    Morning flylady friends,

    I'm in this week. I've gone to work early today and left the little ones downstairs watching telly and the teenagers in bed but aware that I was out. No phone calls so I take it everything ok at home.

    5 weeks until our week in Crete for DH's niece's wedding. The bride is currently 31 wks pg and I seriously doubt she will be getting on the plane with the rest of us. I still haven't told DS2's school and am dreading it.

    We seem to have acquired a number of extra children over the weekend. The living room was full of 6 boys and the kitchen had 3. They have eaten nearly everything in the fridge so I am not very pleased. I left strict insutructions that nobody was to enter the house while I was out.

    Before work today I put the DW and WM on, s/s the kitchen and stripped the bunk beds. I need to find some gibble to ebay because the anticipated bill for new school shoes is scaring me.

    Thanks for the welcome everybody :) This is a great motivator for me and I will fit some of it in everyday this week. A friend of mine is currently selling her house and she has lots of viewers so has to clean the house top to bottom regularly. She is really feeling the benefit of cleaning little and often so my challenge to myself is to have my house "viewer ready" even though its not up for sale. Strange logic I know but it works for me :) Its a long term project but this thread will help I know

    Ok so this is my list for today I think my order may well be different to everyone else this week due to a whole weekend spent cleaning the kitchen (yes thats both days :eek:) I have now the most gorgeous kitchen and utility

    Can I join?

    baggsies Valli and the Vallikids flat sitting for Euronorris:T

    course you can join...

    been to post my e bay and took recycling, a letter and paid the papers all at the same time

    came home, chopped down clematis due to precariousness of it as it's been moved by the wind and logged on to mark what's been despatched to find another item now paid. I'll wrap it and stick it in the car in case I pass another PO later. Don't plan to at the moment but you never know.

    HHC at 11:30 anyone. The Vallikids (maybe I ought to rename them the Valliteens, really) are up now so I could get cleaning. There will be screams of agony as the Valliteen (female) is watching TV...

    oooh I've had an idea...

    HHC @ 11:30 who's IN?
