    I'm in again - well, for tomorrow anyway!!
    I am following my own list - something like this ........
    I may actually achieve everything on my list this week :rotfl:

    I'm sure you will. Have a great time.
    DD1 has GONE OUT TO A MATE'S HOUSE THIS EVENING!!!!!!!:j:j:j

    That's really great. I'm sure you'll get used to it after a while. ;)

    I'm in again this week, doing as much as I can from the lists and some major decluttering, while trying to keep DS2 entertained. Thank you to Flylady Central Command for the thread.

    Since my last post I had a nap (the day after the night before :o), tidied part of the back yard, brought the washing in, made corned beef hash with dumplings/rhubarb crumble with custard and visited a friend. The kitchen now looks like a bomb's dropped and I've got a serious case of CBA. Might need to go back to QHC (quarter hour challenges) so I at least make a start on it tonight. I'll sort my list for tomorrow and then get on with it.
  • Thanks for the thread again team

    Did all my list again today so feeling smug
    All again next week I guess:)
