Good Morning x

I'd forgotten just how rotten I feel in the mornings - I always wake up feeling as tho the hounds of hell have chased me through the night. However I know that the best way to shake off the dogs is to do something - so I'm up, ready for work, bed is made, rubbish is out including the 21 drinks cans :T, washing is arranged on radiators which are on low to take the chill off the house, breakfast is eaten - weetabix and a banana - so I shouldn't be wanting munchies by 10am, budgie has eaten breakfast and gone back to sleep - he doesn't do early lol,

and I'll be setting off in 5 minutes so I'd better get a shufty on.

have a lovely day everyone.

I had a very early start today as I have been having e mails from DS3 who is still away at sea since Thursday and last night they were about every half hour. He is not doing well and all I can do is continue to encourage him. He is in a black hole and has now admitted it has been like this for about a month. I am just waiting for his company office to open to speak to someone. He is almost home, maybe another week, but has convinced himself that he has failed and that we will all be ashamed of him.

So, I have already cleaned the two ovens, hobs, washed up and cleaned all surfaces.
Put all the racks from the ovens into the DW for a long hot wash. Made the fire so I get more free hot water.
Going to go back in there and get stuck in a bit more now I have read the list.

There is nothing quite like cleaning when stressed

ETA I collected my two cats yesterday. They are very timid as were found in a barn as tiny kittens and have been in the rescue centre ever since (18 months). I can't take any photos where they will show up as they are in their box and all we can see is four eyes!!

Morning all, i'm jumping back in again. Thanks for the lists..:A

Not a great start here this morning, 3 boys all poorlies so 2 still in bed and Rhys sitting up with me. Need to phone my course now at 9 to let them know i won't be in.

I plan to get the house sorted today and get the wallpaper down in the livingroom. OH can carry on with the polytunnel. Should be ready very soon.:D:j:j:j

Good morning, I'm new! :hello:

I'd love to join the fly ladies please? I am a generally tidy person but I tend to do a big whole house blitz every few weeks which then gradually gets untidy again and the cycle starts once more, so I'd love to have a bit of guidance on how to stay on top of things and do a little but everyday to make it easier for me.

A little about me... I've been married to my wonderful DH for nearly 3 years and I'm 28 weeks pregnant with our first baby so I might not be able to do everything on the lists everyday due to tiredness/back ache/general pregnancy niggles or things I shouldn't do! I will do my best though and hopefully I will be able to follow the list to keep on top of things when baby is here too.

I've just finished work after a 15 hour night shift so will be going to bed for a couple hours then will start my flying when I get up. I've already made a start though by putting a load of washing in the machine which can go while I'm asleep.

I'll post again later with a list of what else I've done.

I'm in! Thanks for the list Juliejim x

Loads to do today, but trying to motivate myself when surrounded by boxes & carp isn't easy. If I had a 'mojo mentor' to work with, it might help me regain it :-) Need to get myself up & dressed - anyone up for a HH Something at 10am?

Morning all, hello to newbies and returners.

Plan is to get all my dailies done and then pop to town to do a few bits before the sun appears.
