    Hello FLYbabes & FLYboy. You had me worried, I thought I'd lost you! :D

    Mum has finally gone home so I can get my home back in order.

    Done:
    Beds made
    DW emptied (I love saying that now it's fixed)
    WM emptied
    TD on
    DS taken to preschool wearing red & yellow for CIN
    bake for winter fayre - had to take shortbread straight to pre-school so TNG wouldn't eat it all ;)

    Must do:
    order photo calendars
    IRONING, done some but not enough
    Finish filing from office tidy up - thanks Wendy!

    Welcome Dizzy / Shop-to-drop you could establish a routine that you undertake together when OH has got up - it need only be an hour (one hour house blessing or 4x15 in different rooms perhaps) then you can do something nice together. Perhaps you could break up your things to do into what can be done when he's asleep and what can't.

    Quoting TNG

    "Coming next week - The Flylady Pantry Challenge"

    So do I get a week off?

    Actually, next week is full of Other Stuff: Dr, hospital, chimney sweep (sounds like the makings of a board game, doesn't it?) so I shan't be taking on any challenges.

    Bon weekend a tous.
  • Not much planned for friday as I'm working all day and then driving to Yorkshire for the weekend :D
    If you're quick, you can pop in here for a cuppa and a muffin. I think TNG left a couple ;)

    After yesterday's big kitchen spruce, DS has said he likes it tidy :D Thing is, I tidied a lot of things away, and we can't find the toaster :o

    Sitting down with my afternoon cuppa. Survived 2 presentations to school groups, so can now relax. Was going to go into the garden and chop wood, but it's raining. :mad:

    List for today:
    Wash school uniform
    List Freecycle item - done
    Offer Freecycle items - done
    TMF – done
    Laundry – done and hung on creel
    Sign insurance form – done and posted
    Pay cheque into bank – done
    Issue formal complaint re laptop


    Enjoy your weekend, Flybabes, Flyboy and Flyman!! :D

    You and me both, wendym. Even those with 'utilities' should have to do something, while I put me feet up :D

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I tidied up the emergency fund - she said with dignity. I need to pack the tea pot - the £2 is the one in my purse! I used the rest to pay the butcher for a nice rib of beef.

    I still have half the kitchen and the LR to do. DS1 is still feeling rough and is firmly entrenched on the sofa - not big enough for us both. DS2 is seeing how much mess he can make. How do I get damp play dough out of the carpet without waiting for it to dry and scratch it off? Also need to make a white choc cheesecake and merringue(sp?)roulade for tomorrow, might do a cappuchino cake as well. I like cooking for visitors so I don't mind.
