Had a very sluggish and tired day - wheezy, too. I'll do some more in a bit, before DH comes home from the club. On the other hand, I've done quite a bit of organising, thinking and research. Decorations will be up here until Sunday or Monday - depending on how I feel. They don't go up until just before Christmas, usually, and I love the room like this.

Same here on all counts. I'll do a bit more paperwork/planning/organising tonight and make a fresh start tomorrow.

Just done the dallies today. I really need to get stuck into the ironing tomorrow if I am to acheive the ironing challenge! All the remaining turkey has been curried, sliced and put in the freezer. I have the most gorgeous bit of gammon from M&S but that is still in the fridge and I have a slice every now and then.

My returns/sale shopping was a bit of a waste of time. Nothing worth buying. I really want some new black knee length boots but can't find anything I like. I am always like this with shoes and boots. The style I want doesn't exist.

I'm a bit narked with a DF. They have invited themselves over here on NYD. We are out at a party - estimated time of getting home approx 2.30am. I have tried to let her down gently saying we won't be up to much but it's fallen on deaf ears. I gave her any number of days we could meet but because she or he was working they couldn't make it. Their son has numberous food allergies and is very fussy about what he wants to eat - I could really do without it on a day when I want to gather myself for the back to work/school ritual.

Sorry I've been waffling. When I wake up early again tomorrow morning I WILL do a 2 x HHI at least.

Hello Rach and Quillion. lovely to see returners x

Hugs flyfriends it all seems to be getting a bit much for some of you now. Just think in a week's time we will all be back to our usual routines so deep breaths all round.

anyone know what tomorrows tasks are?
Ive already sorted the shopping out....as im 27 weeks pregnant tomorrow i have decided to not go into tesco tomorrow and have gtreated myself to have it delivered yey me, i have my 4 year old off and wanted to save on petrol and the nightmare of parking/ putting ds1 in trolley whilst he kicks off about it/stand in a que paying for it all and bagging/ then getting everything and ds1 back in the car to come back and walk down our path with shopping and knowbody to help me.

It cost £2.50 from mr T's and will be delivered around 5pm till 7pm so i can crack on with other things and not have to worry about a thing, i also only got the things i needed and only that to last us another 2 weeks.

Got our bed to strip and wash thats the only thing i didnt get done today, need to put a ton of washing away tomorrow too as only started this flylady thing in the last few days, ive also got like 1000 socks to pair omg i hate it, any tips to stop socks going astray?

Flying aims for 2012 - hmmm - welllll - must not let myself get sidetracked by internet and do more:o Maybe I should get lists up on phone and do them before I let myself push the laptop on button - could be a reward. hmmm would I stick to that - would probably collapse in an exhausted heap after a full hours flying & need a cup of tea and HH surfing:rotfl:

Morning lovelies! :wave:

Hiya Rach :hello:

Mainly whinging it today although I do have to put all the recycling out for collection. I packed up my room yesterday so that's one room done, I'll just bung teenie some binbags and some boxes and he can do his own, littley's will probs be done next week when she's back at school as it will require a lot of flingage!

DW will be loaded shortly and benches wiped, quick tidy of living room and then whatever takes my fancy :cool:

WM on. Kettle boiled!

I've overslept! DD1 has gone off for her 2nd driving test at 9.17am. Passing vibes please!!!

More shockingly DS1 got out of bed to go to work without me getting him up.

I need to liase with my SIL about collecting DS2 from the panto today. I did manage to get him some tracksuit bottoms in the sales yesterday but I only have 7 days to return them.

One of the teenagers has put the DW on. I am so shocked I think I need a lie down!
