    Gosh the morning goes in a rush when I drop the 2 youngest at school. I have to collect DD2 at 12.30 today but have been busy giving the kitchen a blitz and I've cleaned all the downstairs windows including the internal door glass. there is a distinct smell of vinegar so I'd better light a candle for a while.

    DS2 had football practice last night so I now have to do the bathroom again as he seems to have left half the mud from the pitch splattered all over everything.

    DS2's sheets in the WM. I'm really up to date with the washing. Wish I could say the same for the ironing:o.

    Sussing out which of my DF's want to see Kylie in April at the 02. The high ticket prices are scaring everyone. I decided that seeing Kylie is one of the things one has to do before one goes to a better place.

    Valli - Sunday's fine for me;)

    Sun is shining through my lovely clean windows (window cleaner has done the outside :D:D:D.
  • I've done loads this morning :j but there is loads needs doing as this is my first day off after the summer hols ;) Will have lunch (one of my girlie's soft-boiled eggs :) ) and then start upstairs. I'm determined to reward myself with some sewing :T

    Hi all well i haven't kept up with lists at all. Just been doing lots of dot to dotting. But the house is reasonably clean so its all good. Don't change the bedding as it has all been done. Kids just need to hoover /dust and there's are done.
    Ours has paperwork in it but i've been told to rest has i managed to sprain my broken knee so spent 3 hours in a & e yesterday being xrayed. How fun.

    So i'm out of the flylady run about, for at least two weeks, so instead just going to try and do the lists. If that's all okay with you?

    Hope your all well x

    Hello, fellow Flyers.:wave:
    Will see how things go tomorrow - meanwhile hugs for LameWolf who bears so much pain so bravely all the time (glad you survived the hospital trip relatively unscathed)
    *wipes away a wee tear* Aww, thanks - I don't think of myself as particularly brave.:o I hope your poor, bruised bod isn't too sore today. And I still think the cyclist should have at least had the courtesy to apologise.
    oh Bl00dy h3ll. Have done nowt this week.

    5 day list looks scary.

    Am off to bed for nightmares! ;)

    Thurs & Fri shall catch up.

    Thanks again for all the lists Team x

    Lisa x
    Well.... you've not had a terribly good week really, so why not just do the Level 1 stuff, and anything that's in desperate need, and start fresh again next week? (((HUG)))

    After Valli's description, I'm mightily glad AF seems to be leaving me alone these days!:eek:


    Toots Ooh, the leccy wheelchair sounds good; I love my mobility buggy. Although I don't use it a vast amount, it's great for woofer-walking, and it means Mr LW and I can go for a “constitutional” round by the Concrete Cows. I bought one of those metal shed thingies (from Argos IIRC) which lives at the back of the carport, to keep it in, and Mr LW made a ramp to get it in and out more easily.;)

    Nattyt I'm so pleased the keys turned up.:T

    Cally (((HUGS))) I think funerals are always draining, but it's good to say Farewell, iyswim.:o

    Shopaholic to get rid of spiders..... get a Beagle! As a child, we had a Beagle x Staffie, and I used to have to rescue spiders and put them outside before she saw them.:D

    In case I forget to mention it tomorrow...... I'll be in next week, but not on Monday. It'll be our 7th wedding anniversary, Mr LW's taken annual leave, and we'll be going out for the day. I don't want any of you lovely folks worrying that I'm hurt or unwell.;)

    Right, I've finished decluttering my lunch, so back to spider eviction. (Sorry Shopaholic):rotfl:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
