*creeps in shamefaced* I'm a flying disgrace, I know.

But...have had almost all of upstairs stripped and waxed (the house I mean, not me!!) and all the rooms are empty...what an opportunity for a declutter!

80 years of accumulated carpets and lino gone *fling*!

Other news, went for 20 week baby scan, and all well, Praise Be! Its a yellow one as couldn't see it's bits.

Sticks hugs and spoons to those in need.

Ummm... am I correct in thinking that flying at a lower altitude is OK when there's a baby on board??

Sounds like you've done enough for the moment simply by getting rid of the 80 years worth of carpet and lino:eek:

I'm not sure the altitude allowable is one shared by submarines:rotfl:
And the carpet was...er...delegated to DH. Wish I hadn't though, he chucked out DD2's Laura Ashley rug with it by mistake:eek:

Have been booted off - and my house reflects that - Can I be reinstated please, pretty please, with bells and knobs on!

Thank you xx Hope everyone is okay, I am afraid not only have I not done housework but have not kept up with fred. I will read back later, but am not making my usual mistake of catching up first and then not having any time for housework!

I have done my dailies, and the washing is churning in the machine. I have checked pps list, and there is only one for Monday, so I am confused, but that seems a good place to start anyway so here goes...

day ~ Kitchen and Dining area
Level One
Sweep and mop the floor
Clear and wipe worksurfaces
Level Two
Wipe fronts of appliances and units
Scrub the oven and grill pan and hob.. soak the burners and knobs so they come up like new
Wipe table and replace cloth if needed
Level Three
Clear and wipe window sills
Clean the oven and hob..
Clean and/or replace all the filters and deterrgent drawers/dispensers.. this includes extractor hoods etc
Extras

1. wash window sills
2. Thoroughly clean out the cupboard with pans and plastic boxes.. if there is no lid fling it!
3. Clean fluff and webs from extractors/vents
4. If you've not already done so make a christmas meal plan, look up recipes etc and plan a trial run of anything new!!.. Write the appropriate shopping list!

Here I go - will report back later.

A yellow baby.. awww what a wonderful expression. :T
You could always relax a bit grateful and just hope that you get an early case of nesting syndrome...:D

Got my cat food sorted out for mum, washed up, dried up and wiped down the kitchen.
Had a quick swish round the bathroom sink, made my bed and eagerly jumped when postie arrived... but my new posh pyjamas for hospital have not come!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

I am really upset tbh as I wanted to try them on and make sure they were nice and loose around the waist so they wont pinch my scars. I cannot help but think it is some kind of omen, maybe I should not go... maybe I am mad :rotfl:.. I think the later is far more likely. I did consider getting a nightie but went for pjs in the end as I had visions of me snoring my head off, legs akimbo scaring all the nurses and other patients on the ward..:rotfl:

Oh well, keep positive eh..:o

Feeling very CBA today.. all these plans of being busy etc and all I want to do is watch women getting overly excited about lipstick on QVC and drink coffee.

I MUST pack my hospital bag but don't want to, kinda putting it off.. I am a big baby lol

Early nesting that's funny!! shysarah good luck.

Whew! Not so bad - sitting room looks so much better, and there's a horrifying amount of dust in my Dyson drum, which was empty when I started.....

NOW, YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AWAY IF YOU CAN'T BEAR THE 'S****R' WORD....All gone?

OK: as I was cleaning round and dusting my light fittings and lampshades, I saw (not for the first time!) all the spider droppings on one of my standard lamp shades - it's the usual silk canvas stretched over a frame, and the spotting is really bad from TBFL (Time Before Fly Ladies) when we used to have hundreds of horrible spiders everywhere (:A not any more:) xxx).

I don't want to wet the shade, as this will make the stain even worse (did this once to remove rook 'splatter' when a bird fell down the chimney and was trapped inside for a few hours, and the lampshade looked dreadful afterwards). Any suggestions from anyone? Thanks
