table. Insides of wardrobes, filing cabinets, etc., still need work...

    JillD - like ORDER - think I'll put it on the RoD's door so DH doesn't clutter it up!! (he's just found out that he has 3 boxes of HIS OWN paperwork to sort through tee-hee!).
