    Going to tidy the kitchen, make salad, fetch out the remains of my raised pie, and talk to my sourdough starter (see another thread for more details :o).

    DH is in Munich tonight, so if I can wrench the laptop from DD, I'll be back for a proper catch up later :A

    Have decluttered another Wednesday - two more to go until I have a free day (yes, I know I posted that last week as well, but I'm really looking forward to it!)

    DD has washed up and tidied her room, and also the livingroom.

    Also really want to send love and hugs to helenjelly, her Dad - well all the family really- and kazwookie and her OH.

    Love and hugs as always, to all my flylady friends, and especially toots, lady-liberty and lamewolf.

    dusty - I saw that bit about plant websites, fess up, what have you been buying???

    Popping in to say hello :wave:

    Hope you're all keeping well. Mad busy here and also having massive spring clean (again!). House is looking pretty good though a bit more cleaning is in order. Hope to get back doing flylady properly once I've cleared the attic and chucked loads of stuff!

    Look after yourselves

    Nothing yet - research ;) I'm going to plant a sweet almond tree and was comparing varieties/rootstocks/sizes/prices/availability. Emailed a few local nurseries as I wanted to see the tree before buying and a couple have one so I shall go and view them tomorrow or Friday:j

    Also added to my crocus wishlist (which is great for planning plants for the coming year even if you buy them elsewhere ;) Going to ask FiL to order me a Japanese Wineberry for my Birthday :D

    Note to self p 24

    I am flashing through the thread at the moment, not so's I keep up as such but so's I don't plop my feet in it at some point.

    Anyhoo,
    have come in from work and
    emptied WM
    cleaned out my boys, Buzz, Woody and Bullseye the gerbils
    left a solid block of sawdust in there for them to rearrange at their leisure
    cleaned out 1 cat litter tray
    started a WIKI on the VLE

    Evening everyone

    Thank you for all your thoughts - very much appreciated
    Dad is the same as he was yesterday, he has been put onto a Kidney Dialysis machine today - marvellous bit of kit!! Hopefully that will trigger things moving in the right direction but his breathing is still really bad so they will tackle that too once they can sort out all the various infections he has. He slept alot of the day but was able to communicate a bit when he was awake - he has to spell out words on his tummy and we have to decipher them [he's blind] and he can't talk much because of the mask he has to wear to get oxygen and also it k-nackers him to talk.

    Flying - DH has done some washing and drying. I've decided to stay at home tomorrow - DH has the day off now but kiddies are missing me so I'm staying put for the day and then back to the hospital on Friday. DS wants to see Dad so will do that on Friday

    Love and hugs to all and a huge Thank You for your support

    I am posting what is left on the list (still a lot) after my HHC earlier.

    We have a visitor next Wednesday night so I am concentrating on tidying for the end of the week. Monday night will be cleaning upstairs and Tuesday I will do downstairs. Just surface stuff really but it is the kick up the bum that I need.

    My list

    Ironing
    Put suitcases away
    Clear any LR hotspots
    Clear any BR hotspots
    Clear any spare room hotspots
    Put all Christmas presents away

    Wash windows
    Level Two
    Clean doors and door furniture
    Level Three
    Vacuum under furniture you can move without damaging yourself
    Put away the final bits of christmas gibble

    Extras

  • well have spent the evening trying to calm DD2 down - worries about Friday's exam coupled with a friendship issue. The friend concerned (I use the word advisedly) has harangued DD2 all evening over a disagreement - I've seen some of the texts and they are horrible! DD2 is in bits (oh joy) - conveniently this girl now has time to constantly phone/text/message DD2 as her exams have finished!

    DD1 is going down with something - I'm praying it's only a cold, but we were both concious that 2 hospital appointments in the last week might have been tempting fate, especially as we found out yesterday how many patients in the hospital have flu/swine flu!
