    Morning flyers. I'm posting from my hotel in Brighton. I went to see Britains got talent with a DF.

    No flying for me today. Looking forward to a good breakfast followed by train back to London and shopping in Oxford/regents street before attending Market research gig that I am being paid for in Covent Garden

    I should get on the train home at 8pm and dh will collect me from Stansted when he gets DD1 from work.

    To sumarise I decluttered a really good time yesterday and had some much needed time away from loving but demanding family.

    Until tomorrow.....

    Morning All and thanks to flylady central for your sterling work in keeping us all on the flywagon. Sun shining here again this morning. My window boxes are looking a bit frazzled. Time to replace the violas with some of the plants I got from Thompson & morgan last week.
    My class teacher is being observed this morning, so positive vibes for her would be appreciated :).

    Giant spider living behind the corner cupboard in the sitting room :( and I failed to get it with the hoover as it obviously saw me first... so I'll need to blitz the rest of the room moving furniture etc and then decide what else I can do. Otherwise I'll just avoid the room for months :o

    I had one in my first house that used to attack the vacuum cleaner when it saw it coming, it was that big!!:eek:

    I feel itchy just thinking about it. Decluttered a mountain of marking this weekend, and about six loads of washing. Going to get down to some work now...

    Good morning all flyladies! :)

    I am aiming for a better, more consistent week this week. Though unfortunately OH still has no work, so he is "keeping me company" which means I might not get as much done as I would like.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello all, I'm here scrabbling around in the background again this week. The house is reasonable though, just need to tidy, OH has taken to doing housework randomly without me asking, he must be really bored (he hates football and keeps moaning about nothing on TV, personally I'm thinking, stay in England, please :D).

    Thanks as always to the lovely Flylady organisers. Have read bits from the thread and wish everyone well x.

    Why don't you have to vacuum??? That is so unfair... I was killing myself sweeping the bathroom with a dustpan and brush with OH and DD1 stood WATCHING!!!!

    DH was with me at an ENT consultation a few years ago and the doc said that I was to avoid all loud noises in future including concerts, fireworks and HOOVERING and then looked very pointedly at DH and said 'so you'll have to do it'. It worked for a while, then he bought me some ear defenders :(:rotfl:.

    Must fly and actually do something constructive...
