    Morning All :wave:

    I am in again this week, thanks to all at Flylady Central.

    Car boot was ok yesterday although it was a very high wind and heavy rain at times, we were back home by 1.30 pm but DD raised £13 :o towards her DSi fund, I am going to put the stuff of hers that never sold on e-bay to try and boost her funds.:D We were away at 6.30am yesterday, so a long day, I was sleeping by 9 last night!!

    We are away this weekend in the ‘van so am planning to get stuck in although I have been keeping on top of it the last few weeks so shouldn’t be too bad.

    Welcome to the newbies & well done to all the early birds who had an ironing club going on!! I too was doing an HHI at 6.15 (only because I fell asleep so early last night) :o

    Tooch – well done on the phone!
    Valli – Glad your weekend went well with your considerate OH!
    Greenbee – Calm down with the mad cleaning at midnight!!!

    cosmomo slugs we have them all over the house, we can't get rid of them.

    Okay well i did the surface cleaning, couldn't reach the very top without knacking my knee. But i managed to do the dusting so at least i could breathe in there finally. Did the hall floors but not the stairs.

    Thanks for the idea Kazw & Pen Pen but will just let it pass - I would need to think of something special for that post and I cant think of anything - not inportant in the grand scheme of things:rotfl:

    have done emails to the council and my councillor re the garden and phone call to my elec/gas supplier as I am changing.

    Peace will be mine

    Afternoon all

    I'll be joining in with flying but using my own list. I've done the kitchen today and also vacuumed the living room/hallway/stairs. One load of washing out, drying but slowly.

    Hope everyone's OK, I'm going to catch up a bit now while dinner is cooking.

    Afternoon all.

    Firstly, before my vegetable soup of a brain forgets.....

    Happy 21st Birthday to Cally's DS.

    SkintGypsy congratulation on your recent arrival, and a warm welcome to both you and Roundtuit.

    List has been started (well, Mr LW did his weekly hoover of the whole bungalow yesterday, so that kicks it all off:D) but I got sidetracked.... got a letter in today's mail from the Anglian Wolf Society saying they're not going to do a printed newsletter any more, but have set up a 2nd website to post news electronically instead, so I just had to go and have a look.:D

    At last we've had a little rain here. Poor garden was desperate for it. Only thing is, I expect the weeds will have a growth spurt now.

    Got a fairly busy week this week - Mr LW is on earlies tomorrow, so he'll be working from home; we have to go and collect my meds when he finishes, and also go and do a raid on Tesco, then tomorrow night he's taking his mate A for a drink - so Muggins here has to go along to drive the two of them home. Wednesday he's on lates, so will be home when he gets here, iyswim, and Thursday night we have a Mensa meeting to go to which I can't really not attend.

    He's working at the weekend too - not all the time, but Saturday he's got to log in and shut down systems at stoopid o'clock, then wait for text messages to tell him when to restart them/do other stuff. So we can nip out for the F&V run, but we can't "go anywhere" as such, iyswim.

    Right, enough waffle, time to get me fat bum in gear and do some more Flying.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
