    I have done the basics today plus a load out to dry. 6 eb@y items end tonight, 4 with bids. Littlest one deffo has the pox. Kind of relieved she has it now, and not in 3 weeks when we fly to espana!

    Both tots are asleep ATM so I'm browsing. For all this heat, my feet are cold...

    They are supposed to be going to granny and gramps tomorrow night so Saturday will be ironing day. Might even get up in loft to see what suitcases we have!

    Been a neglectful fly lady, got a grouchy clingy snotty boy so flying is limited to what I get done when he is in bed.

    The positives however are, I've only the washing from today to get ironed, I've cleaned the recycling wheeley bin and I've washed and dried the car seat.

    Today I begin to reclaim my house and order will be restored...

    washing on line; stuff in WM

    bedroom floor cleared and currently dusted with flea powder...

    Can I just ask where can you get some flea powder? I think our puppy got some fleas from another dog as she keeps scratching herself. I'd given her some drops a couple of weeks ago but I don't think they worked. I'm bathing her tonight and then giving her fr0ntline. I'd given fipr0line(?) last time, but I'm wondering if our carpets are infested as well so flea powder could help.

  • Not much done today really as met an old friend for lunch. I had done a fair amount in the bathroom earlier this week, but it can always use more can't it?

    I did make stock from 4 chicken carcasses that were taking up too much room in the freezer. Hate that job but it does make good soup.

    And good news at college parents evening - the elder son sounds as if he is coming good at last - it has been a long 2 terms.
