    1 small thunder storm, a bit of rain and its blue sky again, off to declutter some salad from the fridge, not feeling like it really, I want fattening comfort food, but it will help to empty the fridge so I clean it :T
    Kids bounce back so quickly, its a pity we loose that ability as we get older.

    I love the cycling having a destination, think it would make it much less monotonous, wave as you go past here (I'm thinking you might go past in about September?).
    what a good idea... if Toots has a map with all the flyladies on it, she can let us know when she's passing :D although she might not get down here until next christmas...

    I can't reach the windows so will ask Hubby to do it later. Might get the door done but if not will add it to tomorrows list. Not sure about the cupboard under the sink as I think Hubby did it recently when we had a leak.
    Welcome to the Madhouse! Do be sure to read Posts #1 and #2, to get all the abbreviations and encouragement.:o

    A word to the wise - if it really doesn't need doing, don't bother! Either have a time-out, or if you're feeling virtuous, substitute a cupboard/drawer/something else that does want doing.;)

    I nearly forgot to come back and report in..... oops....:D
