    Well done :T:T:T

    But it's important not to burn yourself out at the start. Just try for level ones for a couple of weeks. It WILL get easier as it goes on xxx

    Hi there soappie
    Noi chance of that, only managed to do all this as kids have managed to entertain themselves today!! Back to school and morning nursery on monday so there isn't the same length of time to get things done. Littlest starts school after the summer though, woohoo! After 10.5 years at home with kids it will be nice to have some time.
    Thanks again

    I've spent all this time scrubbing the tiles, sink, bath & loo. I haven't even done the floor yet.:eek: I need to get on my hands and knees and give it a good scrub, i'll do the kitchen floor as well while i'm there. The grout is slightly better but still looks manky.:(:(

    HHC at 9.00 anyone?

    drum roll please!

    For the first time in 22+years of marriage we have a car outside our house that one of us owns....DS has finally managed to sort out insurance, tax etc on the car and has put fuel in it (last lot went more on the drive)!

    Fellow flyladies can I ask for your help - DS will need some stuff for the car...but I don't know what (non-driver here) - tyre pressure gauge and pump come to mind....can anyone add to my list of things he needs?

    Many thanks for that...:beer:

    I'm waiting for someone to come and change our electricity meter, apparently it has "reached the end of it's life."

    I'm gradually waking up, i got up at 7:50 and got dressed as they could be here anytime between 8-1, but I'm still really sleepy!

    When I wake up a bit I'm going to dust and get the floor completely clear so I can hoover. Last night I washed up but didn't do any more flying as trying to get this custom order finished. Should be finished early next week I think.
