    Morning Flybabes! Goodnight Denise!

    A warm welcome to the new Flybabes, 1stTimer, Flis21 & Chubacheroo :wave: :wave: :wave:

    Not been around for a few days as having a completely manic time at the moment - I will never have any home improvement / decorating done this close to Christmas again! And I'm gutted I missed TNG / Flyboy :mad:

    Flis21 - love your signature - let us know the secret to your weight loss please. Weighed myself this morning :eek:

    Kscour - good to have you back.

    Lynz & Hex - hope exchanges / moves are progressing. Lynz - loved your list when waiting for the exchange. It made me :rotfl: and I'm glad you've not lost your sense of humour through all this. BTW I'm on to you and your fresh bread addiction now you're buying breadmakers for all your relatives - we're gonna have to rename you Hovis :D

    Nicki - online game I sometimes treat myself to is here blame MSE Martin as he had a link to a game on this site in one of his newsletters.

    If any of you ever need to get a room REALLY clean have the ceiling replastered - you have to move everything out so can give the room a good clean and all the bits as you put them back - what fun!! :rolleyes:

    Right, must get going...

    Daily:
    [STRIKE]Make beds[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Swish & Swipe ensuite[/STRIKE]
    WM
    TD

    15 mins paper control
    15 mins emails
    Swish & Swipe bathroom

    Wednesday:
    [STRIKE]Empty bins
    Put bins / recycling out[/STRIKE]

    I've been doing 15mins kitchen, 15 mins dining room, 15 mins paperwork. Was supposed to be 15 mins on here, but it's taken me that just to get to this point in the thread 36_1_20.gif

    Need to pop out to the bank, put beans on for chilli, and continue in the kitchen. DH has requested that I clean the cutlerey drawer.

    See you later, Penny. x

    I has just taken me an HOUR to demould the bathroom, hall and stairs, also found some in the usual places in our bedroom so I did that as well. My throat is really sore now so I'm having a break and picking up DD's hair bobbles which are all over the desk :rolleyes::p Off to read the other threads :wave:

    EDIT : Now I've demoulded the kitchen as well :D Need to put the blind back up but I've got dishes soaking in the sink ATM and I don't fancy ending up standing in a bowl of water (which knowing my luck will be what happens!) and I've made a decision : DD is NOT GETTING ANY MORE HAIR BOBBLES :mad: :rotfl: Off to make lunch while I remember to eat :o

  • Having my break for lunch - HM pizza from the freezer, and grapes. I cleaned the cutlery drawer, and found enough crumbs to fashion a substantial rustic loaf :eek: :eek: Other than that:

    Chilli – cooking, beans simmering in Rayburn
    Papers – paid
    Cheque – paid
    Money – paid in
    Dining room bookshelves – tidied and dusted
    Washing – done and on creel

    Off to start the ironing.

    Hi all ! Sink still shiny! Been away with yet another pc crash and this time a bill for £130 .... deep joy!!!

    Any way, big Hi's to all the newbie flybabes and to existing flyers too.

    Just wanted to check in and say hello before the third crash happens ! mmmmmmmmm......

    I have been working loads so very minimum flying and have had little motivation as I haven't been able to check in with you flygang.

    Take it easy everyone and will check in tomorrow and report for duty (touchwood).
