    afternoon all :hello:

    I have got down on my knees and scrubbed the downstairs loo floor, cleaned all round the loo, nice and sparkly.

    I just need to tackle a horrible bit on the hall floor which is tiled and DH tipped some car oil over last year, he was supposed to clean it up and made a half hearted attempt, but when I moved the shelves it had gone under them as well. So, that bit is next.

    Mumof2, nice one:rotfl:it could have been worse, the marks could still be there as well:rotfl:

    hugs to all in need, seems to be quite few fly ladies needing one
    Sue
    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T

    Had a random day off as youngest is ill.bed.gif Got her in the docs (a miracle) and managed to get some antibiotics. Eldest isn't too good either though I expect she'll have an amazing recovery later when she goes out to meet her boyfriend.

    So managed to get some flying done, numerous washes on and out. HSwash.gifpeople566.gifLooks like it may rain so I've brought most of it back in.

    BeDDING STRIPPED AND SORTED FROM OUR BED, oops caps lock, duvet aired.

    I have decluttered my hair this week as had it chopped. Work is workish, bleurghhhh, my front garden is overrun with weeds despite the weed defence membrane thingy **sigh**.:(

    Other than that and car troubles and money worries, and junk to get rid of and a general malaise re life etc....its all good in the hood.:rotfl:


    Ummmm Frogs, yup there's a few to gobble up but they keep jumping back out of my mouth as I munch 'em....:rotfl:th_jumpingfrogsmilie.gifth_jumpingfrogsmilie.gifth_jumpingfrogsmilie.gifth_jumpingfrogsmilie.gif

    I wondered about kassey she was always done to level 3 by about 10 am, wow!

    cos she never gossiped...mmmm *rubs chin thoughtfully*

    just wrapped my heavy item and took it to PO to have it weighed...not too bad at all, IMO top price just over £15 and that's 1st class...
    so it looks like I'll be posting it. Just going to e mail buyer with price. This means there ISN'T A HUGE BOX OF E BAY STUFF IN MY BEDROOM:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    AND i HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED more STUFF READY TO LIST OVER THE WEEKEND AND (oops sorry for shouting) a re-re-re-re-re-listed item fiunally has bids:T:T:T:T

    kids bedrooms vacuumed. DS has been 'playing' with my stapler, firing 'unfolded' staples all over his room...17 - I ask you!

    I 'liberated' my stapler from a former employer - when I got made redundant and they were shutting down;) in 1982:eek:

    *sighs deeply* there will be FLYLADIES younger than my stapler and my sellotape dispensers (I have two, one for small rolls one for large rolls - a boon when wrapping and they came from there, too;))


    am much amused by certain Flyladies antics - tissue and tsunami

    ooh that could be the titled of the Flyladies story -
    Tissues and Tsunamis

    how housework HASN'T got any easier despite a proliferation of gadgets

    UPDATE Princess Beatrice's 'fascinator/hat' has been bid up to £50K!

    Well, I suppose if I didn't use tissues, then I'd have a slightly discoloured cotton hanky stuffed in a pocket somewhere! This may be a bit unsanitary but better than the bits of tissue.

    Oh, despite there being a recycling site 2 minutes walk from this block of flats, some fool has blocked up the rubbish chute with a bag of glass bottles... and some other fool has started piling their rubbish in the bin cupboard. Where's the roll eyes smilie when you need it??

    You're not talking about me by any chance are you Valli :p! Do you know if we wrote a book, to quote Del Boy, this time next year we could be millionaires!


    Finished my typing now just got to decide what to give the kids for tea (pasta is tempting as quick n easy - my favourite!), then water plants, bath kids and am on target for a lovely quiet evening *sighs happily*!

    Evening,

    Well I managed to fill the charity bag before 8.00am and then it all went downhill.
    I have had a sore shoulder for a while so got a docs appt for this morning. He sent me for an xray, but I didn't have any change for parking so i went to sainsbugs to get some and then the hosp - meaning the morning was gone. Cat food was on offer though!
    I then decided to have a nap for half an hour which turned into 2 hours :o
    Since then I have gutted the kitchen and our bedroom. They both look presentable. I am just going to go and tidy the lounge which isn't too bad, then start dinner, then do the bathroom.
    I am out in Manchester shopping in the morning, so need to crack on now and not rely on manana.
    Off to cook - update later.

    Mumof2 - you did make me laugh :rotfl:

    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'
