Hi Everyone :wave:
Am in this week (a bit late in letting you know) thanks to the Flylady Central for the lists etc and keeping my house in tip top shape. I never logged on after Saturday as from Sunday, I have been mega busy and if I switched on the laptop, I would have ended up being distracted so here is what I have done, a big achievement for me and am pleased with myself!!

Sunday

Ironed until the basket was empty
Cleaned the caravan inside, windows, carpet, the lot
Cleaned & hoovered the car inside and out
Made big roast dinner
The usual dailies.

Monday

Work
Afterwards, more washing, gave DD & DS's room a quick tidy to keep on top of it.

Tuesday

Off work today

Small shop at Mr M
Gutted the Toy cupboard
Sorted out bags/boxes of stuff for car boot
Gutted my bedroom, hoovered and polished it
Washed ensuite
Cleaned all woodwork and polished spindles
Hoovered, tidied & polished DS's room
Made HM Soup x 2 (Carrot & Orange was YUK)
Made HM French Bread Sticks
Made HM chicken curry

All along with the usual dailies, kitchen is reasonable, all rooms are lovely, will give LR the once over on Thursday evening as well as chainging the bedding as we are going away in the caravan for the weekend so I hate leaving a dirty house.
Hope you are all well, will not have time to catch up with thread but hugs to you all and special hugs & love as always to Lady-L, Toots & Diva

Oh and just saw PP;s post, Lady-L, hope you enjoy Glastonbury and it doesn't wear you out too much xxx

Hi all!
I am soooo far behind with the thread again its untrue..sorry..but I have skimmed the last 3-4 pages..
LL - hope you have a wonderful time at Glastonbury.. I shall be wishing plenty of rays of sunshine for you..
I read that someones got some new chickens but I've a head like a sieve & can't for the life of me remember who but thats lovely! I'd really love to have chickens..maybe one day!

I am trying to keep up with the lists a bit but with the weather being so lovely the garden has been taking priority, I've also started swimming a couple of nights a week & been trying to do at least 40 mins on the Wii Active thing most nights in the vain attempt to lose a couple of pounds for my holiday, so my computer time is getting less & less at the mo, but I've not forgotten about you all, it just takes too long to read all the thread so I'm going to continue to dip & and out & keep apologising for not keeping up well enough..

HAS ANYONE SHAMED PIGPEN INTO DOING HER HOB/OVEN???

*****runs to living room to get on with my list to avoid the mules....*****

I said earlier it is already done.. why would I want to clean something that is already sparkly.. is yours?

And when have I said I wasn't done?.. recently?

All seems to be quiet on that front but as I said earlier, it is an extra so I am not doing unless Pigpen does her's...challenge on!!!

And you need to be more polite and when you ask a question look for the reply.. it is the post right after yours... posted 2 minutes after you did..
