    I promise I'm not copying CyclingYorkie, but .......... there is no longer anything waiting to be ironed on the stool. Not so much as a stray ribbon. :T

    There may be a bag upstairs but that's been there so long I may need to investigate whether anyone would notice it going missing!!

    Now I just need to put it away so I start tomorrow all organised. Well, on the ironing front at least!

    Sausages are defrosting for tomorrows lunch, with some mash, onion gravy and garden peas.

    Pudding done earlier, slobbing in front of TV. Master & Commander (again).

    Cuppa anyone ?

    We give you a tree :xmastree: and our lovely Toots adds you to the list and you start to 'fly'

    It all relates very loosely back to an american site but really don't go there (yes I know you are typing it into google already - you'll regret it :D)

    Welcome and good luck.

    New week starts on a Monday.
    Probably get shot for saying it, but I would join in then:D
    Lists look daunting but once you start they are not really;)
    Aim for a level 1 on everyday and work up, unless you want to be a showoff teachers pet like me:rotfl:

    and :hello: and welcome to the nutty place:A

    Morning Jue and anyone else up stupidly early on a Sunday.:wave:

    Why does it happen - it's the weekend and I'm wide awake at 6.30am. Weekdays I can hardly lift my head off the pillow when the alarm goes off a 7am :think:

    I did get a couple of hours ironing done yesterday when DH and the boys were watching the flootball. DS2 is still quite under the weather but is desperate to come to Orient today to watch them take on Arsenal in the FA cup. I will dose him to the gills with pills as matches like this only come up every 5 years or so. I'm also heading to Leyton to watch the match a very rare treat for me. DS3 and DD2 are being looked after by a family who's DH works for Arsenal.:rotfl:

    DS3 is up and is watching tv in the LR. I'm going to do some more ironing as the airer and radiatiors have done their job and it's a bigger pile than before :(. I must get on top of it or nobody will have enough clothes to get through half term. On a smug note I have done all the school stuff and it's not needed for another week:D

    Fantastic news Ubamother.

    Pooh glad your son is getting sorted out.

    CY I want to be like you (ironing wise)

    Valli I'm impressed! Way to go girl!

    DS3 wants food so I'll be back later

    lol that's the first thing that I generally do if I don't know/recognise something :rotfl: but I can honestly say I never googled flylady (no idea why not!!)

    That would be us then! Although we have an excuse as we are leaving here in little over an hour for our trip :D I have a list of things to check off before we go.

    We might get chance to pop in during the week it depends on what we get up to.
