Sockdrawer this lists what you can/not take on flights etc..

I've had a squizz at that as just realised we're going skiing in only 2 weeks now and I'd like to be able to take my knitting with me so glad knitting needles are allowed!

I am sorting the boys bedroom. So far I have hit my head on a bunkbed six times :cool:

One large pile of washing (and I don't need to buy DS1 more socks so that can go off the list), one black bag of paper and wrappers :mad: and some furniture removed. Needs at least another HHC so am going to have a quick cup of tea and then start again at 1pm

I also removed a pile of baby books that have been put out for recycling before and obviously sneaked back in. No idea where they get that sort of behaviour from.....

We still got bunk beds for the boys,(they share a large room), so that when DS2 comes home from Uni he has some where to sleep.
When I am tidying or vacuuming I have been known to wear a cycle helmet :eek:, but then I can almost walk under their beds without banging my head. They're the ones with wardrobes at the end of the frame. IYKWIM.

Good afternoon :beer: DH and I drew a blank on our shopping trip (apart from a hand towel reduced by loads and a Lily Flame candle ). We have some John Lewis vouchers and wanted to buy a music player and some cut glasses - nothing that we liked We'll look online, and spend the vouchers at Waitrose :rotfl:

Going to do a mad dash HHC 14:00 - 14:30 if anyone wants to join me :T

Am really impressed by how much you all get done, puts me to shame

So today after walking the hounds, I put my egg timer on for "1 hour" and in that hour I have managed to gut the front room. Including washing the windows wood work and skirting boards .

AND

I now have a file for birthday cards, and birthday/christmas pressie planning

All post is sorted into a file box that I found lurking upstairs, so I now will know where all my car stuff, mortgage stuff etc is. Rather than running around the house madly looking for paper work.

Thanks for all the insperation I have got from you "flyladies" :T

Off to do an hour in the kitchen next :cool:

I'll do my HHYoga while you're doing your HHC; I've been prevaricating, so it'll get me off my bum.:D
