    So far this morning I've managed to hoover, dust and deweb the bedroom, moving most of the furniture. I also mopped the floor and washed the skirting boards at the same time. Lampshades have been cleaned with one of those sticky clothes brushes, and the lightbulbs wiped so it should be a bit brighter!

    Bathroom and study bins have been emptied and recycling sorted and put away appropriately. Bed is still covered in stuff from bedroom surfaces, but it'll be dealt with later....

    Welcome to roundtuit.

    I've taken Ds2 to nursery and my car to the garage. I'm now having my 3rd cup of coffee and a lovely peach from OH's neighbours garden before i make a proper start.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Morning all,

    I am in again this week, thanks to all the lovely ladies of the flylady cabinet.

    Hope everyone is ok, sorry, but I used the excellent Toots news approach :o to a quick catch up on you all but sometimes the comments are so intriguing that I had to go and find the orginal post and got sucked in a bit. I've been trying to fly more and read less in preparation for the school holidays.

    Hello to all you newbies, grab a microfibre cloth, some stardrops and some vinegar and get stuck in.:D

    DD is away all week and OH is away until Wed night so it will be much quieter and cleaner round here for a bit. Working this morning and flying this afternoon. Have been doing some serious gardening for the last few weeks but it is all done now :j and looking great.

    Dailies done, WM on and many more to go :(.

    I didn't post recently as i couldn't do any flying and my knee also is really hurting me i need to move about. So cleaning it is. So i didn't think would be allowed to post:o.

    Hi I'm back (just in case you have missed me) - I have been AWOL for a few weeks as things have been crazy, however as I am not working now until Sept I have plenty of time to fly and get my house in some sort of order.

    DD graduation on Friday :T:T, so we had a nice long weekend away revisiting many familiar places as she has been studying in Newcastle where I grew up.She is one of the fortunate ones to have actually secured a job starting Sept. so many of her friends haven't got jobs and don't know what to do.

    Any way I can procrastinate until the cows come home and not get any flying done ... so off I go to see what today will bring. Will report in later which will help keep me on track.

    Bye for now!
