    You might want to take me off this list - unless there is something I didn't yet know - good job DH doesn't read flylady - he'd have a coronary :eek:

    I'm not pregnant (not for a few years yet I hope) :o (although I do keep getting told that at 31 the clock is ticking :(

    Apologies if I miss anyone because it really was a super fast skim! Only logged on becuase I wanted to make sure I said have a lovely holiday, and a Happy Birthday for Sunday (I think) to Dusty Kitten.

    also
    Congratulations to Grateful
    Happy Birthday for yesterday Natty, and today for Choccybix and Trikers DD
    Hugs for Ishtar

    Went to Nottingham Ikea this morning and now have a curtain rail for the drafty front door, and some basic pine bookcases for the top hall. They will look ok if I farrow and ball them and staple some fabric to the back. Beats waiting for the prince of procrastination to have time to make me some, and when he does these can be used in one of the bedrooms.

    Since getting home I have cleaned up dog sick (mostly cashew nuts stolen from boys!), washed the dog, washed the carpets where the dog had walked sick, re-cleaned the BR where the dog walked sick, put the food shopping away, put the WM on with our bedding, filled the DW and S&S'd the kitchen. This will explain why I am up to 9k steps without feeling like I have walked anywhere!

    I feel better!! Thank you for the good wishes toots, much appreciated.

    I haven't actually done all that today, just the bathroom (and cloakroom, but that's not on any list) and vaccuumed throughout, but with all the bits during the week, I have actually covered the lists.

    ffp - I love your valentine smileys!

    Happy birthday dusty, and have a lovely week! Have you packed yet???:p:D

    Hi hex, will you be needing those bookshleves now you're pruning the library??!

    Thanks Hex (you are right x) and Toots and Serena (was your bird a redwing and glad you feel better)

    The bookshelves sound great - before and after pictures please

    Packing coming along (just had to stop to help DS3 make a valentine's card for his true love)

    DS2 and my clothes next and then it is odds and ends.

    When DH gets home we need to clear stuff for the shower room work to take place and I need to sort breakfast and lunch to take with us tomorrow.

    Finished for half term so now have chance to catch up. Will need to get more organised as I go back full time after the holiday. I'm really dreading this as I'm actually enjoying keeping on top of the domestics and my family certainly appreciate the home cooking and clean house. They even help out!!
