    Morning all!

    Today's list looks do-able - the basics at least! Got 5 lots of washing done and dried yesteday - if I feel motivated enough I might even get that ironed tonight too!

    Dog 2 has his boosters at the V E T S tonight, first time we've taken him there for anything (his first visit was when no 1 had to have some stitches removed - we took him along to get him used to the place, the week after we got him). To say he was not amused is an understatement, bit of a shock as no 1 loves it there - she's a 'frequent flyer', has 4 ops last year - all the vet nurses know her by name and want to look after her, she's a sweetie! Although he's the same breed he's not so easy going (feisty would be an understatement!) so tonight will be 'interesting'!

    Went to see Mary Berry last night too - she gave a talk at our local library - she was lovely, she had some interesting stories and was very kind to the children that had gone to see her - one had even baked some tiny cupcakes for her, beautifully decorated too!

    Oh well, shower, wipe bathroom down (good habits learned, eh!) and get ready for work! Hope everyone has a good day today.
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
    :heart2: RIP Clio 1.9.93 - 7.4.10 :heart2:
    :p I WILL be tidy, I WILL be tidy! :p

    Morning all, no floors or painter here yet...:( I was hoping to have had the floors down by now and maybe even the skirting done. Suppose i'll just have to see what will happen today. On a plus i did get my wallpaper yesterday.

    OH not doing great, i think it's more stress has done it. The HTT have been back out again and will be out for awhile. I just can't be bothered with them, they've already said that their doctor will decide weather SS should be contacted so natural i hit the roof. I'm sick of them contacting SS just because there is a box that needs ticked....:mad: They have already told me that if it was up them the SS wouldn't be called because there not needed in any way but it lies with the doctor who hasn't seen OH in years.

    So flylady friends can i please ask for loads of ''get a grip'' vibes please before i have a wobbler.. xx
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Calming vibes for Vanilla are on the way.

    Thinking of mrs-moneypenny today

    Vali Hope your workmen turn up and finish your floors etc

    DS2 has to go to school in sports kit for sports relief. No warning and he doesn't have any. So joggers, t shirt & trainers will have to do. I hate themed days they don't mix well with autism.
    DS1 has an insect day :)

    WM is on.

    Seafarer's hope little one is better soon

    I must get up and at'um. back later
  • Hooray last day of term so no more alarm clocks for a while.
    Boo last day of term so boys underfoot AND EATING for 2 weeks.

    Going to use today to finish all those jobs not done this week, and also baking for the return of the Gannets.

    Car boot sale on Sunday because youngest wants a new bike. Good opportunity for decluttering, just as long as we don't buy anything!
    :)Motto for 2013: GET MORE DONE! AGAIN
    Do an hour a day on my BOOK! Also, lose weight. And be nicer

    Morning all, haven't had the time to do much flying or reading posts this week but have got washing on the line this morning and recycling out and will try to take a proper lunch break today and get some ironing done. Work now so catch up later.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Washing out, followed the plan all week so may do a house blessing and leave it at that, until next week.

    FlyLady sets her timer for 10 minutes to work on each of 7 ways to bless your home:

    Vacuum
    Dust
    Quick Mop
    Polish Mirrors and Doors
    Purge magazines/catalogs
    Change Sheets
    Empty all trash cans.
  • Morning all, im off to allotment with dd to tidy it up before it gets forcibly removed from me, its not too bad really, but heard there might be some more cold weather/snow (sorry peeps, just what i heard), so not wanting to put stuff in ground yet, then back to finish flying with gusto, have a nice day everyone.

    I am officially doing nothing today except perhaps post my eb@y bundles. Brat no 2 screamed all night she has chicken pox right in her lady bits poor little lamb, she just can't get comfy. Even now, after I sat her in a cool bath for half an hour and dabbed metanium on, she is still squatting every couple of minutes I guess to sort or stretch things out down there :(

    Anyway, none of us got any sleep, and I still can't settle her now. She's had some nappy off time, and when it warms up a bit I might get her out in the garden with a bare bum.

    So that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

    Away with the fairies :beer:
