    Hi All

    Just popping in ......

    After all my recent scans .... I have made the decision not to have any more "active" treatment ...... so I am going to make the most of every day .... if it's a good one I will do what I can & make the most of it, if it's a bad one it will pass ...... so I may [STRIKE]jump[/STRIKE] Ok .... hobble back onto the fly-wagon occasionally :D

    I have my ticket again to go to Glastonbury Festival this year ..... so I'm determined to save my spoons & make the most of that .... like last year I will be using the disabled facilities ..... but I'm going to need mega flylady vibes for no rain, so I can get my wheelchair across the fields :rotfl: :rotfl:

    After a quick catch up I see :

    Congrats are in order for Newlywed hope the job goes well :D

    GnB Fingers crossed for your results ... feel better soon x

    Soappie How exciting .... yes I remember you being on the "list" for chickens :D & Onestep congrats on already getting yours!

    Mudders :hello: Hi hun .... a caravan & a boat ..ooo er :p hope poorly DS is better soon ..... it isn't his old problem is it?

    toots Hello Sweetie ..... hope you had a nice trip out today ... take it easy .... lots of love xx

    Triker I hope you are pacing yourself :p:D

    Someone Tooch?? asked about Rose yes, I've heard from her she is just very busy .....

    Ruth How lovely to see you back .... I have thought of you often x

    To my "support group" :A :A of lovely flyers who are reading or indisposed at the moment ;):p love you all & thanks as usual xx

    LL - such a tough decision but here's hoping for many days where you can live to the max! I'll be sending fairy dust a plenty to get you to glastonbury ... I only hope you don't get your chair stuck in a drift of fairy dust!!! Big, big hugs and scary kisses (mwah mwah mwahs!!!:rotfl:) DS has a virus not his kidneys so that's good - well, he does have his kidneys, obviously, but they're not causing him problems!!!)

    I've done all I can for today; only thing that got left was the kitchen window, which tbh, isn't really in need of doing, as Mr LW gave it a very good clean last time.

    Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces Done
    Empty the cutlery drawer.. clean it out, wash the cutlery tray, chuck those baby spoons you don't use any more.. how many medicine spoons do you actually need? get rid of everything you don't use and make the drawer look nice again! Done – cheers Pigpen; it did need it!;)
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop floors Done (Mr LW)
    Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there! Done (froze some stuff that won't keep while we're away)
    Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary) Done – table + trolley
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round Done (and spiders duly evicted..... again!)
    Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc Done
    Clean fridge and see what needs using first Done
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards.. Done as best I can.
    Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer and dishwasher filters need to be done too!! WM/TD done at weekend by Mr LW; no DW.

    Extras

    1. Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
    2. Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk! Done
    3. Clean oven if it really needs it.. or just do the hob.. mines gross.. you need to shame me into cleaning it! Hob done; MW done; oven hasn't really been used much since last time, (just bread rolls and biscuits) so it's still lovely and clean!
    4. HHI .. bit of a catch up!! HHWii instead


    As we've all cleared out our cutlery drawers today, can I suggest that we all send our excess spoons to LadyL.:D Have a wonderful time at Glastonbury; I shall hide my Rainmaker so that Mr LW doesn't do any rain dances!:D
