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

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 todayIt 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!0 -
