    Winter's coming back according to the forecast with wintry showers this week. Have just heard on the radio it's snowing in Liphook - you'll probably get some Greenbee.
    Yep. Got some. So pleased, seeing as I'm in the office every day this week (and have a training course in Alton tonight, so will have the joys of the A339 to look foward to).
    Its newton's fourth law, there is always a bit missing from the air bed.
    I still can't work out whether there is a bit missing, or whether it's just cheap and cr*p.

    Please can I now finally join the 10k steps as I am the proud owner of a new ped, which is safely attached and so far hasn't reset itself!!! I think I may be getting a litte obsessed with looking at it (is this normal!!) - I'm up to 1427 and that's without doing anything in particular. The booklet says I've to measure my 'normal' walking for 3 days, work out the average of those days, and then increase by 250 steps per day until I get to 10k.
    There's a discussion on the flylady FB page for those of us attempting :o to get fit...

    Builders arrived at 7am. Utility room ceiling should be up by the time I get back tonight. And hopefully they'll have worked out what else they're going to get done this week by the time I see them tomorrow (as they got up at 4am and I'm not back till 10pm tonight, I don't think I'll see them till tomorrow!).

    Good Morning! Am in for just the one day this week as we're off to warmer climes for our holiday tomorrow! We have snow fluttering down again, but it's hopefully too wet to settle. Shan't miss it at all.
    So, I have to do a general tidyup today, and declutter the fridge etc.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    This one. Let Pigpen and/or lil_me know who you are and they'll add you when they get your request.
  • Have stopped just short of the 1hr mark to check my own list of jobs and cross a few off...

    In the last 50 mins I've S&S bathroom and kitchen, emptied WM, refilled WM with another load for o/night, emptied airing cupboard and airer, folded all the dry clothes (2 loads-worth), cleaned loos x 2 and tidied round. I've also collected up my sticky mitt and hoover, ready for action. I decided to put 10 awkward things properly away in less than 10 mins, too, and will substitute this for the s/room bin-bag dance.

    Am now going to leave PC downloading the e-bay Turbolister software while I declutter a cup of coffee and get on with the sitting room now it's a bit tidier.

    Anyone for 11:00am-12:00?

    Good morning, thanks ladies for inspiring us all in this new week :)

    cosmomo you should be on :beer:

    I need a serious amount of 'get organised' kicks as I must stick to schedule with coursework etc now I have started my course. I've read half the stuff I need to this week and we're only 2 days in so that is a good start. DPs finally going to dismantle the TD properly today, see if it is worth fixing, wasn't anything clearly visable last time so needs to pull bearings etc to bits. I'd replace them all if they weren't £30-£50 each. We're drowning in laundry with DS2s bed wetting worse again.

    Living room today :jthat is my easy room, all done thank you :T we have titchy window ledges being a prefab house so only thing DP manages to squeeze on them is a small mug, I had to sort a book shelf in the storage (it's all covered so you can't see in) as I opened the door and it all fell out :o

    Going to do the kitchen so DP can get to the TD
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
