    I'm not washing the floors at this time of day as it will make ute condensation worse.

    Ours is worse than ever this year, is yours? We wonder if it is due to insulating the loft? The new windows have not made a jot of difference and considering I hate them too it is a huge waste of money:(:mad:

    Evening all,

    We have just had the power returned :j:j been off since 9 so it was starting to get a bit cold.

    Glad it is back on

    Scottish flyladies old and new hope you are all safe from the weather and not without power.

    Floors were moped and kitchen sink cleaned. I have an hour of peace now with DS1 at work, DS2 in bed not feeling well and DS3 at athletics. DH won't be home for ages

    Goodintentions glad DH is home - what does he do?

    I can put it off no more, I have to read the docs for tomorrow nights meeting.

    Flip today has flew in...:eek:
    OH went to AU and he's to go back tomorrow for 9.30 to stay until friday, if he's fine at the weekend he can stay home or if he feels it's too soon he can go back for another week. It was very strange being there today and seeing some of the people and hearing their story's. All very sad...:( It was all very strange and we seen a blast from the past, haven't seen her in 10 years. Some things just never change..

    I'm hoping to get a good bit done when OH is away and to get my sleep.. Fingers crossed this will be his last visit to any sort of hospital..

    Poohbear glad the fires out and hoping there isn't too much cleaning to be done.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    I would like to join in please just to have some variety to the household tasks. Today, I swept and washed the kitchen floor, and dusted/polished and vacuumed the living room.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Well first day back at work and I'm shattered this evening and there wasn't even any kids in! So far all I've done is swapped the WM and TD over and cooked and ate tea. I need to pop round next door to see if they've got a parcel for me - I went earlier on but there was no-one in - but I don't want to go back out into the cold. I just want to sit and hibernate but I suppose I ought to do something. Making DD's bed would be a start.

    Pooh - glad everyone's ok.

    Vanilla - hope this stay sorts everything out.

    Anyone fancy joining me for a HHC @ 7?

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
