    Evening all

    Back from governors meeting and I've done tomorrow's list.

    I have not actually started today's list yet.

    I need to do a HH in the kitchen to clean up from dinner before DH gets back with DS3 from cricket (probably hungry). Anyone care to join me?

    been to Mr T's for a new lightbulb - gone for an 11 watt instead of an 8 watt (bathroom and the other should have lasted longer than that...)

    *rubs dazzled eyes*

    fed up (sorry) of whinging kids who seem to need to go to the loo every half-an-hour or within 5 minutes of playtime and a rash or a lump is really NOT my problem - it won't KILL them and the kid who does have something to moan about says nothing...

    Lol at the cleaner in the bath with the vino - must have been a flylady taking the half hour pampering seriously! Still - one way of cleaning the bath!

  • Hey everyone.
    Still not able to keep up with the thread. Not a great day fly wise but I made sure I did something. I was really late home from work this evening so tired and worn, but don't want to get out of the habit of doing this.
    Early night tonight then hopefully feeling more with it again tomorrow.

    Looking forward to having a good go at the kitchen tomorrow. It's looking better than I've seen it in years, but I unfortunately have 20 cupboards in the kitchen so there's lots still to do. :rotfl:

    Tough one for me today. I've been at work all day, exhausted now, and I've two rooms that qualify here. The worst has a large desk, is completely cluttered with bills, papers, computer stuff, and has little visible carpet. It's a 'close the door when anyone comes round' room. So I'm using the time to start a declutter. Trouble is finding places for all the clutter to go - I'm binning as much as I can in a dot-to-dot manner. Upbeat music on and keep reminding self of 'babysteps'.
