    I can't believe how much washing has been dried today. I've only 3 loads left and i'm all caught up with the stuff in the basket, plan is to get all bedding done tomorrow as well as the cushion covers and throw from the livingroom. :D

    Need to get the kids in now to get their homeworks done and then me and the boys will go and sort their bedroom (DS2 still has a pair of glasses missing) i will glue them to his head yet. :mad:

    Kitchen table been cleared, dw back on.

    Jojo fingers crossed that probably nothing is nothing.
    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.

    It's great isn't it vanilla....I have washed, dried and irone 3 lots today(not all of it need ironing....towels and undies), so I think I will get the bedding done tomorrow and then do the cushion covers and throws in the LR on Friday!!

    Have relooked and the college work I done earlier and flung some of it as I was jabbering and repeating myself. Looked at the next bit and written a sentence and a half!!! stuck now!!!

    Rushes in quickly

    Pigpen - sorry to hear about DS3 hope it is controlled with minimal fuss.

    Jo-Jo - Sounds like an eventful morning! I hope the fuss all turns out to be nothing.

    Adamantine As others have said leave FB alone for a good long while - what you don't read can't hurt you and anyone stupid enough to believe what he says is no friend of yours.

    Minimal flying today. 2 loads of washing done, all yesterdays ironing put away. 4 mile training walk completed.

    It's the London Moonwalk registration day tomorow and I am certified insane as I am going to do it again....

    I've about the same dried on the line today, i also had the td on to catch up too. :o I think we're suppose to get the good weather tomorrow again and possibly friday but back to the good old rain on saturday.

    Boys bedroom had been done just need to run the hoover round it tomorrow. Managed to pull out another load of washing (at least it wasn't a basket). Didn't find the glasses and didn't find them outside so i've gave up tonight. Search will carry on tomorrow. :rotfl:

    Right time to get kids to bed and i'll make a start on ebay. Plus i best bring in the rest of the washing, it gives rain in the morning. ;)

  • Am guessing you've just moved house? Congrats on getting all unpacked - it's a nightmare, isn't it? FlyLady would say 'You're not behind! Just jump in where you are.' So I think that's a 'start today' rather than 'wait till next Monday' :)
