Well I've dusted the bedroom. Skipped the hoovering though and haven't touched the kitchen other than to unstack and restack the dishwasher.

Musn't crash and burn on the first week. Already done much more than usual (hall, bathroom and front room were all rooms OH used to do - I don't mind doing the front room but had been avoiding the rest).

sock-knitter

evening everyone

been a bad day in toots land today - had hosp appt today so had to arrange a 7.30 carer - pick up due 830-900 - 9.20 no sign so i phoned hosp "yes transport has been arranged - it says so on the computer - they are probably delayed" - by 10 I phoned again (appt was at 9.50!) "just let me check again - yes you arranged when you were here 2 weeks ago (yes I did!) oh wait a minute the paperwork is still here - it hasnt been booked but had been updated on the computer" - so no appt - so took myself to Cornhill - got everyone in a tizz because i wasnt meant to be there!!! but it worked out in the end. went to Mr A to hand in a prescription - bought one or 2 treats etc - no card at the till - came home got my card went back and got shopping - fine but knackered then choked having my tea:eek: I think it was a combination of being tired and not swallowing properly and talking to the carer! MY throuat has been irritated a bit tonight but I am ok!
I has taken me ages to catch up and now i have missed my 9pm cut -off!!! oh well not the end of the world.

Graaaaaaaaaaan (((hugs))) honey - of course it not bad to feel thankful it wasnt Danny - pigpen put it perfectly (as always) and stop saying you are being a misery or i will bop you one - you are doing what most of us would do in the same situation - you are worrying thats not misery!!!!
Mumto5 good luck still coming your way for operation no-smoking!!! and bless the little ones - that is so sweet!!!:D
LameWolf hope you enjoyed the champers:T:beer::D
jinky awh honey you were so worried and you never said - well not here anyway - you silly person - we would have tried to support you - I am glad she has had her op and they will soon have her back on her feet - a transfusion would be good for her recovery. (((hugs))) for you both and a load of quick recovery vibes for Gran too xx
longtermlurker doesnt matter who does the list - well done for getting DH involved - keep chipping away and you will soon get things under controland unfortunately pigpen DOES mean the inside too!!!
well done thifty:T:T:T
notso come on petal I have been letting you off for ages with the oven cleaning - its time to be brave and make a start - if only take and hot wet soapy cloth around the door or the base of the oven - dont make yourself do it all at once!!! if you have a bath and have biological washing powder - put all the shelves in to soak overnight - will make them so much easier to clean!! go on make a start - I am very good at nagging!!!!!:rotfl:
jet77 nice to see you again
Buffy thats it - try and do a little - we could expect a post every day to tell us what you have done - would that help????:p:D
sock-knitter you will probably find if they are posting on here then they are probably not doing huge amounts of flying!!!:rotfl: you also have to remember that some of the flyers have been doing this for years so they have things under control and can whizz through the work vert quickly!!!
cosomo glad the wee man's birthday happened after all:D
LadyL :hello: yes I know did but........... !!!! Hope you had a nice time with DS - special love and hugs right back at you sweetie xx
cyclingyorkie hope you feel better soon - UTIs are nasty!
Jenny I think you did the responsible mother thing by staying off - a 12 yo could have got very bored and wandered off or done anything - DH may not have heard him if he had an accident so stop feeling guilty (((hugs)))
macpep how was the 1st trip then?????
AnW'sMum well done with the sales :T*groan* I had better get the finger out!!!

pooh :hello: hello honey - sorry to hear you are still poorly - get cracking the whip at those DSs:D love and hugs xx
soappie hope things are ok with you and yours - are you ready for your holiday?
sb44 per house is fine but if you can manage it in a room then go for it and how often you do it is up to you - we only do it when it appears on the lists that we follow - a lot of us have tried the American site and find it toooooooooooo ....American and over the top!
piggers it would be better to take your time a bit and not put yourself under a whole lot of pressure
polly hope work wasnt as bad as you expected xx
piggers:hello:[STRIKE]what about just papering 1 wall?[/STRIKE] the Zhivago one

Level One

Level Three

I've been avoiding planning...:D I also did a couple of hours on the allotment, replacing one of the paths. There's been areally cold wind here today.

In between times, I've been watching 'my' blackbird chick leaving the nest, and rushing out occasionally when I hear the parents making their warning call, to see if it's a cat. I scared one off yesterday. Last year all the chicks were killed (thrush last year) so I'm trying hard to help out!

I finished my planning this evening, so clear conscience now, and ready for tomorrow. I feel like I've had a holiday, five days off in a row thanks to the Bank Holiday!

Tomorrow there's a twilight INSET, from 4pm to 7pm. I finish at 12.15, so will come home then go back again, but I doubt if I'll have time or energy to be flying tomorrow. I'll catch up on Friday!

Love and hugs.

eta longtermlurker - you cross posted with toots! I would put everything removeable in the bath, on top of an old towel or something so it doesn't scratch the bath, and add a biological washing powder and hot water.Leave for as long as you can, then use a scrubby thingy to get as much off as you can, with more hot water. A soapy cloth for the inside of the oven. If you need something more industrial strength, then I think it's Ovenmate - but another flylady will probably be able to confirm.

ps. Sigh, I suppose I'll have to do mine properly then , instead of a quick wipe round with half closed eyes...

Not with Cif oven cleaner - didn't take half the burnt on stuff off my oven so a waste of time
