    Livingroom now all changed about so that the christmas tree will fit in. Under all furniture hoover and whole room dusted, loads of rubbish now gone or moved back to proper places. :j

    Next i think will be bathroom, need to get all beds stripped and washed as well.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Hi all, need to get out of bed, had terrible stomach ache last night and this morning, starting to feel a little better so will get up in a mo and do a HHC.





    Lovely idea Natty, I don't send christmas cards any more so will pass on your lovely gesture but I know this part of the flylady year is very important and special to a lot of regular flyladies so thanks again for organising it.:T:kisses3:

    Today I mainly have to parcel and post some ebay stuff, buy some more envelopes, collect DD2 from her school trip.....oh and sort out the house.

    New bedroom...reasonable

    DD2's ...pitsville

    Dining room...pitsville

    Kitchen....semi pitsville

    other bedroom...ok as being decorated

    Bathroom...so far no leaking ceiling but we need a real downpour to test the latest roofing fix to see if its worked.

    If I have the time and inclination I'd also like to start christmas stocking filler shopping.
