    oooh I went to school with the curator - the big boss there I mean -
    DD has hers next week - a week working for the county council architects dept (note to self - sort out transport) and a week in a chemists on Saltergate

    Flying?

    done half the washing up - with a fan on in the kitchen because the sun's streaming in

    DS has, apprently, had 2 showers since he came in...and now gone playing football - so will no doubt want a third.

    I am way too hot

    I have vouchers to spend at BHS by the 30th but CBA to go yesterday - too hot

    did I mention Im hot?

    when I was still married to the second Mr Valli he was on some forum messaging ladies...I didn't believe there was anything in it BUT I knew FULL WELL he would have not been happy were I doing the same - this was pointed out to him. Tartly.

    Noticed lots of bnew people and some old faces so welcome/welcome back as appropriate.

    A good first official Flylady day today! My plan was to do all my daily cleaning (a fairly new one for me) which keeps the downstairs visitor ready, and do Level One.

    Well I did all my daily cleaning plus a lot of gardening.

    Then I...

    *Aired living room.
    *Cleared all rubbish off stairs and tidied hallway.
    *Set up new landline in hallway.
    *Vacuumed floors and cobwebs on ceiling, light etc.
    *Vacuumed sofa and chair - sofa hasn't looked so good since it was new ;)
    *Tidied surfaces and started moving toys etc from top of bookcase
    *Removed some stains from carpet
    *Removed some stains from chair
    *Checked smoke alarms
    *Washed out my vacuum cleaner and wiped it out with some lavender oil...still smelled when i ran it though :(.

    Onwards for the rest of the week! Haven't looked yet what room it is tomorrow, but I am looking forward to it...although have to say I am tired this evening.

    I have noticed I really procrastinate when it comes to important phone calls. As of tomorrow, I am having a daily slot to do this and file paperwork.

    Have a happy evening all.

    Hello all, I'm in for this week again. Place is a disaster zone - I was working a long day on saturday then went to london town on sunday on a study day, during which time the smallest boy fell out of the patio door onto the concrete step and sustained a very nasty laceration. The lovely neighbour called an ambulance as both DH and she panicked, the paramedic sent them to have it glued at the out of ours minor injuries unit - but a complaint will be going about that dr because they did nothing 0 didn't even examine him properly or give any head injury advice. When I got back in the evening I was going to try to steristrip it together, managed to wash it out (dr didn't even clean it!) and realised it was far too big and needed glueing. SO off we all went to the childrens A&E and got him properly examined, cleaned and glued. We all got into bed just after midnight.

    We have all been very tired and hot today, but I managed to mop up the blood this morning, put some blood stained clothing in the WM and got everyone sorted before getting off to my little job at the childrens centre. Trip to the library after nursery morning and then we all just collapsed in a heap:p

    Sofa covers are in the WM and I'm going to clean out the hoover in a tick before I do a little bit more flying.

    Hope all are well, I haven't a chance to catch up on the thread as otherwise I will do no flying :D

    Can I join please? Managed all of my morning routine this morning, before taking DS2 to the Eye Clinic via my work, then both of next doors cats came in to eat our cat's food & spray in her litter tray. So I had to clean that out before we went.

    OUTOFMONEY I reckon you must be Superwoman to have got your whole list done today!!

    Haha...I wish!

    I did the dusting and clearing up this morning then OH hoovered for me when he got home at lunchtime. I did the paintwork and switches etc this afternoon during a HHC.

    We don't have a hallway and the porch is all tidy so it just got hoovered. I will mop it when I do the kitchen.

    Daughter did the stairs and landing when she got home.

    So sorry, can't take all the credit. :o

    That reminds me....must get OH to check alarms.

    Nothing done from today's list, but windows have been sanded, primed and undercoated (not by me :p), DW repair visit has been booked, lots of stuff has been washed up by hand, and more of the kitchen has been done. It may take all week, but I'll get it done. The rest of the house will get a S&S once the windows are finished. No point till then. Might wash the muslins and washable curtains too, and maybe take the others to the cleaners with my suit sometime....
