Ha ha I have outwitted the ironing pile, mwahahaha

valli if you can find radweld in halfords or wherever, try bunging a bit of that in the radiator as a sticking-plaster type measure? Also I'm sure you know all about not taking the radiator cap off when its hot? Good, thought so.

Morning all

Today's list done.

Two loads of washing done, including a throw from the living room, and about half of it is dry and folded. Going up to put it away now.

Hope everyone's OK.

Right! I suppose I had better get started!!!

Going to sort out the garage first because the tip closes at 4! Then I'll make a start on the kitchen, DD asked me to help her sort out her bedroom today but she is still asleep so I may get cracking in the garage first before i wake her up!!

Off I go

Morning (ahem.. afternoon) all!

I'm in again!! Might I make it to Wednesday this week? Who knows - it's like a cleaning version of Russian roulette in this house.

I must say, even though I don't have much staying power past Monday, the house is actually looking a bit better, especially the kitchen.

It's lunchtime though, so nothing for the next half hour..

Back later - have a lovely day everyone.

I think I need to rejoin flylady! I work full time and am a single parent to a high energy 4 year old girl. My house becomes a tip and by the weekend I have to spend or should I say lose a whole day trying to put it right..... just for it to happen again.

I moved house on Saturday and so I have a clean slate, so to speak to work with. All clean and tidy and I just need to try and keep it that way.

I think I'd be best really just sticking with level 1 and maybe a couple of other things from the list or I think I'd get fed up and give up..... I can do this though can I? I really hate missing out a full day that could be spent relaxing and with my daughter because I've let things slide all week.

Welcome back

Hopefully that doesnt look too bad now which will give me some more time to things with fruit (getting fed up with it now) as got more redcurrants, blackcurrants and raspberries plus the blackberries are starting to come in now as well.

Guess I should go and get some fresh air now before I go back

Plan is food shopping on way home
Tea cooking
Shopping away which will mean fridge will get done
and then maybe whats rest of listy

See you later this evening
