LJ I'm so pleased your cat is still with you a for a while longer, bet you feel on top of the world, give him a little cuddle from me x

lil_meI think you're doing amazing considering how poorly you are, I'd be tucked up in bed all day so hats off to ya

Almost finished just got kitchen floor to do, my shoulder is still aching so gonna rest it and do the floor after tea, have a nice afternoon everyone x

Another cuppa and another 15 minute stretch I think.. the 30 minutes I've done so far has made a difference, hopefully it won't look so overwhelming in another 15 minutes or so.. *sigh*

LJD1 thank you re meal - i would have felt sick sunday morning if i had gone and spent all that money!! feel better about it now as have arranged 'play date' with children with some of the friends for sat so i will get to see them - it wasn't the meal that bothered me but missing out on seeing everyone

have got huge stock pot of chicken stew on the go for dinner and threw some veg into different pan to make veg soup too for lunch tomorrow. DD2 sat up to the table throwing the veg - lucky some hit the pan too but she sat for an hour happy doing it bless her. :T

she is asleep now and dd1 home from preschool and has been doing some drawing but now wants tv so i am going to do a quick fly around dining room and kitchen before friend arrives later

am going to look at who's who too - i can't do this too scared people will now who i am and what my debts are from dfw site!!! :eek:

Good afternoon everyone,

So far ive washed DSs bedding and its hanging all around the house, made beds, swished bathroom and toilets, made a chocolate cake with LO, put a chicken in red wine casserole in the SC (never made it before, but it is smelling lovely!) wiped the kitchen down (including the floor again, some grated cheese fell out of the freezer, and boy, does it defrost quickly and make a mess!!!). Im pretty much on top of everything today, not sure how tho, cos i am really tierd, but having a good day flylady wise.
LJ - glad your cat is doing ok xx

Not much has been getting done here for last 48 hours, i seem to have caught a stomach bug and can't face moving around the house - lil-me I sympathise with you, hope you feel better soon.

I have put on two washes and just done a 27 fling around the computer desk but otherwise I will hold things over until I feel better.

Didn't even have any milk in the house for a cuppa at lunch, so need to go via the corner shop to school.

Okay so I couldn't just sit here and do nothing all day as you lot were making me feel guilty..plus the ebay pile fell over when I walked in the kitchen to get a coffee

So ATM I'm working my way through everything trying to sort it into New (unwanted pressies), used videos/DVD/CD, used books, clothes, toys, householdy things and a misc. You see my plan is to list ALL the books at the same time, then overlap with toys, overlap with videos/dvds and so on So far I have 2 storage boxes full and a BIG camping rucksack filled with stuff and no dining table :rolleyes: There isn't as much as I thought, at least not when it's sorted into piles...individual items is another matter :eek: Oh well I'll get there eventually. I'm hoping this raises some of the car repair money otherwise it will be September before we make up the costs... that doesn't include having to pay out for car tax at the end of the month which the savings were supposed to pay for :mad: I'm hoping that this time around Decluttering will PAY :rotfl: Off to pack boxes :wave:

That night-time routine sure helps when you're pushed in the morning..........managed to get dd to school just as the bell was ringing this today. My fault really as I had trouble getting out of bed. My dh put the BM on last night just before I was going up to bed, after about an hour I could smell something burning and some smoke came out the vent on the top!:eek: I peered inside and came to the conclusion a crumb must have been on the element in the bottom as there was no more burning or smoking but this meant I was up till 1:30am watching it as I daren't go to bed and leave it!:rotfl:

So, this morning:
DW emptied and started to refill
WM x2
TD x1 and 2nd load on airer
Went to the library and bought some bananas and beans on the way back
SC on - Chilli Con Carne
BM on - Banana bread - am watching for smoke!
MOGGINS LIST - Master bedroom - change bed linen,done dust, done hoover, done fling open those windows, done clear any hotspots that'll be the book mountain by the bed - um, I am reading them all honestly and clean out bedside cabinets.done Clear any developing floordrobe. done
Check understairs cupboard for any necessary tidying and decluttering.done

Another 15 minutes and I have a sparkly clean fireplace.. it is almost habitable in here!!

1 binbag of rubbish, 1 for charity shop and 1 1/2 for ebay and filled 1 wash basket. I even put the curtain track back up AND.. took down the 'Happy Birthday' banner which has been up since... JULY!!!!!!!!! unloaded and reloaded both washers and both dryers.

I'll do a couple of these ebay listings then do another 5 minutes in here I think.. I hate this room it is the house dumping ground.. and when it is moved from here it gets dumped in the middle room which is rapidly filling up again, we MUST do something in there soon (It is being decorated at easter so not long to clear it!)
