    Right

    I've stripped out 7 of the kitchen cupboards, dumped the junk, wiped out the cupboard and put stuff back neatly, cleaned the bottom 2 draws of the freezer as well.

    Re done the kitchen floor

    Put up the garden umbrella as the sun has come out, and now off to see the weeds get into the garden recycling bin!

    Welcome Bargainhunterss (that's gonna be shortened to BH cos I'm too lazy to type it all lol) :hello:

    Good weather vibes for LL x

    Done the kitchen and porch (as it's off the dining room-back to front house) relocated the litter tray to the cool-sunless downstairs loo it was reaking in the porch with the sun on it _pale_ and I scoop it.

    I've put some recycling out and tidied the garden, made 6 pack-up sandwiches for the freezer, would have been more but I ran out of Ham. Took tonights tea out of the freezer along with a whoopsied Apple and blackberry pie-yum!

    Off upstairs now to make my bed/get dressed.

    Morning all, lovely day but tons of flies outside, ugh.

    Waffles made and decluttered, washing machine on.

    Hubby going to try and sort out the rest of the bathroom, he's put some insulation in the gaps and needs to get on with that.

    May try and disinfect the garden path to clear some space, and hopefully get rid of some of the flies.

    Hey all,

    Hope you are all good - hugs to the poorlies, vibes where required and welcome to the Newbies! :hello:

    I have slightly fallen off the flylady wagon this week - going to London on Wed and a late night at Hyde Park resulted in basically nothing getting done on Thursday and have been tired ever since! However, since I gutted the house at the beginning of the week, it still looks good and mostly just needed swishing and swiping here and there to keep it looking presentable.

    Other than S&S I didnt actually do much else so caught up with 4 loads of washing yesterday and am now off to sort out laundry for Ironing lady and put the rest away.

    Off to find my list and update....

    xx

    Great big work frog eaten. Yay.

    Kitchen slowly taking shape. Will try and fly in the breaks.

    Does anyone know if you can use normal salt in place of d/w salt? I've run out and it desperately needs doing and I don't want to go shopping just for that.

    Kitchen has been S&S, cake baked, dinner on and beds stripped. Our bedding in now. :D

    Right now to make a start on the back hall and see if wm is finished. Must get hubby to empty the kitchen bin.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
