Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Level One
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
wipe over light shades
Level Two
Wipe dining table..
(Plus 2 days worth of pots - oops washed and dried)
Also good deeds: went to see Grandma at the home and made a card for my sister's birthday on Thursday - went a bit OTT with the glue but hopefully will look ok when dry!

Was a bit tense today as at work have sat in another department that I work with as part of my job for a day (in order to improve relationships which have been a bit so-so recently) went ok but felt a bit uprooted and couldn't turn light on directly over me as it reflected off someone's keyboard mpfdmppff!?!?!

Also am quite excited as I'm joining a book group at the local library. Any flyladies with any experience of what I can expect? Raight looking forward to it!

Take care all, Valli thanks for the laught about the 'inge!

MrsMH - have recently cleaned mine with some caustic oven cleaner called Kleen Off by Jeyes. (Cheap in Wilko) It's a bit nasty (don't breathe in when spraying and wear gloves etc) but did get my oven quite clean after being well neglected!

You're slacking. I made it my mission years ago to never allow myself to be seen actually doing anything resembling work. They would either find the tasks mysteriously already completed when they went to complain about my inactivity or I would fiendishly convince them that I was having fun at their expense.

I agree with you completely... if I'm spotted in the office at all, I'm usually in the coffee shop or stopping off to chat with someone who other people consider unimportant ... I know ALL the gossip ... and when people decide I must be slacking so chase for something I point out that it's already been done ... not my fault they didn't spot it when it was in review... they should have been quicker...

No flying done today... not much work either apparently... but two articles FINALLY made it out of editing (I did wonder whether my editors had died and no one had told me) and have been published....need to shift three more through the process and get some more written to keep up momentum! If I can get ahead now, I'll actually have time to write my presentations next month...

Well, that didnt take long - but in my defence pigpen had tied me to the chair leg last night, so I couldnt move to do anything!

........................ You are not letting me get away with that, darn!

Truth is I had a busy day with MIL shopping/cardiac nurse, and I was wacked in the 1 hour I had off in the middle, so I didnt manage to do anything. I am back home after about 11 tomorrow, and have some energy so will catch up on the level ones up to now. I am such a slovern that I havent even made the beds. No point now I am going to get into it!

Thanks for missing me toots, I got a bit upset with the events which were going on here at the time, and I had to get my head straight before I could restart. The sad thing is that I prob havent done any housework since I left (oops) except washing and even that hasnt been terribly well organised. Still, I am concentrating on little steps and trying to rebuild some kind of routine. I am sure I will get there, and I did miss the thread whilst I was gone.

night everyone Lilo

Morning All

I'm late this morning - DH managed to wake DD when he left at 3.30 this morning so she woke me up and got in bed with me - I was still awake at 5 then DS woke me up at 6 and we got up at 6.30 - me with a banging headache!

So far I've done nothing but get dressed but I'm going to amke a start in a minute by putting dishes away and then washing some more. I also want to hoover the LR before I go to work.

Have a good day all

Hugs
