    Happy birthday Lady Liberty we've not been introduced but can feel the love for you on here so you are obviously one very special lady :) Are you a flylady founder?

    Sorry for the late list ladies, just having a touch of the teenage meltdowns to deal with (I still miss the roll eyes smilie).

    The things I was due to get done this evening I haven't managed still that just means even more to do tomorrow - all kids back in school by the afternoon - can't wait for an hour's peace. DH also away until next week from tomorrow

    Dusty - and juliejim, your input on this forum is really appreciated, im sure by everyone, on top of running your own home - yes i know the teenage meltdowns, i have a couple of teenagers myself. The lists have really helped me to get my place more organised. I don't always finish them, or deviate, but even when the place falls into disarray, it seems so much easier to put it all back together - dare i say, im enjoying cleaning. I even wait sometimes for the next days one, god what an anorak I just wanted to say thank you.

    Morning All

    Well I didn't have 5 mins to myself yesterday but I'm hoping to have a couple of hours tonight to do some stuff although I've got some scouting stuff to do too. It's raining here so looks like I'll be getting wet walking the dog.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all!

    Chucking it down here and will be for most of the day I think - oh well, not as if we don't need it.

    Governor's meeting tomorrow night so I'd best make sure I get as much done tonight as possible - been lazy with the ironing again, got to iron work clothes again this morning - don't know why I'm so bad about it! Must pull myself together tonight.

    Have a good day everyone!

    Morning all, managed to get a good bit done last night including cleaning out the fridge. Plan today is to pay for the new sofa and do a MrA shop. Need to make a few phone calls as well, mainly to get the tank emptied.

    DD now ready for school and just waiting on the taxi. When she goes i'll get the boys up. :D

    Updated list...if it's not on the list it's done..

    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.

    Raining here too. And cold and windy :( quite fancy a duvet day but have stuff to do that involves leaving the house, so can't get away with that!

    Better get up in a minute and maybe doi the hoovering while my laptop is waking itself up!

    DD2 has scoffed 2 bowls of cereal. DS3 has just surfaced.

    The front door lock is broken again. I'm sure it's only 12-18 months since we were fleeced by a locksmith. This is the 4th time in the six years we have lived here. How much does a new door cost? It's got to be better than forking out £200 for new locks every year:(
