I'll second what greenbee said! Hope you feel better soon juliejim!
Towels already on the line, our bedding is now in WM.
I am breakfasted and all the washing up is done and put away - i did burn the porridge slightly but a 10 min simmer with soda crystals has cleaned the pan so I'm quite happy!
My own list for today includes sorting out tickets for Legally Blonde when it comes to York in August (am delighted - was going to take DD2 to London to see it - this is so much more MSE!) and talking to Waterstones about the arrangements for the Jodie Piccoult booksigning - DD1 wants to go, but as queueing will be involved we will have to take the wheelchair.....
Off to drag some people from their beds....:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -

I understand the flylady principle as I started flylady years ago but couldnt cope with the americanisms. So finding this is a god send as I have got really lazy and need a shove every day etc.
I still am pretty good with the every day bits and the shopping washing and ironing etc get done ok its the actual room stuff I fail on.
So I am in from today and I assume a new list is posted each day?

Greenbee~have a save trip to where you are off to this week.
Lost 3 lbs this week, that is now a total of 29lbs!!!!! yeh hey,
Congrats on the weight loss!
I'm back on the waggon with the healthy eating (just in time for it to be ruined by hotel food), and am trying to stick to walking or running 4-5 miles today. So I need to walk to the bottle bank later and then run back.
Spare room rug drying on the line. Bins emptied. DW being loaded. Washing up put away. Will potter for a bit (maybe get the kitchen a bit closer to being safe to leave for a week!), then change into gym kit before my 10am call.0
