    Hi, I am back but flying slowly and carefully.

    I will join you for 15 mins. I don't have many spoons today.

    Morning all - strange one last night; didn't actually manage to get anything done from the Flylady list, though I was plenty-busy bustling about doing things for what seemed like all evening, I'm not sure I actually managed to make much of an impression.

    Tidied a few things about; binned some old stuff and sorted the recycling, rearranged some bits in the kitchen (cupboard under the sink now back to normal!), cooked tea, washed up, put a couple of washes on and sowed a few trays and pots with seeds - ugh, but it all seems like running to keep still, and doing these things isn't making the big inroads into the sh*t-tip that's my house. Or at least, certainly not as fast as I'd like.

    Mind, I am at least doing things - that's the big point of all this, isn't it? I am getting active, making the moves and trying to make my gaff a better place. And to be honest, even being stood up in the kitchen, elbow-deep in suds and scrubbing pans is about ten times better than sitting on my backside watching Big Brother or whatever.........

    Joy of the morning to y'all :)

    I got a bit distracted just then as the postie arrived. However, in my HHC I managed to get all the porcelain, taps, tiles and shower screen scrubbed and shiny.

    I usually do it a bit at a time, but with Mr LW at home today, it's unfair to tell him he can't use the bathroom for a whole 2 hours.:D

    I'm all out of breath now, so will have a time-out, I think.:o

    Poohbear just you take it steady my girl, or you'll have me to answer to!;):o:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
