Morning all
Smooth move vibes for Toots
Two beds stripped
One summer duvet in the WM
Next wash ready to go in
15 minutes finding the kitchen mission complete.
Shower now and then the day is to be spent doing loads of tidying/sorting getting the back garden lovely interspaced by 15 minute challenges in the kitchen when I get too hot.
Have a good one ladiesThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
second load of washing on - but DD2 had a nosebleed in the night so I will have to do her bedding too!
Lovely and sunny here and forecast good for tomorrow and Monday!
Kitchen clean, washing up done, just the ironing to sort...:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Hi all, been a week of hell but I'm hoping we're over the worst of it, sometimes life throws you stuff that knocks everything off its feet, this has been one of those times...
Anyways, hoping all goes well with Toots and her move, 'smooth everything and easy finding it all again' vibes going out there for you hun. xxxxx
Today my plan is to clear out the back garden, get my car cleaned on the outside (I cleaned the inside this week), pack van up full of car boot stuff and also at same time clear shed, various garages and stuff in bedrooms and also loft.
I would like some plants for outside and in as we have none too.
Oh and get some shopping done.
Washing is on and a few loads to go in and other than that just having coffee number 2 and about to start moving.
Hope everyone is having a good day.DFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08

Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
All beds stripped, first lot nearly dry on the line just time for a coffee then it should be, then second lot can go out. Have hand scrubbed the carpet in small spare room, its not great but the amount of muck that came out it should be better than it was.
Kids not happy at being up, DS is still on student hours but at least he's wandering around attempting to do something. DD is frantically trying to tidy her room before she is allowed to meet her friends for swimming at 11! She's not even washed or dressed yet and we're 10 mins walk from the pool. If she thinks i'm taking her she can think again as I'm not dressed and have EinsteinJedward hair.
Coffee then shower and dress is next on my list.
Hugs for Triker and I hope you get all you want done today xMortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!0 -
Rebob ((((Hugs)))) I would be exactly the same.
MrsChaos I hope chat with OH and DS1 goes well and that you enjoy your time off.
Triker and Kazwookie good luck at your respective boots sales.
Mumof2 I spend most days in my PJ's:o as I get showered and dressed once I have got the cleaning done and sometimes if Im not going any where/doing anything I just get changed into fresh PJs. I think this may be because a vast majority of my clothes are work wear.
Right today I plan to cut the grass if I can get the lawn mower out of the garage and do some baking. I may suggest to OH that we take dogbot to the park with the lake later this afternoon as dogbot enjoys it so much but I'll have to see what state OH gets home in after his moutain bike ride.
Hope its a sunny day for everyone tody, happy flying
