Hi :wave:
Well, I have had a go at the kitchen. I think I have some sort of half hour limit but I guess it'll get easier/quicker with time anyway. I cleaned the manky mouldy windows which I've been looking at for months, so that's that for a while.
I have also taken DS to a party and (I'm choosing my words carefully) escorted him out again about 15 minutes later. Hmmm.

Vanilla~~ oh dear, re your DD at school today, but good for a place in the other school if that comes off, I think the sooner the better from what you have said. Has theschool said anything about what happened today? it sounds like something has been festerign away for a long while and it is about to boil over.
Shredding done
Recycling stuff out for tomorrow
I have sorted my hand bag out :rotfl::j:D found £1.34 at the bottom if it!! it is also a lot lighter now as well.
adding to Valli's car list:- for me:- tow rope, shovel, extra hi viz warm coat, hat, gloves, emergency biscuits in a plastic container, bottle of water to drink, & 1 more to tip over the screen for when wash bottle freezes (I use an old drinks bottle for this, all this is bearing in mind I drive 800 + miles per week, some weeks, never know what might happen on the motorways or how long you will be stuck there! local trips are not so bad, as park car best you can and walk!)Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

:hello:to all my flylady friends!
Early start, so I was up for delivery - they phoned at 8am, and arrived at 8.30! Garage now full of boxes.
I've been good today and have done the kitchen,livingroom, cloakroom and the hall - all the downstairs.:D
DD has continued with her room - currently emptying the wardrobe and chest of drawers. Her BF is here to help take the furniture outside - it is raining, but pretty much dry right up against the garage door, as there's a decent roof overhang.
I asked DS1 and 2 to start on their room, but came back from town to find one on the PS3 and the other asleep! Lacking motivation I think! They have at least done something.
I feel really sleepy, it's grey and rainy here, and I don't want to do anything - I may do some knitting - lace scarf for DD, hopefully for Christmas.It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -
