    Morning All

    Hehe I'm loving this, my house is looking a little better already :T - and I managed Level 1 yesterday toots...well, most of it.

    Wednesday - Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level 1
    Check smoke alarms are working Done. Note to self - next time warn DS that I'm going to do it....scraped DS off ceiling...
    Remove and wash bed linen and duvet covers. Removed, turned mattress and remade bed. Will wash bedding at weekend.
    Fling open the window and let in the boiling hotness ....lukewarm wetness actually, but opened them anyway


    I also removed bed linen, turned mattress and remade DS's bed with Stig bedding that Santa brought. DS is starting to look really puzzled now hehe.

    Sink/draining board/cooker top still clear. (I have used stuff, but keep washing up afterwards...it's a habit that I'm trying to acquire.)

    Texted a friend and told her what I'd done since I arrived home from work and she texted back (quote)..'bloody ell r u alright?'...so phoned her and acquainted her with flylady :).

    At work today again til 5pm. Was planning to have HH clearing gubbins from study floor tonight, but that seems daft when downstairs needs so much TLC - so will clear dining room table in lieu...believe me toots that's not the easy option :o

    Big hugs to you all xx

    Another blue bin of clothes folded, just need to but it away now. :D
    The sun has come out to play so washing line nearly full of stuff, i just hope it doesn't rain.

    DS2 now up and about, he's still very pale but hopefully he'll be ok.

    Right best get clothes put away and DS3 feed.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Thanks LW (and Toots, too), but I'm not sure I am! I know I can write the lecture itself, time permitting, but I have this terrible fear of talking in public because the first thing that happens is I go bright tomato red disapproval.gif. And then all I can think of is how silly hahaha.gif I must look.... and I start gabbling too fast ranting.gif, and waving my hands around eccentrically...pinkie.gifand then I feel a complete plonker afterwards. :o

    Which for someone who works in Psychology is really tough - I mean - I even know all the theory on this stuff but it doesn't help a bit... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Definitely worrying too much Missy. I went to a conference just recently and the first speaker did the tomato red thing, coupled with a very dry mouth, which I did notice and sympathise with, but her talk was so interesting and informative that I just admired her for overcoming her obvious nerves and managing to get her point across so well. Hope that helps? :) Plus I find practising helps me especially if you record it and play it back :eek:.

    Hugs to LW, Carlsberggal and Toots, all of you should be a bit kinder to yourselves :A.

    Piggers, hope things are calmer in your house now.

    Off to do something useful and fluttering...
