    Hi all :wave: Back in flylady land. Will have to catch up fast - house looks like a bomb site and I'm off again on Sunday.

    So far. DW on (left 10 days ago by DDDH :rotfl:) Car emptied. Ozzie beast comforted. Trains re-booked for Sunday. Menus planned. Mr T shop done. Post opened and sorted.

    I'm leaving study door firmly closed until tomorrow.

    3 WM loads prepared. 1 to go on after cheap electrics tonight.

    Ozzie beast comforted again (he's bruised his leg on the seatbelt clip. We're planning to get some memory foam to prop him up next time)

    Food for DH defrosted.

    NEED to de-grime fridge. Came home to rotting cucumber/lettuce etc. Uggggh.

    Will definitely need a warm bath and glass of wine before bed methinks.:D

    Hugs to LW and nixie. (and anyone else I've missed) Will post my toots list in a moment :eek:

    Evening,

    Had a miserable day at work.
    Have cooked dinner and done dailies. Just running a bath, then an hour of tv and an early night.
    I fear it's going to be one of those weeks where little gets done.

    Happy Anniversary Lamewolf. Enjoy your champers.

    I will catch you all tomorrow

    Evening all

    Congratulations, valli. 'Satisfactorys' aren't that easy to come by and well done for the good elements. I've only skimmed through the last few posts and I'm surre there's a lot more I've not seen.

    I'm sorry I went missing on Sunday. I let DS2 use the laptop and it picked up a virus. :o I ended up at a colleague's/friend's house yesterday to get some work done. Unfortunately I had planned on doing all my stuff on Sunday night/Monday, so I'm now even further behind. Fortunately our very helpful IT person at work sorted the laptop out for me, when he was already snowed under with work. :A

    I won't be around much this week, as I'm mega busy. Lots of stuff to do for work, a union meeting tomorrow and DS1's birthday on Thursday. Must make a cake tomorrow. Oh, and I'm waiting for the hairdresser to let me know when she can fit me in before the weekend. Friday night I'll be washing/packing/working and then DH and I are off to his reunion on Saturday morning (back Sunday lunchtime). More washing/working/flying when I get back.

    Time to read to DS2 and have a short nap so I'm fit for some work. 2 major tasks, one medium one and 3 short ones to do. Somehow that doesn't fit into one evening, so I'll have to prioritise and do my best.

    Hope everyone has a good week. Special hugs to L-L, toots, LW and anyone else who could do with one. x

    :hello:Just whisking through, because I miss you all when I'm doing the paid work thing...

    DD has pretty much done the living room list, although I think she may have missed off the fireplace - as in fact I do....:cool:

    Love and hugs to lady-liberty, whether you post or not, I send you a virtual hug when I think about you.

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday to FFP. I have also missed your smileys!

    Love and hugs also to toots and lamewolf.

    My HHC went a bit wrong. I brought the washing in and sorted the rabbits then OH arrived. His work collegue's OH works as a camera man on Dr WHo and had got a signed photo addressed to Ds2. :j:j:j The look on his face was priceless. :D Then the migrane that had been niggling started getting worse so i took another nurofen+ that knocked me out for about half an hr. :cool:

    I need to sort the kitchen out and make the packed lunches yet but i CBA now. :cool:
