Hello! Today Flylady asks that you spend 15 minutes clearing stuff from your bedroom that doesn't belong there. Things that you n longer see, as they've been there so long.

Morning Flybabes!

Not been around for a few days as DS has been ill and trying to get last minute things done for Chrismas with a small sick child is impossible especially when OH is away! OH returned yesterday evening and DS is much better - he's just built a big train track right through the lounge!

Kscour - hope DD1 is feeling better. It's a nightmare when they are ill and worse when it's close to Xmas.

Hex - are you moving before Christmas? I saw someone moving yesterday with 2 really young kids :eek: good luck

Lynz - sorry lost it a bit - where are you in the whole house selling thing - did you exchange?

Penny & Nicki - AAGOOHIMHO ! :rotfl:

Michelle - seen your avatar - gorgeous

Denise - beautiful kittens. My friend just got kittens calle Charlie & Lola which are cute but also driving her potty - just like small children!

Really looking forward to Christmas. It's DS's 4th as he's 3 and he thinks he's gonna have 3 presents to open on Christmas day :rotfl: slightly as I've wrapped up 20 for him (mostly stocking fillers honest!) and that doesn't include gifts from family. Think I got a bit carried away...

Anyway, not even dresses yet (not very Flylady) just trotting from room to room trying to get them straight / clean for Xmas.

To do:

Dust & Hoover conservatory, lounge, playroom, hall
Hoover kitchen floor & mop
Dust & hoover DS room, bedroom, guest room, office
Strip our bed
One wash & iron
the list goes on...

Punky x

Morning Flybabes,

wish i had a bit more time to post, but it has been all go this week.

All presents apart from a couple of bottle are bought, quite a lot are wrapped, some are even given ready for the day. All cards are gone, including DHs for work,, which is in itself a miracle. Tree's up,food shops done, although i want to buy a pre-cooked ham, and i think we'll need some more milk and mince pies.

I have a new outfit for the big day, and have had a new haircut. At the minute it looks like posh's bob because it is straightened. I'm dead pleased with it as my sisters mate did it and it only cost £10, and my sister paid for it as a treat. How fab is that.

This week, we've also had Charlie for his first jabs, and we had to visit my aunty as she will be working (in an old folks home) on the big day, so i went to see her early.

All i need now is a last minute clean and polish on Sunday to deal with crud that the cats trail in. Denise what gorgeous kitties. You do realise they will demolish the tree next year too, or is that just my two??

I have the usual washing and ironing mountains, but i am just going to close the door to the spare room and ignore what isn't dealt with, then we will be visiting rellies inbetween xmas and new year, so i am sure i can forget about it.

You all seem to be nearly there too by the sounds of it. I want to be even more organised for next year, but oh - well.

Have a lovely xmas folks if i don't get back between now and then, and with my grizzly baby, i never know when my next visit will be.

Love Michelle, xx
