    Afternoon Folks :wave:

    Lists are up for Thursday and Friday, life has been a bit hectic here atm, I have not been ignoring you, I will sort out snowmen / stars in a short while, I hope, if not some time tonight. (I really do feel like a crp leader this week, the coalition 3 may have to be the coalition 2, sorry x)

    Flying wise, only the very basics have been done,
    Bins
    Rubbish out, bin men came today!
    Floors done
    Cat fed
    DW done
    Us fed

    and that is about it.

    Off to catch up and chuck some fluffy mules about if need be! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Kazw (((HUG))) you're not a crp leader! Even Flylady Leaders have lives to lead, which often need to take priority over online stuff.

    Thanks for the Thurs/Fri lists - I see an item on Friday aimed at me!:rotfl:There's no kids here (unless you count a 61-year-old hubby):D so I get a time-out with Level 2 on Thursday.;) Oh, and we have just one pair of wellies, which we share - Mr LW has small feet for a bloke, and if I borrow his thick socks, his wellies fit me!:rotfl:

    I'm all finished today, though I'll give the surfaces a final once-over after dins, but I haven't dusted the light - I thought it not a good idea to risk standing on the step-stool while I'm so shaky, so Mr LW's going to do it tonight.:A

    All the declutter missions for the week are either done or not applicable (I actually pre-empted Fridays. unwittingly, by getting Mr LW to weed his magazine rack Monday night). And all the socks here are, I'm pleased to say, already happily married.:D

    Ooh - reminds me, I still have washing outside; better fetch it in before it drops dark (it reminded me because there are socks in amongst it.):rotfl:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Afternoon all,

    I've been sat here since the school run watching my Ebay listings finish :money:. I must get some more on. I need to shift myself but Ds1 has just made me a steaming cup of coffee, so i'll have to drink that 1st. Then i'll go and do something. Ds1 is making himself and Ds2 beans on toast for tea because that's what they fancied. They've both had school dinners so i'm not too worried this once. I stuffed myself silly out for lunch with my Sisters so i won't be eating anytime soon and i'll do OH something quick when he arrives. Just realised Ds1 has done 2 nice things off his own back, hmmm he must want something. :p

    Right so HHC at 4.30 anyone?

    I have her friend here too as her mum has a meeting and her dad is working late.

    Take it easy LW
    The bloody cat has obviously found a pond somewhere as he keeps bringing them in. Not had one for a few weeks though, hope he doesn't start again, we had 4 one morning!

    We have had the same problem all summer since creating a small wildlife pond in our garden. Never 4 in a morning mind. I hate the noise of a frog screaming. We had one yesterday.

    Kaz - you have done a great list. Remember I'm at home most of the time and love avoiding doing things - I did hardly any flying on my leadership week :rotfl: I'm working most days of my next turn so it maybe a very different experience.

    Treated myself to some new eco microfibre cloths for the AGA in TKMaxx so off to try them out in a minute once the cake is out of the AGA.
