I'm happy to say that the bed and units have been moved: it appears the surround sound gubbins is back in place in the living room so now it's a case of getting everything else back in place:rotfl:
However, plenty of Dysoning has been done and, from the smell of it, tea is nearly ready. :cool:‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ David Lynch.

You can - but you dont have to. I find it helps.. I always know where it is, I have to come online to read it, and posting and seeing others posting actually makes me do it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAT!!! XXXX

Hello there lovely Flyladies (and Gents!) - can I play? Back (again) after a long absence, and ready to atone. I need to. I haven't unpacked for about 3 years now, due to constant moving, and my house is like a shed. It's not fun, and I am a big ball of knotty grumpiness as a result. It's not pleasant.
So, in a flash of Inspiration (shortly to be followed by Perspiration) I thought - I know! I'll check in here again for some cleaning & emotional rehab, with laughter thrown in.
Checked the list, and will get off my butt and do the following NOW....anyone up for a HHC with me?

food eaten.. though I think it was a snack.. so my stomach is demanding I feed it some more later.
Squeak is squawking.. she didn't get up until 11:45 so she has not been allowed a nap all day so is shattered.. She IS going to docs tomorrow if I have to go there and accost a GP as they are walking from their room to go pee! I can make psychotic mothers look sane! It isn't like I take mine at every sniffle and fart.. some of them have never been to docs!! Hhhmmm.. wonder if OH fancies bathing the snotting, spewing squawking thing... I also wonder if he has a choice
He can bath her and I'll remake the bed..she can then have ready brek and go to bed.
