Morning all,

Not uptodate with the thread, but I see Sammiel's been putting the world to rights You go girl!
And Mumto5 has been an absolute superstar!! Well done you!
(puts my 5k on sunday to shame - lets not mention the fairy wings or cowboy hats :eek: gonna be sooo embarrassed, why did I get talked into that!)
Feel better soon to all the poorlies
and good luck to all the flybabies doing exams
Pozie vibes to sick critters too - one of my friends beagles is fitting and the horsies I ride at the stables are both still lame

There are some lovely sparrows picking up husky fluff in the garden again, so dragged the brush through Shadow (he's now not my friend - but the sparrows are happy :rotfl:)

This morning I've fed the chookers
Weeded and hoed the garden
pinched out the triffid peas.
decluttered all the dishes from round the house
broke the biscuit barrel D'oh!
Checked the gas and electric comparison sites - no need to change .
refilled all the bird feeders.
made the bed.
fed the mutts
decluttering some biggest looser (yep I'm a saddo)
CHanged the sheets and did laundry yesterday so not too much left to do.
Made a new bread recipe yesterday - really impressed with it
(Stiiiicky sloppy dough) like it so much there's only 2 rolls left.

TOO MUCH INFO WARNING
Lastly, I've got doggy puke on my landing, which has dried in, must have been done last night just after bed time. I've got no idea how to go about removing it?
it's the clear bubbly stuff and it's dried like a varnish
Not sure whether to take a stiff brush to it? Or soak it? Put bicarb on it? Any thoughts?

Hugs, sticks and spoons all round and mebbe some BBQ sauce or ketchup... just in case you need to eat a frog? Might make it go down easier

My HHC was a bit extended.

DS2 is off school hopefully back tomorrow so I'm getting him to do homework.
Flung 1....Someone collected waterbutt stand & compost Darth Vader.
Flung 2... 3 bags for crap charity bag

Stripped bed including mattress cover, 3x wm done, 3 baskets for td (can't use whirley as old shed wood is leaning too near to it and washing would get covered in mess)
Dusted br, took the cheese shelf out of fridge to clean (didn't know it came out), tidied up drink station in conservatory, swept slabs in garden

Going for another HHC 11am then HHtax credit form just arrived

Morning all

Been for an hours's walk across the golf course - it's lovely out (did put he washing on the line before I went)

DS1 has decluttered his AS History exam and seems very happy with how it went - just 2 to go for him next week.

I'm going to do an hour's flying until lunchtime and then make some sort of cake and spend the rest of the afternoon doing jobs in the garden.

Hi all; list have been picked up and noted so that I can see what's left to do – I'll post and delete, so that I can see more easily what's still required.
Mumto5 very well done on achieving your Moonwalk!:beer: Even when I was well, I'd have struggled to do over 26 miles, though I did do 15 miles sponsored walks on a number of occasions. Be very proud of yourself – and kind to your feet!:o

Sammiell good news that the police have been such a help. Hopefully your DD's school life will be a lot happier now.:o

Lots of get-well vibes for those who are poorly - there seem to be a lot of tummy bugs around at the mo.:(

I also have a Dailies list in my PDA - it doesn't include things like wiping round the sink, loo etc, as they get done several times a day, pretty much whenever they're used. This is a list of things that actually might not need to be done every day, but if they get forgotten, it'd be a problem:

• Bath (both of us)
• Wash hair (as needed)
• Lunch box (Mr LW)
• WiiFit - HHYoga for me
• ........-HHE for me
• ........- "some" exercise for Mr LW;)
• Brain Training (me)
• Email (both of us)
• Finances - ask Mr LW if he has any credit card dockets etc
• Meal plan - see that we're ahead, and mark what we use today off inventory
• Greenhouse - anything need watering?
• Bird feeders and water - check they're filled
• Baking - any need doing?
• Flylady lists:D
• Scooter battery - does it need charging?
• Prep veggies for tomorrow (Mr LW does them and leaves them in water if it's something my hands won't cope with, eg spuds)
• Washing machine - set up and put on timer to come on early in morning if needed
• Set up coffee - Mr LW grinds beans and preps the filter machine for the next day so all I have to do is push the button
• Set out tomorrow's meds

It looks horrific when written down, but I do find it helpful - it's not funny to get into bed and then think "oh bu88er, I forgot to put tomorrow's meds ready", or find out 3 days later that Mr LW has spent £50 on his credit card and forgotten to tell me.:rotfl:

Right, I'm off to dust the Bedroom Dragons now. I may be some time.....:D
