    I'm exhausted now.

    Master Bed stripped and remade
    Teddy bear has survived the wm
    Qc is in TD
    Ebay parcels wrapped (wish they all paid same day)
    Bathroom S&S
    LR dusted
    Normal laundry done
    MBR dusted

    Having a rest now still weak.
  • In my HHC i emptied the cupboard threw out the empty bottles rehomed 6 tins of deodrant, 1 can shaving foam, shampoos, hair stuff, nail polish. Wiped the cupboard and replaced what was meant to be in there. Washed down the livingroom door. Decluttered a bowl of DS1's carbonara that he brought in from his catering class with garlic bread (it would have been rude not to!!) and got a call from DS2 to say he's not coming in for lunch he's just going to eat at school. I'm off to SOMFA and do some cross stitching.

    *clambers back off the floor* FFP my bum is too big to budge up!

    Back from my sign language lesson after a detour, got a call to say one of my disabled swimmers has passed away so I've had to pop round and tell some of the others. She's Mum of 2 of our support workers to so doubly as hard. Popped into KFC for one of my swimmers and could have said hi to seafarers_wife if I'd figured who she was ...doh!

    Pigpen ((hugs)) your daughter is a credit to you and I'm sure she'll make as good a Mum, if she's half as fab she'll be amazing xx

    Anyway home now & trying to decide where to start. Downstairs loo door which is in the hall has a great big hand mark down it so I think I'll do that! Actually 15 mins tidy, painted door to wipe then see how many windows I can get done..... In a HHC starting 1 through to 1.30! Gives me time for a washer shuffle first
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Going to have a 15 min blast and then off for a walk to work off my KFC. Was good and only had a snack box lol. I did debate beeping and waving like a mad woman at Lil me, but decided not to as she wouldn't have known it was me.

    Got some leaflets to deliver so will do them and then head to the docs for bens next lot of jabs. Supposed I should get the chunky boy weighed when im there as he was last weighed on the 13th feb.

    Have returned nappies to Tesco (bought far to many)
    Returned faulty steriliser to boots
    Took huge bag of clothes and bedding to clothes bank
    Trooped up car with diesel and nearly fainted at the price! Need to look into more economical car as £70 to top up is a bit :eek: need to debate with DH when he's home do we buy another car and run 2 or do we downgrade to a smaller one. At the mo I'm leaning towards running 2 cars as we still need a diesel and big boot for going to my parents or his.

    Hello ladies (and any gents who may be out there)!

    I'm sure not many of you remember me, as I confess it's been a long while since I've been on here. Hopefully I'll be on here a bit more often soon though, as Moon and I are expecting our first baby on 23rd September, so I'll need to clean our hovel!

    Just wanted to share with my flylady friends.

    Hope you're all well!

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Sexymouse horray!!!!! I'm so so so so so pleased for you!!! Congratulations .... I came back today too ;) no bambinos thankfully done my fair share lol

    We've had that debate running 3 land rovers but decided when we worked out the cost difference and what we would loose on each car if we sold them, nah I love my car so tough and do less miles....

    Ok in my HHC and a little bit I

    Put bleach on a window frame after wiping it over (after I cleared it)
    Emptied DW, refilled DW, cleared a pile of gibble, cleaned 3 doors, tidied for over half an hour, put the huge pile of chicken minifillet in the slow cooker (1.6kg i think) so its cooked off as it is today's date, emptied all 3 bins....then

    Made myself a cuppa mmmmmm

    Ok next HHC 2.30-3 Sorry Mummyyof5 too comfy with this cuppa for now.... I can't clear the floor completely in those areas but I'm 'chipping' at that task
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Must be the week for "Returners" - me too - well kind of been lurking, but have lurked too long and achieved too little - always seem to be busy, whilst never actually getting the necessities done.

    Should be a good day to return - don't have a hall - there's a lobby but there's no point doing that as it needs demolishing, no family room, no study - but there far too many hot spots around the stairs, so I've no excuse not to deal with some of those.

    See you later - when I'm actually home to do stuff.

    Big hugs for you. I can't imagine that is something one would ever get used to.

    Congratulations to you both, I'm very excited for you.

    I have HH now before I do a friend a favour and pick up her DS and then I need to think about what I can leave for dinner between my two meetings.

    Quick HH tidying up for me now I've finally stopped the sugar shakes from 2 hours of skiing.
