    Sorry ladies I haven't been able to keep up with the lists, so hugs to everyone who needs them.

    I decided Thursday would be a master bedroom and LR day. So I started with my 'I have been putting this off for ages and its really grotty' job of stripping everything off the bookcases in my room, cleaning bookcases, books and putting back in an order. Well I spent 6 hours on it yesterday (we have a lot of books!!!) and its still not finished. :eek: I didn't even cook tea, OH had to heat one of our emergency meals from freezer. Today I am going to finish it:mad: and locate/order another 2 bookcases to house the piles that sit on top of the other 4 bookcases/desk/boxes under desk... We don't have hotspots in this house more like piles of books in dusty heaps.

    Hugs and spoons for all. x

  • Good morning everyone :beer:

    Spoappie - great to see you back posting; the Force of the Flyladies is always with you, and we can help with crampons and ice axes as necessary :D

    2 jobs for today are dyeing a sheet and towel of DD's purple, and my hair red - need to make sure i don;t muddle them up ;)

    I've heard from DH that he's now in Beijing, so please can I have good weather vibes so that he can land and take off from Schipol tonight, and be home :j I'm really worried that if there's snow there or in Humberside airport he may be diverted and/or delayed :(

    Thanks to the Flyladies, the house looks great - even the dining RoD is respectable :j:j:j

    Have a great day everyone :A

    Morning all.
    Not much done here yesterday evening, ended up playing taxi to all.

    Thank goodness it's friday, appointment this morning, mum's later, painting to do over weekend, santa to see. :rotfl:

    Best get everyone ready and out the door.
    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.

    Morning all

    bit of a house of doom BUT (thanks to HRT) I am now sleeping MUCH better and am full of energy (colder though so the heating is on :rotfl:). I have dries two loads in the TD - because it will freze on the line, so lots of folding has started. I am going to start at the top, as it were, and work down.

    Valli's list

    remove newspaper from bathroom windows
    dust and wipe down in there as necessary
    refit curtain rail and put up old curtains (temporary now,as they're the wrong colour, but necessary for discretion;))
    strip beds
    air beds
    remake beds
    vacuum upstairs
    vacuum stairs
    empty green bin, remove plastic (thank you tiler*rolls eyes*)
    sort out car & boot of, sort out emergency stuff
    kitchen

    (saw a bloke buying ALL the cheap kitty litter in Mr Ms last night - two trolley's full - how selfish! I have a housebound kitty...)
