    just to add..I love my under stairs cupboard too...its DD2s bedroom and always the tidiest room in the house x


    ooooh is your son Harry Potter?


    My DS keeps putting his sleeping bag in our under the stairs cupboard as he wants it to be his bedroom like in Harry Potter before he went to Hogwarts... but our under the stairs cupboard is a large walk in pantry...which i love.

  • hi flyladies,

    Well, I was SUPPOSED to come back after a months break for moving house - that was April last year *hangs head in shame*.

    Desperately needing to get back into some sort of routine with the housework, it all fell by the wayside when I returned to work after maternity leave last April. Given that I now have a very active 18 month old and am pregnant with #2 (assuming everything ok after scan tomorrow) - things need sorted!

    So, I'm back, or at least kind of. I dont always have access to a PC (post mostly from my phone which is slow).

    So, FL stuff. Yesterday's list complete other than vacuuming - that'll get done with the living room today (open plan) and not a bean done from today's list! Done the WM/TD shuffle and that's about it.

    Study being left today and concentrate on living areas - that's OHs territory and is full of stuff I shouldn't really be lifting which needs to be attic bound. Living bits more important today anyway, friend round later and tenancy inspection tomorrow.

    Ok, i have done the school run and DD told me she didn't have her track suit and trainers for netball after school, so I went up to get them to take them up at lunchtime and I couldn't open her drawers as they were so full!!! I have sorted through those and got a pile to get rid of. Now to the shop and on with college work.....xx

    Good morning good morning :) I have a day off, unsure how that happened but I like it. Well ok not quite off but no meetings/out of houses until 5.30pm which is boys football then trampolining. Felt really tired last night so left DP to sort pupster and went upstairs to study at 10.30pm. Next thing I knew it was 7.35am & his friend was waiting outside to be let in. Must have needed it!

    Greenbee ((hugs)) for you :(

    Anyone else watching the Syrian moron on the television? No wonder that country is screwed up! I have friends who are Syrian and talk of him, didn't believe he was quite so odd

    Right today, study NEEDS to be done, housework NEEDS to be done..... Coffee first while I work on a list

    My under stair cupboard contains - festive gibble, kitchen overflow of cleaning products, gadgets etc paperwork from ages ago that's important, 90 energy saving lightbulbs, packaging stuff like bubble envelopes, all tidy now but still in there
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just to let you all know I'm now single again, so will have more time for flying :cool: And I'm off my food as a result, so making the most of it and hoping it'll mean I lose weight :D I blame the ex for me being lazy and getting fat over the last year... in fact, I guess I get to blame him for everything for a bit, just to help me get over him...

    (((hugs))) greenbee Feel free to blame him. I do that and I'm stuck with mine :D

    No but I watched it the other day when The Arab League representative was saying there was no evidence of the army attacking civilians:eek:
    Is it the same guy who used to work as Sadam's PR man?

    On the flying front. I did manage to get moving. Since 7.15 I have DW x 1, WM on, S&S'd one bathroom, made all the beds, Frontlined the dog, made packed lunches, ate breakfast, done the school run & done 24 min brisk walk(without dog so will walk with him later- too many pee stops! Just clearing e-mails then onto todays lists

    Morning all, kids all decluttered to school. Rhys is having a chill out in our bed watching tv, i think he might be coming down with something. :(

    So far this morning i've switched over the wm and td stuff, put dw on, checked out what deals are at MrT's and MrS's (i'll get them when i'm in the town later), ordered some ink for printer, sorted some clean clothes.

    Right cuppa decluttered so i'll go make more of a start. Sister due up at 10.45 and we're going to our first meeting at WW, i'm actually looking forward to it..:D
    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.

    Morning flying communities and welcome returners and newbies

    Got nowhere so far today as the boiler is broken so DH is having a tinker. It would happen 6 months after we stopped the warranted as it was getting very expensive because it has passed th 10 year mark. Plumber who installed it said, oh I'm surprised it's still going most of those packed up in 5-7 years.....:eek:

    So Pollyanna says at least it is mild right now, we have an immersion and the AGA. We have about 2 nights of logs in the wood store so tomorrow I may have to get DS1 to help me chop some but with his work/physio and my meeting it may be tough. Also I won't leave the open fire on with the kids in the house and I'm out the next 3 nights at meetings.

    Right I need a list and I'm off to do an hours flying then an hour paperwork. Got to be at work by 1pm and then a meeting tonight so not a whole load of time.
