    or at an old fashioned ironmongers - I know exactly where I would try in Valliland BUT - sudden thought - might well not be available to the public..
    hang on
    here

    that'd be a yes then..

    I'm going to prep/cook a veggie chilli before I do the hall and stairs..

    Well I started my 1st flylady day! :j

    I've decluttered all said floors, hoovered all of downstairs and 1st set of stairs, we have 2 sets! (lovely to have bedroom in top of house, but hate all that hoovering!) Made the bed and cot! opened all curtains (am terrible for doing this in the mornings).

    Have stopped for a :coffee: and fed DS his lunch as he is getting tired, and trying to get him into a new napping routine (after lunch only) to keep in line with nursery on my work days.Hopefully I can then get on with all the non-hoovering jobs!

    Haven't put wash on line as it looks like it going to rain, not sure whether to risk it or not!!:confused:

    Once DS is in bed I will reheat leftovers from takeaway (never done this before as always scared I would be ill!, But I'm a MSE now so I will). Make a shopping list for baking, put wash in tumble or on line! Try and get stain out of carpet that DH said he was doing, but has left it, on upstairs landing so I can then carry on hoovering when ds wakes. Think thats all for now, oh and

    likkegibbon - I am a pratchett fan, but also think the name is cute, unlike the character, wouldn't really say twoflower is cute!;)

    if its got a line through it, its completed

    Afternoon all, posting first and catching up later.

    I've done the kitchen/diner today so I'll claim for that when the right day comes round. I also damp-wiped the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs. I'll complete the living room and stairs another day and claim my star then :)

    One load of washing out on the line and it seems to be drying well.

    Went over to the vet to get some painkillers for my dog who is still limping badly, I hope they kick in soon. I was only out for half an hour and came back to two cards for missed deliveries (for DD1). Typical. Rearranged for tomorrow now.

    Hope everyone's OK, time to serve up pasta bake, back later :)
