    Hi All :wave:

    Am in again this week (albeit a bit late). Thanks to all at Flylady Central :A. Hope you are all well, welcome to all the newbies, special hugs as always to Lady-L, Toots & Diva.

    I am now wishing I had never opened my mouth about doing my SIL's paperwork, I am sick of the sight of it!!! Only August & September to do and thats it done :T:T

    The plans for decorating mine and DD's bedroom are on hold as we are getting new windows & a new door fitted on 27th (only at the front at the moment, when they are paid we will get others done as its sooooo expensive) so I will wait until that is done and then do the bedrooms. Back to the grindstone at work, see you all later x

    Hubby's appointment now done and he's due back in a fortnight. DD due for flu jab at 4.30. Then all clubs from 6pm on. I would love just one week of no running about, just stay at home and get on with things.

    Did manage to get some filler for the wall (easy way out) so i'll get that put on in abit. :D

    Having my cuppa now and then i'll make a start.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Sockdrawer - thanks for reminding me to plant garlic! We're still eating this years crop and it's delicious.

    I bought mine early this year as I heard there was a "garlic shortage" of planting bulbs. Didn't get it in early enough this year, and it produced small cloves, and a tiny bulb, my own fault for procrastinating!
    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.

    I've been working my way through the kitchen, work tops cleared of rubbish and paper work, DW on the go and second load all ready to go in. Windowsil cleared of bits and bobs, sink being bleached as well. I swear my kitchen is just one big hotspot. :o

    Christmas box now at attic door so it can go up now along with a suitcase. OH can superglue DD's lamp back together. Halloween stuff got today so it can be put in hotpress. Then i'll get the utility room and back hall done.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • Just back in from the garden - it's heaven out there! Lovely temperature for working.

    Must eat now...
