roundtuit

hello everyone:wave:

Today I've had 6 x 15 minutes 'sprees' and I'm able to start the new week with no laundry pile, no washing up mountain, and no recycling gubbins loitering in the kitchen:T

Thankyou to all at Flylady Command - I'm in...and I'm looking forward to having a MADday in the kitchen tomorrow....how sad/wonderful/totally mindblowing is that?

love hugs spoons and prayers to be taken as and when required by you lovely ladies.

Toots that is my carry over from last week - most of it is to be done by the end of the month so not that bad.

WM on
Ironing all done

Woody came into his own earlier. Without upsetting anybody he needed to be put in the compost darlek for a while to do what comes naturally to cats and did a fantastic job!

Bedtime for me and AF see you all tomorrow x

Bibbitybob

I've done lots of eBaying tonight, super chuffed

I'm back at work tomorrow, but count me in. Hoping to keep up again this week and will try to keep posting. Also want to hoover through the upstairs landing and rooms and clean the bathroom down (OH has been doing DIY in there...it's a constant battle to get rid of sawdust and mess!)x

Anyone up for picking Mim and Tiddles up from school at 3pm? My mother just refused to have them! She was my absolute last resort.. we can't take them as they don't all fit in the car!!! See why I NEVER ask my mother too look after them? Last time she had them was when they were all asleep in bed 10pm-1am when I went to hospital to have DS3 who is now... 11.5!!!!!! Before that it was when I took DS2 for his 6 weeks check.. he is 15 in January!! I don't know what to do now.. I'm going to have to cancel and reschedule it for during school time I think.

Hi, in again - thanks to FCC

Happy anniversary for tomorrow Lamewolf, I hope you have a wonderful day and you enjoy your meal on Tuesday - sod the flying, save your spoons for a good time instead! Soappie sounds like you are doing the work of 3 men - take it easy!

Well done to Woody dustykitten - glad nature has taken its course!

msgnomey - 20 lengths!!! You go girl - Id be lucky to do 20 strokes these days!

Bibbitybob - well done on the Ebaying - are we going to see the finished article of your union jack bureau soon on the Shabby Chic forum, I keep looking out for it, it is so lush

roundtuit, what a successful day you have achieved a lot.

Toots, it better not be a long list, or we will come and delete half of it!!

Well, hubby has been busy today, and has brushed and scrubbed the floors in the kitchen and conservatory, power washed the drain to clear the blockage (cess pit) cut the grass and generally cleared the garden. Me? I had a lay in, shared his breakfast in Weatherspoons, sat in the car while he scrumped a carrier bag of apples, and did a little bit of weeding in the garden. Oh, I did cook dinner so wasnt a total dead loss! Actually for me I did quite a lot, did more in the garden than I should and am paying for it now! Still, the garden looks much better, the patio has been cleared off and organised and is getting readier for winter.

Plan is to start decluttering over the week, we have agreed on a couple of areas that definately need to be sorted - cupboard under stairs and clear out the bureau. This should mean that we can store all the day to day stuff in the cupboard so it doesnt clutter up the kitchen and conservatory making both much tidier. And also, it means we can collect up all the paperwork from round the house and get them sorted and filed all together. (Bureau is currently Ohs glory hole)

Anyway, off to beddy byes, another day tomorrow - lilo

Pigpen, cross posted - hope you sort out your problem! Cancelling seems the only way forward unless you strap them to the roof or have them roller-skate behind the car! Good luck!

piggers after school club??? your sister? OH drops you at the hospital and then gets the others? ASk DD1, DS1 or GF to finish early (just this once) - it important to get the scan done.Any of the Mums who would have them or neighbours or friends? Phone the hospital and try to get an earlier/later slot? Dont give up - there must be a way!

I am soooooooooooooooooooooo hacked off - I really got my act together and got photos done for the free listing - put some stuff on last night - once the new fred was up i went over to ebay and it just keeps asking me to sign ih but I am already but as soon as i strat to sell it keeps going back to the sign in page so i have missed the free listing - I have emailed them but there is no-one on duty on a sunday so i wont here anything until tomorrow or maybe tuesday - I am gutted - i could cry!
