Hello everyone!

Sorry for not really being around last week (it's been hectic!) but I will try to be around a little more this week (although it'll still be hectic!) So much to do & so little time...

I didn't really do much last week, bit of hoovering, cleaned the kitchen work surfaces etc, but I did do a lot of decluttering this weekend so it's not all bad! Hope everyone is well x

How is it Monday again already? This weekend seems to have gone in a whizz.... Let's hope the week does too.. it seem KH is putting his social life ahead of the children again so won't be seeing them until Friday... Gggrrrrr... Oh's mil is threatening to visit .. and I am on the verge of a monumental meltdown.. We have vet's on Thursday oh, and my new internet is being installed Tuesday so I need to get KH to cancel the current one.. though I may just write to them and tell them to cancel it..

I am hoping to by the last bits we need for the baby this week.. amounts to 2 towels and a baby monitor.. and chasing plasterers is on my agenda too..

Soooo Monday for me looks.. dull..

Check house situation with the solicitor and make necessary arrangements
Remind DD2 her hair appt. is Tuesday after school
Fill 2nd wheelie bin with broken crap from back garden
Deflea session for girlies.. they were all hopping and I thought I got rid yesterday then found more legged things today.. ggggrrrr.. nuke them tomorrow!
Try not to murder maim or otherwise mutilate anyone

Must remember Squeaks inhalers.. I keep forgetting the bedtime one because I am busy sorting everyone else while OH watches!

I also have to cancel a MW appointment I told them not to make because I wouldn't be going.. now.. seeing as I told them not to make it in the first place do I actually bother cancelling it.. I don't see why I should TBH.. I have got the last appointment of the morning so it isn't like I'll be holding anyone up by not going and they fit in anyone who want to go so it isn't like anyone would be refused and appointment because I have one... LMAO... you know.. I don't think my conscience will let me not cancel it...

I have a feeling I am going to end up with PND again...

There.. it is said...

Cuppa and bed for me I think..

Happy Monday fellow FLY-ers!

I am still new at this, so my plan for the week is to carry on with my basic daily cleaning (I've been doing really well at this) :j, and then aim for at least Level 1 each day as well...it won't be too much of a change, especially since this week will be busy, but it will start to get me into good habits, and also get areas of the house touched that wouldn't normally be dealt with at all :eek:.

Any extra will be a bonus! Also, today I badly want to do some decluttering of the upstairs while the kids have their post-lunch nap. Not to forget some vital phone calls and job applications I have been putting off for too long!

Have a great day all x

Lots of support to you Pigpen, I had PND myself and understand how horrible it is, look after yourself xxx

Morning Flyladies
Welcome to all newbies and returners. I have only been here for a couple of months and everyone is very friendly. Thanks everyone.

Hugs to Goodintentions and congrats to your DD.
Pigpen, you have so much to do, you would need to be some kind of superhuman to not get down from time to time. Take care of yourself and chill out.

I'm in again, aiming for level 2 all week, any more will be a bonus.

Now I am going to get dressed and take dogs for a walk before it gets too hot for them.
