Hi all well this exhaustion has properly taken its grip so the flying is slightly on hold. Though as i have been so good lately it is so much easier to keep everything tidy so house looking good! Will be in properly as soon as back to normal so please leave me on the list!! Hugs etc to all in need. xxxxIf music be the food of love then play on"No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow". ღ ~Maya AngelouDoing it for my kids.

morning all!
DD1's hosp appt went well yesterday - her cyst is still there and has increased in size...so she gets a Gynae referral which she is very pleased about!
After 3 years of stomach pain..and being told 'it's your age' /'it's your periods get used to it!'/'it';s your ME' it's nice to be believed!:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Gosh Dusty! Well done, but do we have to tug our forelocks now and start behaving when you're around?
Well, I think I'm going to spend all day on Governor Dusty's 'naughty chair' today, because I really do have to get on with my research work and so far I have:
* Got DD out to school
* Watched the rescue in Chile
* Written a list
* Decluttered coffee
* Not even got out of my PJs yet
:eek:
Must do 4 hours' research work (have a meeting on Friday); but will also try to do some cleaning. My bedroom is the worst room again - don't know how, but it is soooooo messy, and there's gardening muck on the floor (think it must have been in the hem of DH's trousers last weekend). So if you don't mind, I think I'll anticipate Thurs/Fri and clean that up instead!
My List therefore:
4 hours work1 hourClean own bedroom
2 hours
3 hours
4 hoursTidy and put everything away; clear the floorWrite shopping list for tomorrow
Hoover the roof and curtains/curtain poles
Sticky mitt the surfaces incl keyboards, sidetables, headboards, screens, baskets etc
Hoover the lamp shades and light
Wipe the window sills; tidy the plant
Windolene the mirrors (including hand mirrors)
Wipe the cup rings off the mat
Wipe sticky marks off doors and frames and light switches
Hoover under the bed with nozzle
Hoover the skirting boards and edges with nozzle
Hoover the floor to get the soil up!
Post letter
Take DD to cello lesson
Make bank transfers
Right. On we go. Get up, make coffee againand start work.
Back later

Morning, dropped DS1 at school (rushed around before hand as we all woke up late) then came back and got the bub dressed and fed (he went on the school run with his coat over his PJ's
don't think he minded though teehee). Going to S&S the kitchen now, then taking bub to the docs for injections, then Mr T before picking DS1 up again at 12. Then will tackle lists this afternoon.

Don't be angry, I am just crossing off what doesn't need to be done or what OH has done. Normally I would clean the areas and sort even if they were tidy but if they don't really need doing they are being left until I can fly.

I hope you got some sleep in the end Vanilla, I haven't caught up yet.
I've cleaned the bathroom/toilet today, downloaded a load of updates from Windows, one load of washing out on the line, sulking.
Hope everyone's OK, going to finish reading posts now.
Well done Governor Dusty0
