Afternoon, i have been AWOL for a bit and will probably only be lurking for the next few months.
Am on a big clean at the moment doing all the stuff i can before i go back to uni on monday.
As well as plastering a wall and laying a floor. Shouldnt take me long:p

Hi, welcome back
Don't remember seeing that on pigpen's lists:p

Well I haven't got near the official list but

Plus
Phone clinic about unexpected appointment - SORTED
Chase roofer - Sent email - got one back :eek:- accepted - now just waiting for a start date.

Still windy but the sun is shining so think I had better finish tidying the mess from the greenhouse accident.
Sort finances (when I feel stronger)

Where has the day gone?

DS1 popped home for lunch so not an entirely empty house for the day.

I've done loads, but not off my list. Going to have a cuppa now though before school pickup. No clubs etc on Monday so can carry on when I get it - no idea what I can do for dinner.

but extra bits that I did were:
Hang one load of washing out - now two loads of washing
Put another load of washing on - now two loads of washing put in washing machine
Fed Chicks
Fed all the chickens
Fill out all school holidays on calendar
Printed out some posters

Thing still to do are:
Get washing in from line
Put second load of washing out on line
Take DD3 to doctors
Pick up kids from school
Buy some more chicken food

On a plus note, I have managed to sell a couple of chickens which means I can use the money to buy more chicken food.

I feel like I haven't got very far with the official list but it is better than not doing anything at all which is what I normally do. Off to clear up the kitchen for 15 minutes before going to pick kids up.

Hi ... just poking my head around the door to let you know I'm still alive .... just

I have had a rough few weeks & it's really bought it home to me how quickly I have deteriorated over the last few months but I'm tough & I'm not prepared to let the "Dragon" get me just yet .....

Thanks as usual to all the wonderful friends I have made on here for your constant love, support, prayers, messages etc. etc. :A :A I really couldn't get thru without you sometimes xxx

I haven't read anything I'm afraid, so love, congrats etc as appropriate .... I shall go & sleep for a couple more weeks now

Hugs to all

Yikes!

I think you all must have immaculate homes. My 'Gibble' box has been filled from dining table, side board, fire surround - not entirely sure what I am going to do with all though.

Oh and also have a bookcase in my hall which looks like its holding 3x more books than its designed for.

Already feeling a bit overwhelmed so going to sort out some music i think, see if that helps!

Panic not, we were all new Flyladies once, don't forget. You'll be surprised how quickly you make progress, if you just take baby steps.:o

Everything on today's list is either done or scheduled for later, and I've spent some quality time in the back garden with the woofers, which we all enjoyed.
