    Assuming you want replies:D

    Obvious answer is - three
    but I know that is going to be wrong.


    Oh, wait a minute

    Five - because they have only decided - not taken off

    :j well done Crafty.

    Dusting done, all ironing done. House is for once free of all other inhabitants. Going to do a few bits on here in silence - bliss.

    Hi Guys,
    I've been lurking while off sick this week and whilst looking around my house am feeling some serious shame..Am sick of having CHAOS everywhere, everyday. Therefore i've decided to add myself (for about the 4th time!) to the flylady list and make some effort to improve my life a bit. My list is below but not sure how far i'll get, have stuck with just level one as am not feeling great so know i won't get level two and three done right now.

    I am deeply ashamed to have to admit I'm throwing in the towel this week, and will just be S&S-ing for today and tomorrow.

    I am so tired I could weep; I have prepared food (we are on "use up what won't keep" at present) for tonight, and felt horribly dizzy sitting on my perching stool in the kitchen prepping spuds.:(

    I still don't have all my case packed, and I'm very stressed, as I need to be well enough to travel on Friday; I have no idea if we'll be able to do holidays outside the UK any more, so I want Mr LW to enjoy this one.:o

    Sorry, I'm too exhausted to keep straight in my mind who has what happening just now, so will put a neat pile of hugs, sticks, spoons and boots-up-the-bum. Please help yourselves as appropriate.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
