ZCC!!! :j:j:j Great to see you posting. Stick with it this time :cool:
Not a huge amount done but I have got our bedding washed and dried, and I did walk to school this afternoon. Rather sore now - which turns me into doom and gloom merchant. I can't walk for ten minutes !!!!!!, 18 months ago I was averaging 15k steps a day. Moan, moan, whinge, whinge

Hi Hex2, thanks - I'll try! I'll be so happy to finally settle somewhere though, as I'm sick of looking at boxes!!
Note to self......it's nigh on impossible to hoover/dust when every surface is covered in carp. So, have picked up stuff and put it back in its relevant box :rotfl:and will crack on to clear the list after a swift cuppa. It was an action packed HHC(learing of surfaces) and quite an aerobic work out - Jack FM on full blast, and boogie-ing along! Funfunfun!!

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.
Whoa! Yoo hoo. I've got another child and dog since we last saw you.
What about you, did you ever give teaching a go?
