    Cat My labrador Mac loves carrots! His favourite treat! He's very silly when he eats them, lies on his front with a carrot folded between his paws and crunches it loudly!

  • Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining room

    Level Three
    Clean oven
    Clear window sills of gibble!
    Tuesday ~ Living room, Hallway, Stairs

    DONE!!!:T

    I've just had my first morning of following the Flylady list properly and am gobsmacked at how much I've accomplished in just a couple of hours of following a list rather than flitting about. Unfortunately I have to go to work now, but OH has just phoned to say he won't be in til 10.30pm so will have time to clear the window sills and maybe clean the oven then, just so I can say I have finished the list.
    And the best bit is, my house looks AMAZING!!! I have never seen it so clean and tidy, even when it was on the market!! So THANK YOU!!!:D
