Friday ~ Everything else!
done (although more than half of the list did not need done, so not done!) minus extras

On my own things I still need to do more washing, hang up, sort finances book.

It looks like I have been busy (or cheated) but it seems, despite being away from Flylady, I have managed to keep things clean and organised enough!
Of course the house is not perfect but it is at the standard we are happy with.
Back also sore so not doing un-needed things.
Hope all are well and see you next week x



ETA Just saw this: big hugs to you, take it easy

had some sad news - no flying today.
Scan says it's in there, it's the right dates, right size, but it's got no heart beat. Just have to wait for it to pass now.

Toots - can you take off me (p) for passenger please, looks like I'm flying solo again.

I'm so sorry.. I've had some losses too, so know some of what you're feeling. Be gentle with yourself ((hugs))

Mumto5

Helen I'm sorry for your loss x

Paulie's Nixie So sad x

Pen Pen - thank you for my lovely cake!

My lovely birthday ended on a bum note. DS2 had a stone thrown at him by a little !!!!!!. It hit his ear and he couldn't walk without falling over so I spent the evening in A & E. We didn't go out for my birthday meal and I still haven't had an alcoholic drink:(.

DS2 is still very wobbly so is off school today. My BF came to see me and we had a lovely natter.

Kitchen has been hoovered and the hose on the Dyson split again:mad:

Bathrooms clean and sparkling and I removed the gunk in the plug hole.
