    Cyclingyorkies *pass driving test vibes for DS*
    BenWs mum big hugs.

    I've done very little these last few days, it seems the more i tidy the more mess appears and usually in the places i've just tided.:mad:

    Kids have been told that as soon as they get home they are going to tidy their room and toyroom. Here's hoping anyway.

    I need to go into town and then get this utility room started. I'm still banging on about it and i've done nothing yet.:o

    I did go yesterday and get a couple of light shades, thinking that it would brighten up the place abit with very little efford. I thought it would lift me abit to get more done. I can't get the light thing to unscrew even hubby had the pliers to it but it won't move.:(

    Right cuppa and i'll see if i can get any of the list done.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Soappie congrats!
    Kolojac so sorry for you loss. Huge hugs honey.
    Mrs C glad the twins arrived safely in the end. I'm so against induction unless it really is a last resort so many end up having a c-section.

    WM x 1 on line:D towels:D sheets in WM now and beds stripped and airing - all windows open:D

    shall do my bedroom today, school work, household paperwork...

    (well that's the plan)

    :wave:in Sheffield direction to Penpen and everyone over the border...


    I LOVE CLEANING WHEN IT'S SUNNY AND BRIGHT


    oh I had a reall yuk moment yesterday. between my dining room and kitchen I have sliding doors that go inside the wall - I pull them out and dust them but these doors are almost always left open. Anyway on each door edge there was a grey sort of ptch - right on the edges and dusting wasn't shifting it. About a foot up from the floor. I have been pondering on what it was and how to shift it over the last few days when yesterday it flashed into my head that it's the cat! Rubbing and hence marking (scenting) the door then, I presume, on her marking oil (or whatever it it) dirt/dust is sticking... so a vigourous rub has shifted it.
    I'm so embarrassed it's in Flylady code ;)
