    Two lots of washing done and hung out, another to go.

    Back garden needs clearing and tables washing down in prep for summer.

    Other than that not much to report really.

    2 more loads of washing done.. I need OH to shift the baskets outside for me.. wet towels weigh a ton!

    TD finished..

    Had a rant at the MW about yesterday.. apparently the hospital have made 2 appointmnts for me to go.. but haven't told me.. and she doesn't know what time just dates.. I just laughed.. not be going to those then! Oh, and she should have booked a rescan but didn't because of the upcoming bank holidays.. I said that is a convenient excuse for not seeing people.. disgusting!

    I've mopped and polished the kitchen floor, it looks very nice with the sun shining on it through the windows. I don't think I'll be able to do a lot else but it's more than I would have done if it wasn't for this thread, I'm trying not to wallow in my aches and pains.

    Evening dailies to do - including sorting the littleys for bed, my turn tonight - plus I want to run for half an hour, and knit for one hour. Think (hope) I'll manage it!

    Hello my Lovlies

    Hope everyone is well today, hugs to those in needs and my big stick to those who need to beat people!

    Glad its kitchen today as not too grotty at all. Have hoovered lounge, S&S bathroom, poopa scooped back garden and booked woof in to be declawed, dematted and made lovely smelling on Saturday. Also been to school to look at little ones topic books - both excellent. Also went to work this morning and did usual school run routines. I have also made breaded chicken pieces for tonight wraps - actually I have done stuff, was coming on to say I had done SFA.

    I am coming to the conclusion that I am so lacking in motivation because I am the fattest I have ever been, I think if I lost even 1 stone I would feel so much better, just cannot be ar*ed to do anything about it so going round in circles:o. Am going over to see Mum in August so I really need to crack on with it.

    Anyway, I need to prep salad stuff for wrap, cook chicken off. My plan for the evening is:-

    HHI
    HHE
    Walk woof
    S & S Kitchen (after tea)
    Make note of item descriptions to put up for sale on classifieds at work - no fees;)

    Right setting timer for half an hour so will crack on with tea stuff and do a bit of scrubbing whilst I am in there.

    :hello:to all my flylady friends!

    Day off today, minimal flying indoors, bar washing bedlinen, but decluttered large sums of money for DS 2's currency - he's off on a Big Trip to Russia with the school on Friday.:D

    Very warm and sunny here today, so I pottered around in the garden all afternoon.

    Very tired today, and hoping that I'm not brewing up another cold - throat feels suspiciously achey...

    Happy birthday to embb! Sorry I missed that.

    Love and hugs, especially for toots, lady-liberty and lamewolf, and all those flyladies having a tough time of it at the moment.
