I'm in!! Thanks to all at FCC. Welcome to Sagaris

busy w/e here.. MIL has been here. She & DH have gone now. That woman does not lift a finger!!!:mad:

actually that's not strictly true, she's stripped her bed, which is something, but honestly nothing else. Am soo tired.. bed early I think!! In my best Scarlet voice "tomorrow is another day"

Are you sure she didn't take off your sheets and put her own on and has taken them home again?

I'm in. Hoping this week will be a bit easier as I didn't stop all last week. Used today to get on top of ironing and mending so I am ready to go tomorrow:D. Kitchen day it is.

Hugs and spoons.

Sagaris my house used to be an absolute tip, would not have anyone over and dreaded unanounced visitors, but now if someone walked in the door i wouldnt be ashamed to show them my house (well just dont look in the kitchen as thats a mess from dinner) but flylady has got me mega organised and into a routine, its amazing and money saving since i no longer want to pay for a cleaner :money:

right well im going to get off my behind and go and pack then make a start on the kitchen, so tomorrow i can whizz round everthing else on my list.

Hi, well what a productive day, done loads with lots of help from the family.

So today myself and hubby have moved ourselves into the other newly decorated bedroom. This has involved lots of furniture moving and bed dismantling which hubby did most of.

It looks lovely and cosy in there, with new carpet and everything tidy.:D

Triker :T:T:T:T:j:j:j:j:j well done everyone - thats what you have been needing for ages - a new bedroom - a haven for you on bad days - I am very pleased for you I hope you havent over done it today and feel poorly this week but then again you will be able to lie and rest in your tidy room (((hugs)))
