    OKay ladies.... I missed out on yesterdays challenge as OH was home but then we had to fix our hot water again anyway :mad: So today...it's drawers & toys! DD loves to help out with the sorting/housework so a little bribery may just get her sorting out her own toys ;) I think I'll include videos/DVDs as well :D.

    Off to the drawers I go :eek:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Morning Flybabes :kisses3:,


    WOW! Thanks guys. Totally unexpected. (I'm sure you only gave me it 'cos I'm of the 'weaker sex':D :D)

    And as for being a flyexpert - NO WAY:naughty: . Still very much in the novice ranks

    OK DS1 has finally emerged from his pit, so I will swizz round the lounge before attempting the toys and games

    Swimming this afternoon......

    Happy flying:j :j

    Hi, Nicki! Great to have you along! Not seen you for a while - last time was that gorgeous pic of your DD doing washing up! She's well on the way to being a domestic godess, and if what you say about her tomboyness continues, she'll have the best of all worlds!

    Will you be posting more pics later?

    DD is now up, so we'll be hitting the toys soon. Have tickets for the theatre later, so looking forward to that.

  • Morning Flyers,

    We in the Watcher household are not rising to the the challenge (shame on us :p ). HOWEVER............

    Yesterday, after lunch, I said to DD2 (9) and DS1 (12) "Right, we're doing bedrooms this afternoon!"
    :eek: :j :eek: :j :eek: :j :eek:

    So armed with bin bags, brooms and buckets we tackled upstairs. My bedroom only needed *ahem* a flick round with a duster (yehright :o - Jumble Central and the ironing pile needs it's own postcode), but the kids bedrooms were a different matter. DS1 has the type of bedroom you need climbing gear and a torch to find your way around. DD2 is a hoarder - 'nuff said.

    The 'Working Together' approach really worked. DS1 has opened his curtains for the first time since I can remember and we actually found the floor in DD2's bedroom :j

    So Flyers, thank you for the inspiration - even though we mere mortals :D;):p can't quite keep up!

    You cannot live as I have lived an not end up like me.

    Oi you lot - please :heart:GIVE BLOOD :heart: - you never know when you and yours might need it back! 67 pints so far.
  • Im up and ready for the challenge of the upstairs, plumber coming at 12 so if i want him to be able to get into the airing cupboard, then thats my first job, everything will just have to go on my bed for now until I sort it out - hopefully we'll be able to get into it tonight. Wish me luck!

    Good luck everyone else enjoy!

    Kids are not impressed though, DD2 is very good, already clearing out her wardrobe. other 2 DD's lazing around watching tele and making me more mess to clear up, why can't they all be the same - helpful, I mean!

    Take care xx
    If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.
