    Tiles done so all levels and extras are completed. Therefore I've earned my Tuesday star please Toots x I'm popping off to B&Q now for some bits to plant up inthe tubs by the front door... (*thinks to self*)... I must stay focused and not buy more unnecessary *barguins* that I will then need to declutter with weeks...

    I've read the thread but must have brain fog today as I cannot remenber who did what and so big hugs to all in need and best wishes to all.

    Tuesday is as complete as I can manage.:)

    I'm feeling a little panicky about tomorrow; Mr LW is on early shift and therefore will be working from home (he has to log on and check that all the systems are working at 07:00). I have to make a Shepherd Spy for lunch, I have a Dr appointment at 14:50 (enough to make me panicky all on its own), we need to visit Morries (has to be done when Mr LW is around to take me), I need to get him to colour my hair, and somewhere in all this I have to
    find time - and more importantly energy - for Flying and also my daily WiiFit+. I know that probably sounds like nothing to many of you, but to me, it's a heck of a lot.:eek:
    Wish me luck, and if anyone has any spare energy, could you send it over here please?:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • I’ve done Tuesday jobs!! Please can I have another star? I’m actually finding a balance between work/home at the moment so quite proud of my little self. I do find it really difficult working from home. There are times I get distracted between the two. But I’m glad to say that I’ve done the work bits I needed to do this morning, got all my flylady jobs done – having a bit of lunch whilst reading all these posts then I’ll crack on with the washing.

    Maybe I’m just a cheat but I have some covers for the bottom of my oven which I can just change every couple of months so my oven always looks nice – unfortunately you can’t get them for the doors so I will be following the tips on here to do something to do the doors – even my four year old tells me the oven doors are filthy.

    Sarah2490 – have you posted that letter yet?
    Greenbee – What are your spider defences? Would love to get rid of some of ours!
    Mumof2 – Thanks for tip for shiny taps and sink – where can I get stardrops from – I notice it is used in a lot of these tips. Can I also ask how you did the blinds? I have vertical blinds and when I was doing the windows I noticed how filthy the actual blinds are.
    Lamewolf – Good Luck

    My MIL was here last weekend and is coming back this weekend – she won’t recognise my house. Wonder how long it will take her to say “lets see how long you keep it like this” grrrr!!

    Hiya
    I've just popped on to see what the lists are so far this week. I've been offered a job at the hospice where I was doing voluntary work - still doing the same thing but actually working for them which was a bit of a surprise but nice to be asked. It means I won't be around much but I'll keep checking the lists and then seeing what I can achieve. The good thing is it's school hours with reduced hours during school holidays.

    Hugs to you all - I miss [STRIKE]chatting[/STRIKE] working hard with you all!

    Right, I've an hour to try and get a few things done.

    Big hugs to you all xxxxxx
