  • i need to ask a bit of a silly question. what is a flordrobe when its bedroom cleaning time. is it the floor where all your clothes end up or is it the bottom of the wardrobe where all your clothes end up depending on what type of person you are?

    this gets me a bit confused each time the bedroom list is published.

    thanks
    Strictly it;s the floor where your clothes end up, but in the spirit ofFlylady, if yours end up in the bottom of your wardrobe, then that should be your floordrobe :)

    Done lots in the garden, before the thunderstorm :eek: so plenty to do inside tomorrow. Both childies are out, so no worries there :D

    Off to choir soon, then to the pub - thirsty work singing :beer:

    Big hugs and everything is going perfectly vibes for Rach xxxx
    Big hugs and spotty licks for tootles xxxx
    Big hugs of fairy dust LL xxxx
    Big hugs everyone else!!!!

    In the spirit of things my car has joined in and decluttered it's exhaust. Only the back box (wish I really knew what that meant, lol) but it meant my purse decluttered itself paying to put it right. Think it's time to start thinking about replacing my little beloved banger as it's starting to declutter £££ a bit too quickly now! Only seems like yesterday that we were replacing DH's car for similar reasons - at least mine didn't go up in smoke!

    Flying has been restricted to clearing up dog sick (elderly dog not spotty - she does this once in a while) and washing/drying clothes. I won't be around over the weekend as i'm meeting a university friend for a weekend of catching up, shopping, eating and the odd glass of wine of two. I can't wait!!!

    Speak soon and looking forward to hearing Rach's news xx

    I want one or should I have two? Don't think my DH would be impressed though. He already thinks I am the mad cat lady! They are gorgeous anyway.....

    All went well at the hosp with DH. I feel as if my life has been on hold this week waiting for today. Finger out now, back to normal (whatever that is?) and some flying! After some pudding of course ...

  • Well looks like I'll be cleaning the bathroom again as while I was dressing the screaming baby DS1 took a massive crap in the bath and smeared it everywhere. I just put baby down in his moses basket still screaming, yanked DS1 out of the bath and wrapped him in a towel while I cleaned it up and decluttered the contents of my stomach while I was at it. Once it was clean I showered him off and put him to bed but the bathroom is a complete mess and the whole house stinks of !!!!!!.

    Need wine.
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy
