    Seafarers.. when they replaced my 3 kitchen windows they started at 9 and were done by 1.. They did a fabulous job of cleaning up afterwards. The same company did the 3 bedroom + backroom bay this year and again cleaned up more mess than they themselves had created..

  • Just found this thread and wanted to say thank you. I've been following the original Flylady's advice and can so tell a difference in the house and the rest of the family are delighted too - its all good!!

    Have had my own list of things to do this week as had a bit of disruption lately but to be able to get up to go to the (clean) bathroom in the night without tiptoeing around stuff all over the bedroom floor feels like a total luxury!!

    Will be joining in on the proper list as of next week but just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration

    am dressed, dailies done...have added S&S kitchen sink to daily list...and have written Toots/frog/'if it needs doing put it down' list ('cause I was angsting about what was what,then realised it was my list and I could put down 'sneeze regularly' if I wanted as long as I planned to do it!!!! Well maybe not, but you know what I mean.)

    Sounds like a few hugs need to be sent out into the ether...so hugs and spoons heading out to whoever wants/needs to catch a few.

    I am now going to wash and spray the shelves in the base cupboards in my kitchen so that I can put pans etc away. Not sure what this will do to my back and knees, but I need to do it.

    See you later xx
