Okay, okay, I've defrosted the freezer.*rolleyes* I felt guilty after I'd posted, so I thought I'd better go and do it.
Got tomorrow's list, ta muchly - lucky for me I did the PC maintenance stuff today, because Mr LW is working from home again tomorrow.;)
I think he wants to either a) go down the pub or b) play a Wii game now, so I'd better go and look enthusiastic.
See ya tomorrow!:DIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Thanks folks for the welcomes.
Just joining did me good! This morning - no time to look at laptop - just knowing I had committed made me get the vac out and do the whole ground floor, also wash the kitchen floor!
I like the sound of the HHC, and will try it tomorrow at 9.30 am.
And I did shine the sink!
By the way, for those of you who wondered, my DH has dementia, and has really gone downhill over the past month. I have been his 24/7 carer for quite a while. For the past few months we've had an hour's cleaning provided per week through the council, which kept me on the straight and narrow, but that has gone now he's in hosp, and without it I've let things slide.
But, Flylady may be just what I need!Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!0 -

Welcome Winchelsea and well done on a productive day. Sorry to hear that your DH is not doing so well at the moment. You will find that they are a wonderfully supportive bunch on here.
I work term times so tend to do really well at keeping up with the lists during the holidays, then descend into slovenliness(sp!) during term time. Having the lists and the HHC challenges helps to keep me on track though.
Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j0 -
