    OK,
    I'm back, toilet fixed, complete with new carpet ! Managed to get a suitable offcut for £3.50 in a dark red.:cool:

    But... when I was cutting it to fit I managed to slice my thumb.:eek:

    good job I bought a red carpet:o


    Please can I have some time off?? coz I've now got a "dolly" on my thumb and it leaks everytime I pick something up.

    Yet to do from todays list-
    Clean detergent drawer
    wash windows-did them the end of last week.
    Collect/ sell/bin 10 things-can't do this as I'm a bit of a hoarder I'm afraid-I'll never be a true flylady, however did get rid of at least 10 things from the very yucky fridge. Fridge was so bad I'm surprised we've not been ill!!
    HHI-just about to start.

    Have also tidied(how does a 5 year old manage to make so much mess!??) the front room and hall and vaccumned them. Also cleaned the toilet and rehung the shower curtain that I washed yesterday.

    So plan for my afternoon is 1-ironing,-Done and put away!! 2- fold washing and put away,-Whats left in the TD has a cat asleep on it so I'll do it later! 3-remake beds,-Done! 4-prepare chicken in tomato sauce for tea-in the oven, 5-clean washer drawer,-done-what a filthy mess that was!!! 6-remember to collect DD from school after gardening club!!-going in a few minutes!
    Getting started now!

    I'm really pleased with what I've achieved today. Thanks to all for the encouragement belonging to this thread gives me. Don't think my mums going to recognise my house when she comes back from hols!!!

    I did a fair bit of flying yesterday, so hoping as the week goes on I'll be able to cross a bit off the lists .... this week I don't have college on Wednesday, so hoping to get further than my "normal" Tuesdays!!

    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining Area
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe work surfaces
    Sweep and[/STRIKE] mop floor
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Empty and clean out fridge.. use up those almost past their best things and fling anything furry or icky!![/STRIKE]

    3. HHI (Did about 3hrs solid last night, cracked the back of it :) )
    4. Throw away/rehome/sell 10 things from each room in the house!! I did manage to empty the "box of doom" from the bathroom, a job I've been putting off for at least 2yrs, and I lobbed and chucked all those "free" samples which I'm never going to use, the mains charge for the electric toothbrush which I've lost .. the out of date suntan lotions, all those types of things :) (did fit the leftovers into a box half the size :) ).

    Look at post 1 of this thread HHC and most of the other abbreviations are explained there.

    Mudders hoping for a positive outcome for stripes

    Holly hugs

    Natty - I've put a new nut feeder and fat ball on the tree right by the family room/kitchen windows and have loads of blue and great tits visiting. I love the way they fly

    Done a few pottering jobs, like emptying the compost into the wormery and making some scones and cake.

    Just got to get the washing in and then collect DS3 from his badminton club.

    LadyLiberty spoons and love for you, hope the bruising is not too painful x
