    Well. In my HHC I:

    Emptied and loaded DW
    Loaded and put on WM
    Sorted foot high paper pile into filing personal, business and need to do something about yesterday:rotfl:
    Emptied study bin for first time in about a year
    Cleared desk so there is space for me to use it (determined to migrate back to study from dining room now its getting warmer)
    Sorted floor piles in study ready for filing
    Emptied and sorted 2 airers worth of washing and put mine away.

    Not bad methinks. Why is it I get so much more done if I get up at 0630 and fly until 0900 than I ever do if I leave the flying until later.

    OK. Going to declutter a cup of tea and some e-mails before walking beast. Not sure how long the walk will be as he's still limping.

    hugs, spoons and mules as required.

      well, another slow day at work - so I've gone all Flylady on them here and am throwing out rubbish with a vengeance!! Again, the startled looks as my desk has a reputation for being the messiest one in the office (out of 90!).! But we have so many catalogues, product data and technical stuff that is out of date that it seriously needs sorting.! And of course, I'm tidying my desk.! Again.! As regards home stuff, it was another 6.45am out of the house, with kidlets and OH as he went drinking after work last night and had to leave his car in!town (bus home).! Then he remembered late last night that he had to be in!20 miles away!by 8am for a meeting, so I had to get us all up, out in time to drop him in!town before going to childminders and getting myself to work by 8am.! Am exhausted already! So my master bedroom list will be limited to changing the sheets, smoke alarms are hardwired to the mains (and my standard of cooking is such that they get tested on a regular basis anyway...), windows open already as I leave them open when I go to work.! Got to pick up clothes into the laundry basket and nag OH to put a load on (he very good at this TBH).! There will be no turning mattresses.! I've got 2 handbags to complete this evening for sale and I'm going for an hours run at 7.30 with a friend so can't get out of it.! At least is is not my turn to cook tea as well! Sigh.! Off to organise the lintel catalogues - it's a glamorous life :-)
      Love the inspiration I'm getting from here, am so very impressed with you all :-) on another note, has anyone triedthe Cambridge diet? I need to shed a couple of stone as am getting married in August and a friend has just lost 60lbs in 12weeks! Wanted another opinion - and I know it isn't very moneysaving...

      The people who mind don't matter, and the people who matter don't mind
      Getting married 19th August 2011 to a lovely, lovely man :-)

      Well!

      I was flying yesterday, got a load in the WM and out to dry, de-cluttered the living room and did 15 mins of ironing and then went to cadets...

      Had a kind of 'breakdown' at cadets, so out came the vodka when I got home.

      Not feeling so fly today :-(
