Just waiting for my BF to arrive.

Today I have done 2xWM, Kitchen & Bathroom S&S, Swept conservatory floor, confiscated boys game systems (cruel mum).

I bought a new duster thing at the weekend. It is to get behind radiators etc. I tried it out this morning and a huge dust cloud appeared so I will need a second shower later. It also left a mess under the radiator which needed vacuuming. I have 1 clean radiator now

morning all

another lovely bright day here - might try to strip and wash the bed while i can get it outside - its so much easier

AnW'Mum thats good news about the school :T
Mudders you could get their phone number and call them? I would not be agreeing to post after the sale has ended.
Mrs B sorry to hear about your sore feet - make sure you do rest - could you maybe sort through some paperwork/magazines/a drawer of junk/clean the family silver/ sort your makeup/ jewellery etcetc
piggers would one of these bed wetting alarms annoy DD3 enough that she might stop or would it just annoy everyone else? IMHO if she likes being wet then you def need a psych appt. and re DD2 and her hygiene etc could DD1 help keep her in line a bit - maybe she would take more notice of her sister.
asbo thanks for catching up for me:A

Not much on my list for today, except Mr T's

Apparently Gran fell again last night?

Never heard a thing, but then I zonked out within minutes of going to bed. Dont know how she managed to get herself up for a straight, so I dont know whether she is getting confused with her fall yesterday afternoon. BUT she is spending the day in bed :cool:

1Step~ had a bit of a BD attack last night, was just needing some reassurance:o

PS: I did hear somewhere it was International Wheelchair day, so for you wheelies........

Morning campers, I've been a bad flylady I'm afraid. I have been MIA for a couple of days No excuse really, well apart from therapy starting up again. I'm wondering if this is having an effect on me again. Hmm must kick that in touch before the house goes to complete pot!! Poor DH didn't have any clean pj's at the weekend - bear in mind he has 5 pairs - they were all in the laundry basket waiting to be washed..:eek: Thankfully I managed to get a pair washed and dryed for him on Sunday evening, but it shook me up a bit as that is one thing I always try to keep on top of. I even noticed I was down two my last two pairs of undies as well and that is definately not me.. Even if the rest of the house has gone to rack and ruin, I always manage to do the washing. It obviously didn't work this time..lol. It was like I didn't even see I was getting low on stuff.. :eek: Still I am catching up now, washing machine has been on twice a day, and thank gods for a lovely huge airer that takes about two and half wash loads of washing It has been a godsend at the moment!

Car got through it's MOT just!! But it has a recommendation and unfortunately it is going to cost a mega amount to repair, think 3 figures but above six hundred. DH, bless him, has very kindly agreed to sort it out for me as basically I don't have any money like that at all - heck I don't even have £10.00 to my name..lol He's an angel as he paid for my car tax at the same time as the MOT test. I think he was more scared at me having to use his car if my car was unusable..lol I wonder why!!! So my car goes off the road for two days in June to be repaired and new tyres..ugh!! It's so depressing not having my own money, and having to rely on him to support me, seeing as my benefits aren't enough..grr!! I sort of manage monthly on my money, but when it comes to something major I am up the creek without a paddle..

I'm still in my dressing gown at the moment, but have been pottering around doing bits. Am about to head off to the shower and then get dressed. And then tackle my listy Well that's the plan :rotfl:

Hello Ladies

Is it ok to join in here? I did try the daily but its a bit fast moving for me. I like the idea of being on top of everything and organising my week on here
I have read the first page of how the thread works (still a bit confused though...) so do I just write what I would like to achieve on each day? What do the levels mean? (I assume you dont all live in 3 storey houses)
Today would be a great day for me to get started as it is my official cleaning and shopping day.
What I would like to achieve today:

Tuesday
Declutter living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway
Dust living/dining room & hallway
Clean kitchen & cloakroom
Hoover downstairs
Mop kitchen floor
Wash darks, lights and towels
Hoover stairs and landing
Dust bedrooms
Clean bathroom
Hoover upstairs

If I get time:
Ironing

OK in my HHC, I loaded d/w, unloaded w/m did some tidying in the kitchen, got a phone msg from DH and realised nearly went over CC limit (not very MSE!) last month was soo expensive with all the long distance trips and staying in an hotel.

So a little progress. I am not washing DH's trousers until he clears all the carp out of the pockets.
