Can you sneak a rest when the two littlies have a nap this afternoon. Actually, I am probably too late as the others will be home soon.

no chance.. it is half term here so they are all off plus Squeak napped while we were at opticians and Dot has been awake since I kicked her (and OH!!) out of bed at 1pm.. after she eventually went to sleep at 4am!

Jue I'm so sorry it was such a horrible ordeal; you have my full sympathy.

Nanamia I think I joined in January 2010; having since then done all the decluttering/flinging etc with much help and encouragement from the ladies here, I have ensured that hotspots/gibble piles etc are not allowed to reform, so I'm now working from my own lists (a specific room per day of the week, eg Tuesday is Lounge Day) as from here on, it'll work better for me.

I still greatly value the companionship and encouragement of the Flyladies, even though I'm not following the lists as posted.:o

Indeed, I just cleared the last "to do" item from my desk - applying for my new CEA card; I had the form, photo and copy of my DLA letter, just needed to write my cheque, which I've just done, and Mr LW can pop it in the mail on his way to work tomorrow.;)

how do you go about starting your own 'toots list' please? im coming to realise lists is the way to keep organised as i used to have lists in my head but they are never successful and easily get forgotten
not sure how clever it was to do the kitchen surfaces before the pancake fest. DS spilt icing sugar all over they tried to squeeze the dregs of an empty choc syrup container over the pancakes which resulted in blowing clouds of icing dust all over.
have fed and watered the kids just got to sort kit out for tonights club, ive cried off the govs meeting but think ill still have to go with the kids to do the register so will take my box of tissues and crocheting

have a good night all

Could I join in please. Sorry if this post's a bit of a mess. I'm not brilliant on the computor. I'm also sorting out my parent's bungalow but I'll try to get as much as possible done, but some weeks I can only do level 1 if I've got a lot of shifts to work. Thanks.

Woohoo whilst emptying my hand bag as part of my flying I found £20 which we thought we had spent at the weekend. Going to give SIL £40 towards Xmas instead of £20 as thought we didnt have it.

evening all

flew this morning as I bleached the shower tiles & grout after my shower this morning (and while i was still in it - you KNOW what I mean - good job the heating was on;)). Got more bids on flea bay - not only am I getting rid of carp i am making it pay.

And lastnight went to Mr S in Dronfield while DD was at Jiu Jitsu and they had a 70% off sale - so got a kettle (because I need a new one - not using it until after the refit) and a crepe pan (because I've always wanted one but ditto - saving it - and it's a proper Tefal one, too - was( instead of £30 and kettle was £17.99 instead of £59.99). They had a Breville stick blender too but I didn't need one;)
