Hi and welcome Elimum!

Your spelling was 100% correct, so no need to apologise. Besides, we all still make mistakes all the time, so no need to apologise at any time for spelling.

You have reminded me though, that my next course of Dutch lessons starts on Wednesday, so I need to watch the Dutch film I borrowed from a friend and get my study books ready.

Hello all;:wave:

I'm attempting “in” again this week, at least in part; I have to get the whole bungalow cleaned as far as possible by Thursday;:eek: Mr LW has Friday off for us to celebrate Mabon (and the new bath lift should be arriving);) and he also has next week off, and we'll be away from Tuesday to Friday next week, so I'll be having next week off of Flying. Mr LW is also wfh on early shift on Wednesday, so between having to be finished with any Flying by 14:30, doing our main meal for midday, and keeping him supplied with intravenous tea,:coffee: I probably won't achieve a great deal that day.:cool:

I'm a little miffed – having had to strap my right hand and wrist a little while back, as it was hurting like a good'un for no apparent reason, I now have the same thing happened with my left hand and wrist.:( No idea why. This is more of a nuisance, as I do most things left-handed for preference (despite my parents' concerted efforts when I was a child to force me to be right-handed).:mad:

Luckily, there was a pair of Mr LW's rubber gloves in the kitchen drawer, which fit over my bandage, so I can still do tasks that involve paws in water, as long as I'm careful.:o I've already hand-washed two tops today! I've also made pizza base for use tonight, and kicked off a loaf in the BM.:T

Thanks Toots for stepping in for Piggers and doing the list; and welcome back PenPen. Oh, and thanks Piggers for posting the Dot piccies.:T:beer:

I've weeded out the bits of the lists that are not applicable here (no smelly pets to clean out – they went home:( – see below) and we did the airing cupboard only the other day, before we took the box of [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE] wonderful stuff to the RSPCA shop.;)

Derek and Clive were safely picked up last night; I have to download the pictures I took of them from my camera at some point. The bungalow seems very empty – they're only little but they have BIG personalities! I really, really hope I get them to stay again at some point.:o

I do also have some sitting-down tasks to do - spreadsheets to update and so forth, so I think I'll do a spot of that before I tackle dusting the Bedroom Dragons.:D

More ironing done - slowly but surely....keep wandering off and doing other things...
Pasta scoffed (leftovers)
phoned dad
phoned brother (who never answers so sent a text too)
Booked van!! :eek: Definitely moving now...
Sinked filled with bleach and draining board scrubbed
WM filled...

What next...

Forgive me for I have sinned and fallen off the Flylady wagon! But I will repent and am now back on it! My house this morning resembled a house that had been ransacked! It doesn't anymore...well except the kids room!

Congrats Pigpen! She is so teeny, I thought my sister's baby was small at 5lbs 12oz but Dot is even teenier bless her, hope you're both doing well.

Just a quickie post to say I'm in this week, or at least attempting to be - I've done really well the past couple of weeks at both flying AND keeping up with the thread, but we're off on holiday next week so last minute preparations may take over! Hopefully not though...

I have the crappest headache and i'm aching all over. :mad::mad::mad: It's not that long ago that i had the same thing. Suppose i should go make some calls and shuffle some things about. Need to cancel my course, change a dentist appointment, find out when carpet is arriving tomorrow. Need the hall spotless for the morning, need to see what i've hide in the freezer for dinner and make an apple crumble...
