    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:

    Food shopping put away accordingly, Milk in freezer :D along with some other extras that I bought. Tea almost ready, dishes done as I went, food waste out, rubbish out, childs reading for school completed.

    I might eventually get round to some decluttering!!! :o

    [strike]Empty the cutlery drawer.. clean it out, wash the cutlery tray, chuck those baby spoons you don't use any more.. how many medicine spoons do you actually need? get rid of everything you don't use and make the drawer look nice again! [/strike] - amazingly, nothing needed throwing out!!

    4. [strike]HHI .. bit of a catch up!![/strike] - all done in front of Jeremy Kyle :p
    I've been really chuffed with myself today - all I've wanted to do is veg out and do nothing, but I've managed to get some work done that's been hanging over my head for a while and done some of the housework as well.

    Still no box delivery :( Tomorrow apparently...it's now taken longer for it to get from Felixstowe to the north of Scotland than it did to get from Hong Kong to Felixstowe!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    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 :p

    He can bath her and I'll remake the bed.. :D she can then have ready brek and go to bed.
