Morning all (she says, slinking in after being MIA for weeks )

Can I come back and play?

Need to get back into a regular routine as my current one of not sleeping nights, getting up late and playing on the computer is not condusive to a tidy house or a slim bottom! Will start at 12:00 (nice round number with the kitchen cause that's the worst...)

Hope everyone's fine - it's been a while since I properly read the thread (shame on me) so I'm a bit out of the loop with everyone so hugs HUGS HUGS to all just in case

Right,

I have now:
done hair
had a piece of toast
washed up plate after toast :eek:
packed for going away
made lunch to eat en route

All ready and dont even need to leave till 12 at the earliest :j

This flylady stuff is really working.

Now all I need to do is declutter the study, the family room, the bedrooms (all 5 of them :eek:), the utility room, the porch, the garages (all 3 of them) and the car and then it will be all A-OK :rotfl:

Morning all! I had the dentist this morning and have had a tooth drilled down and a temporary crown fitted ... now at work so don't reckon I'll feel much like cleaning today! So I'm just going for level 1 today with a couple of easy extras:

Why is it so hard even now?

I started to clear out the coat cupboard and only got as far as sorting the stuff hung up. There were all sorts in there including DH's yellow coat, his leather jacket and Quo jacket. They are going to be hung in our wardrobe and some of the others put in the loft. I will tackle the bottom part another day.

Up for grabs are a couple of pac-a-mac type coats for little ones. First one is age 4-5, and blue the other is 8-9 and pink. When they are packed the 'bag' bit has hearts on, W had the blue one :rotfl: I didn't think he would mind so long as he didn't get wet!

If you are interested PM your address and I'll get them in the post.

After that there are more bags on the landing waiting to go in the loft! Will get the ladders out and see what I can put up there now.

WM on with coats/fleeces.

I have a horrible smell in the office/ cat's room. It smells like something has died. We have panelling on the walls so I think something has died behind it. The windows and doors are open but the smell is still there. Any ideas on how to deal with it, please?


Sorry haven't read through the thread yet as trying to get jobs done before I sit on my backside.

AnW'smum Hugs love, Just read your post. I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Thinking of you.

You wouldnt believe what I just did!

After posting that list above, I thought 'Why not?' and went out and emptied the car of all the rubbish:T Two carrier bags stuffed full :eek:

Then remembered that there was some washing I needed to hang up to dry (would have needed to rewash it if Id left it till I got back).

And emptied the DW and put the binbag in the outside bin - so wont need to remember to do it on Thursday morning (nearly always forget )

And still time befiore I have to leave - whatever am I going to do next?

No, the study will have to wait - it will take three months of doing nothing else to get that straight.

Had a WHC x 2 (whole hour cleaning x 2) morning. DH is crawling round the M25 on the way back from Gatwick. Downstairs is immaculate and bathrooms are gleaming, beds made, d/w, w/m, t/d loaded and going round.

No tennis today as it's one of the girls birthdays. We are playing scrabble and cards at my house at 1.30pm (hence the 2 whc:o).

Now going to beautify myself to welcome DH back home - another 2 hour job as I'm shattered from running the the kids around on my own for a week.

Off to turn the cement mixer on (open foundation bottle).....:rotfl:
