1 very productive weekend. can't wait to get back into it tomorrow as i'm starting to feel excited.

Isn't it wierd! I feel just the same. When I looked around my tidy house last night, I was so pleased I'd started this Flying lark.

I'm sure it was more than a warm glow from mulled wine and mince pies from a party over the road

Up bright and early this moring, raring to go and get it really clean, too! If you'd told me last year that I'd be like this, I'd have thought I was going barmy.

Punky - my avator is a piccie of charlie. don't know how you set it up to see them all, but i think you can see it if you click on my name and look at my profile, unless someone more techie can tell you better.

Punky, can you see anyone's avatar, or is only Michelle's missing?

If you can't see anyone's you need to change your settings.

1. up to the top of the page, select User CP (just under thread title)

2. left hand side, select Update options (or something like that, with options in the title)

3. scroll down until you get a box with show avatars. Click in the box, which should then show a tick

4. if that doesn't work, PM me and I'll have another look.

GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING FLYEEEERS!!!!! *Robin Williams Style* :j:hello::xmassign:

What a beautiful morning it is too... I've been awake since 6.15 but didn't get out of bed until 6.50 and I feel GGGGRrreeeeaaaaat :rotfl: Before you think anything smutty, OH was up and on the computer at 6am

Looking forward to a week of wrapping pressies, keeping on top of the cleaning and praying my fridge-freezer doesn't decide to die on me after the noises it was making this morning :shhh:

So my daily list for the week is :

• KBBD
• Laundry (1 a day, except today I'll do 2 as I have towels to wash)
• Evening meal planning - OH is out on his staff nightout tonight at Pizza hut (paid for with a voucher from pigsback ) so DD and I are having shop bought vegetable pizza and cheesy garlic bread as a treat :drool:
• Check Bank account (praying that I don't go overdrawn and OH's transfer to me clears on Friday or the rent SO might bounce )
  

Monday / Wednesday / Friday

• Bleach mould
• Salt pots to be checked and changed as necessary
• Hoover/ mop floors as appropriate

Weeks List - Non Christmas

• Ironing
• Clean Fridge
• Defrost freezer
• Monthly shop
• Charity Run
• Clean windows
• Clean Brass
• Post ebay items
• Shredding

Christmas Related :

• Work on SIL Pressie
• Journal Jar questions for grandad-in-law
• Wrap pressies
  • OH
  • DD
  • Liverpool
  • IL's
• Bake Prune cake x 2

Today I'm concentrating on sorting out SIL's pressies as she's coming this week to collect DD and I don't want her seeing her pressie :eek: I'm nearly done. I've worked my way though to the W of the cleaning in the Mega Index just have the recipes etc to go!

So far I have made packed lunches for OH and DD, put brekkie out for DD and myself, and put a wash load in the machine which is amazing for this time of the morning. ATM DD is writing out her last Christmas Card (to her uncle) and I've nearly finished my brekkie so I'll be able to go up and sort out the beds and washing while she gets ready upstairs :j Leaving me post school run to pop to the Co-op (need margarine again... I swear someone is eating it by the spoonful in this house! ) and get on with SIL's pressie. After school DD and I will be wrapping OH's Xmas pressies before he comes home and then I might put them under the tree.. it all depends on whether I hoover and mop the floor today or I might leave them until Christmas Eve as usual.

Right, off to chase DD to clean her teeth. :wave:

I've just made up a spray bottle with pure bleach in it...I did label it VERY CLEARLY "BLEACH DO NOT MIX WITH OTHER CLEANERS" just incase OH should decide to actually do some cleaning other than dishes and ironing :rotfl: I've cleaned the mould but had to stop for a break, the bathroom stinks of bleach and I started tasting it so I decided it was time for a break :eek: I'll sort the salt pots out later. They're all full of damp salt so I'm just wondering about putting it in the oven on a low heat to dry it out instead of having to buy new salt every week! :think:

Going to try and get to the end of the Mega Index cleaning section with SIL's pressie. Later :wave:
