    Reported :spam: Not your post, I hasten to add, SSL, there was a :spam: post immediately after it.;)

    Apologies for being so late declaring myself in this week; many thanks to FCC.

    Just a little hoppety-fluttering this week, as I'm completely exhausted, and have to be well by Friday, as Terrier Ted is coming for the weekend.

    I really think bank holiday weekends should be outlawed- I always do far too much, and end up feeling dreadful! And of course 2 x 4-day weekends consecutively has made it even more exhausting!

    Oh well, I'll just have to do what I can - maybe not post achievements til I have a decent amount done, though.;)

    We'll be decluttering champagne tonight, as it's exactly 9 years since Mr LW and I got together, at a wine-tasting at Colin's place (may he rest in peace:A)
    Oh, and Hoppy Birdday to FFP, while I think to say it.:beer:
    ETA SPAM has gone, and Missus Aka has posted since I started typing (don't want the Flyladies thinking I've reported them as Spam)

    Afternoon ladies! (and any gents)

    I'm a newbie here and a self-confessed clean freak. I moved into my house with my OH nearly 2 years ago, and because I'm SO FRICKEN BUSY ALL THE TIME, I've not done anything to it, apart from cleaning.

    This thread is exactly the thing I need to keep me on track!

    I certainly have 'hotspots' in the living room, which the OH can populate within seconds of me cleaning, grrrr! I also have a grubby en-suite which will need tackling at some point this week.

    Although I only saw this thread today, I did a pretty good job of getting some things off the list already! I dragged the OH kicking and screaming upstairs and we went through all our wardrobes / floordrobes / cupboards and drawers and binned / charity bagged 7 bags of stuff! Also vacuumed and de-webbed the whole of the upstairs (apart from the top of the stairs which I can't reach.)

    So I shall write up my list for this week and post soon, I'm excited to get cracking! (And also excited to find like-minded out there who must also battle with OHs!)

    Since my last post I have finished my shredding (yay!! - I will try not to let it build up now :)), mopped the kitchen floor, had lunch, hung out washing & reloaded, started DW, cleaned the downstairs loo, emptied food bin and washed (yuck!) and cleared a hot spot into a box (top of microwave). I am just having a cuppa, then plan to clean the microwave & sort out the box of toot!

    I will come back later :D

    Cycled to town and back so another bag of stuff flung (and a £5 voucher stashed).

    Just a couple of jobs on here and then I'll start my hour of downstairs stuff which will need to be punctuated by a school run.

    Bizarre...I'm sure I posted that I had reported the spam too but either I'm dreaming or its disappeared too.

    Oh well...OH is busying himself with greenhouse stuff. I know crafty, I've been waiting a year, so I'll happily stay put while they get on with it. My uncle is helping him at the moment, they are building the base. I'm staying inside while all this is happening!

    Best bash on...anyone up for a HHC 2-2.30?
