    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    I was meeting myself coming back yesterday so didn't have chance to post, work is becoming increasingly hard work and I got 6 hrs full on today :( So the list will defo not get done and perhaps not even the dailies, although I have done a bit of tidying this morning...

    will list what I know I WILL do cos I have to lol

    *squeezy hugs all round cos you're all fabuloso*

    feed the cat
    make my bed

    tea
    kitchen tidy
    Food shop
    get tickets for panto

    DD1 coming specially to take us down for the panto tickets and she wants to go to Asda so I thought I'd save the delivery charge this week for my food shop seeing as I'll be there anyway :money: need to copy my online order list onto paper.

    Laters folks, be good xx

    I have a poorly girl home with me today - DD is having a VERY uncomfortable AF visit (at least it's not every one) so she is here.
    She is up so I can get the vauum cleaner on the go.

    My first 'big' recycling bin has been emptied - we can now add plastic and it's a proper bin (the boxes used to cause problems in windy weather.

    I'm hoping that it will have a positive effect on the local environment - the 'plastic' bins by the shopswere also prone to suffering in high wind and the plastic used to end up in the river (due to prevailing wind and lie of the land) and on 'the Green'.

    Anyway off I go

    (doing the squeezes btw;) - ace challenge, that.
    And can I suggest, Dusty & the coalition that personal health checks eg breast awareness and 'bits' awareness be added one day?

    Hmmmm, I seem to be running generally a day behind - on the other hand, it's about a year ahead of my usual housekeeping practices so I'm more than chirpy with this flylady business!

    Don't worry you're not the only one!
    Good evening :D

    Dusty - do we still get stars if we complete the challenges later in the week? And also, i think I am missing one (or a snowman - can't remember) for Monday :o Thank you x

    Of course you do. Tell me your total for stars and snowmen and I'll update.

    JulieJim - tell me your star total too please I've lost count for you

    Triker you are doing amazingly well, please don't over do it hun

    Valli do you want stars and snowmen? You're not on my list - give me a total if you do

    Morning everyone. Dusty the lists are fantastic. Well done. Wish I had less distractions so that I could get on with them.

    Washing machine paddle has broken off again. I think something is behind the drum. I have found a spares supplier who charges £5.28 with £1.99 P&P - slightly better than the £29.98 I paid from the manufacturer a couple of weeks ago.

    DS1's difficult behaviour has gone to far. He is disruptive, bullying and violent when he is in the house. I am scared of him and spent the last day and a half in tears. DH has realised that it is more than just AF causing my distress, he is away now until Friday and DS1 has been sent to the in-laws until DH returns. DS1 has a job interview this morning and I really hope he gets it as it will keep him out the house for 40 hours a week. He also has college tonight and PIL is going to collect him afterwards (bus doesn't run after 7pm).

    I'm feeling really low and am trying to pull myself together. I feel really pathetic, I just can't stop crying.
