    Morning All

    I am in again this week, thanks as always to the Flylady Central who keep the thread/lists going.

    Welcome to the newbies.

    Good luck for those who have exams this week.

    Toots – Have a nice break, although you have probably gone by now, I only just skimmed the thread!

    Doc was pleased with my progress on Friday re the meds so I have to go back in July but before then if am feeling off again. She said if I have a bad day to let it out as the next day will be better J

    I never saw any of the lovely weather at the weekend, gave myself a good kick up the !!!!! and spent 5 hours :eek: in DD’s room, through every drawer and cupboard, totally gutted the room. DS’s room was only 2 hours to gut as he is younger, he has not accumulated as much. Spend 5 hours on Sunday ironing as well as doing the normal washings & S & S, so I can take some off the list, tonight is my room that’s getting gutted as all the car boot boxes are now in my room so I have to clear them temporarily into the toy cupboard until we can have a car boot! So I may do things back to front this week and cross them off as they come around.

    Valli – Hope your date went ok.
    AnW’s – Hope yesterday was not too difficult for you (((Hugs)))
    Mum of 5 – Aww, hope it is piles (although they are bad enough) and nothing more, the poor wee soul.

    Special love and hugs as always to Lady-L, Toots & Diva x

    Good afternoon :) see as promised I am back.....thank you for my welcomes, really does feel like home here

    I've not really done much of the kitchen because I thought I would make the most of DS2s like for putting things in order (another with training day off school) and emptied the downstairs loo which had become a shoe/coat dumping ground. He's helped pair up all of the shoes and organise them :D don't you just love Autism sometimes! Anyway we did that, emptied all of the gloves/hat/scarf gibble into a bag to go into the wardrobe until winter so we've got baskets for sunglasses and caps now. It might not have got the kitchen done but it's much nicer to walk in the house now that is done instead of falling over stuff as you came through the overflowing entrance hall/loo area and now we can use that loo again :D Ahhh that's better

    This afternoon/evening will be the kitchen, DPs also promised to take his car stuff out to the garage so I can get the dining area done too. Also need to do some financial planning stuff, really slacking on it and I've actually got no idea what is in each bank account which is an unheard of for me.

    (((hugs))) for you all x x

    Nikki, I think I remember you joining us when you were pregnant, 11 months is such a lovely age
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Nice to see you back Lil_me:j

    My HHC turned into nearly an hour. I am deep cleaning my kitchen and just spent about half an hour cleaning the extractor unit above my hob:eek: It was GROSS:o Hasnt been properly done for a few years:o Anyway, it is now beautiful:D Also cleaned out my winerack, it is an inbuilt shelving unit so cleaned all the shelves and dejunked the bottom one which is a terrible hotspot. Having a well earned break before i go back;)
