    Given the result, maybe I should try studying. I'd never get the work done, but maybe we'd have a clean and tidy house. :D
    It's called 'displacement activity' and I am very good at it :D

    OK washed, dressed and WM on.

    :eek: can I just say - you all iron a lot more than me - one half hour a week max just about does me for uniforms and odd bits - DH does his own shirts and everything else gets hung out strategically ;) to minimise creases. My standards are clearly a bit lower than flylady control:rotfl:

    Anyway, I had a meeting at my house last night so I had a good whip round the living room/kitchen/hallway so I've got a head start here - I just need to backtrack to the bedroom as I may have..ahem.... missed that last week too:o:o

    morning all, thanks to everyone for the hugs and positive vibes, I think its going to be a difficult week or two.

    As the shelled ones decided to empty their indoor pond yesterday any spare flying time was taken up with clearing up the mess and refilling the pond.

    Have s&s'd the kitchen and got Dyson ready to attack the living room floor later, odd bits need decluttering before they become fixtures.

    sorry eta Pigpen you seem to live in a constant whirlwind, I hope thing settle down soon
    Sue
    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T

    Not unless you want to be reviving the Wolf with smelling salts and whisky, thank you so much!:D:D:D I hope Miss A's poorly paw is lots better now, and that she never ever does that again.

    Mumto5 I'm sending healing vibes to your mum; hoping her op goes well, and that she's on the mend as swiftly as possible, and coping vibes to you. (((HUG)))

    BD has taken up residence, I fear.:( I'm just getting so sick of the newspaper taking the stance that all disability claimants are lazy good-for-nothing spongers. !!!!!!, I'd still be doing paid work if I was able; I didn't choose to have this damnable illness, but they make out like it's a lifestyle choice!:mad: Sorry, it's just got me so wound up I could scream if I had the spoons to spare.:( I already feel like I'm a worthless waste of space, without smug journalists who've probably never had to deal with anything worse than a hangnail making me feel even worse. And don't even get me started on the self-serving "public servants" who are going to be administering the torture of the vulnerable.:mad:
    *Gets off soapbox and looks embarrassed* Rant over.

    It looks like a good deal of today's list is already covered, though - I'll do my usual..... post, then delete from my Word.doc.... then I need a time out and a very large glass of Red Bull.

    Tuesday twinkles! - Living room, hall and stairs!
    Level One
    Declutter and vacuum!
    Done – vacuuming done by Mr LW
    Spend half an hour doing something for yourself! .. make yourself a hair appointment or something!
    Deferred for now; hair colour required but I need assistance with this
    Level Two
    Wipe sofas
    Wash windows
    dust and deweb!.. don't forget furry skirtings!
    Level three
    Wash any soft furnishings that need doing
    WIP; need assistance with the few items remaining to be done
    Vacuum right the way up the stairs!
    Whole bungalow done by Mr LW
    Sort through coats n bags n shoes etc
    All tidy and in their places
    Extras

    1. Sort through a handbag Done the other day; nothing been put in it since! (I only have one handbag)
    2. Sort through a cupboard or drawer of junk
    3. 29 fling boogie... N/A; there's nowt left to fling!
    4. HHI
    ETA: Mamaninie I for one Do Not Iron! Mr LW does what little we have to do on Sundays; the reason is that I cannot lift the ironing table myself, so he'd have to set it out for me, and it'd have to stay there, in my way, for the rest of the day; and he says he's happy to do it. Takes somewhere between half an hour and an hour, once a week.;) I usually do HHYoga or something like that instead when HHI is on the list.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
