  • Well my attempt on this week's Flylady thread has been thwarted by being hit by some sort of virus leaving me as weak as anything. On the plus side I have a kitchen and living room cleaner than they have been in a long time and I will attack the other rooms next week.
    2025 - Declutter to Move House

  • i've despatched DD2 to school and DS to college.

    I've also rung school as DD2 is in a right state about her options for 6th form! They have said they will get someone to talk to her - and have promised to do it without mentioning my name! ( I may still be alive tomorrow - kids hate me interfering!)

    So off for a HHI!

    Ok, did most of my dailies this morning before the school run, but still need to;

    sweep/vac all floors
    get washing through
    and various other tasks that I will add as the day goes on...

    Feeling a bit blue today :( It turns out that one of my friends has been complaining about me behind my back. I don't really mind that, because let's be honest, we all do it. I love DH to pieces, but I complain about him all of the time! :rotfl: It's this woman that she's been discussing it with, she's a real b*tch (really toxic) - I've never heard her say a single kind word about a person and it makes me feel a bit sick and betrayed that my friend has been talking about me with her.

    Oh well, I'll find lots of positive things to do with my day, put on some forties music and chase the blues away! :p
