    Hiya guys!

    For those flyladies who would like me to do their hovels.......................it would probably be easier for me to do yours as I am so ruthless! My terms and conditions are as follows:

    I do the following:
    I like lots of coffee Me too, plenty of coffee here
    Any pets must join me on dedicated coffee breaks Dog loves that he gets a biccy then
    1 large umbrella so I can have a ciggie break outside without getting wet I'll join you for that
    Did I mention the coffee? Joining you for that aswell

    I do not do the following:
    cook DH is brilliant at cooking and does it all
    clean up small children I'll shut their doors
    engage in anything pink or glittery None here

    Think that more or less covers it! LOL

    1 step

    Right I think I've covered it all - when will you be here, kettles on and ciggies are waiting

    I do the following:
    I like lots of coffee No problem... just restocked
    Any pets must join me on dedicated coffee breaks No pets, but can borrow a jack russell/chihuahua cross if necessary
    1 large umbrella so I can have a ciggie break outside without getting wet I can rig up a nice awning over the new patio with an old sail
    Did I mention the coffee? Don't worry, there's enough to keep you going till you've finished :D

    I do not do the following:
    cook That's fine... I like cooking
    clean up small children none here, so that's already
    engage in anything pink or glittery I think I can let that one pass ;)

    Think that more or less covers it! LOL

    1 step

    So are you on your way yet? I think you'll find you have to pass my house to get to Froddy's :p

    Hi,

    Since my last post i have

    Finished washing up
    S & S Kitchen
    3rd coat on walls
    Cleaned out rabbits
    Watered plants
    Repotted leeks
    Folded load from td
    Wm & Td x 1

    I'm having a coffee break then i'll go and do the 4th and hopefully final coat. Then i just need to do the ceiling, the woodwork, sand & paint the cabinets, get a new curtain rail, curtains and shower curtain, do something about my manky tiles, deep clean the loo, bath & sink and give the floor a good scrub and it should be done.:eek: It's not all going to be done today obviously god knows how long it's all going to take but it'll be worth it in the end.

    Ds2 has been painting pictures with his paints. He asked me to help him put them away and i asked him if he was sure he didn't want to do anymore. He said he'd do some more after his breakdown :eek: i think he meant break .:D
  • Ok so I live in South Wales.........................the first person who lives near to me and who will see my parents tomorrow instead of me................gets a clean house!

    LOL!
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p

    Dinner - yes, chocolate - unsure, a healthy (or unhealthy dose) of guilt trips - def!

    1 step closer~~ cracking up here at your list of 'demands!!' :rotfl:

    Right I have just done 3 hours of gardening, the compost / green recycling bin is full, have to wait till OH comes in from work, so he can go 'bin jumping' :rotfl: to make some more room!
    Lawns are cut, but squelish when you walk on them and leaving footprints everywhere:eek:, about 2/3rds of flower beds are weeded, The new bit of lawn from where I took out the pond last year is growing well, 20 or so pot are demosseed, / replanted. / topped up with soil, so have stopped for a break, and to deal with Mount drymore, which is slowly going down.

    I think I'll spend the next hour in the green house, potting on.

    Boat race later on, if I remember in time :rotfl:

    As 1step will be doing all my cleaning, I don't suppose you want to stop off and do my gardening? I feel very unmotivated with only half of it accessible (and the fact that it keeps raining doesn't really help... :o)

    Think I might go and light the fire, then blitz the bedroom so it's nice and cosy given the grotty weather.

    Not much done here today yet just the dailies. I've been to see mum and took her Easter egg and she was over the moon. Then went to see DD and went shopping with her. She now has a laptop and dongle. Her friend will set it up tonight as she hasn't a clue. I'm just waiting for the frustrated phone calls. It went really dark here before and it poured but now sunny again.

    rosepink Hope you feel a bit better today.
    greenbee Please pass on my love and hugs to sandy. Sending healing thoughts.
    Mumof2 Hugs.

    Hugs for everyone specially Toots, Lady L, Diva and sandy
