I've put the washing out and put the wm back on. Ds1 has washed up the lunch dishes and Ds2 is tidying up his mess in the living room. Once that's done we're going to go to the post office and then the park. I'm hoping to get my list done when we get back.0

happy birthday LL, welcome to the newbies, especially newgirly, and hello returners.
I have been off sick for 3 weeks, and really up and down healthwise so have not done much flyladying. Having done a bit before though meant the place hasn't descended into too much chaos. Am hoping to go back to work next week, so thought a bit of gentle flying would get me back into routine. DD was on inset day today so got her to help me
. Am aiming for level ones, anything else a bonus.

ktichen needs wiping down as despite mine and the builders best efforts to control dust by gaffer taping the cat flap shut both sides round the power cable extension lead it has got in. it turns out my double glazing at the back is faulty as had a shower in the kitchen when they hosed down the wall. so that has to get replaced sooner rather than later! it wasnt bad, just enough to go ohhhh carp and grab whatever towels i had to hand. thankfully they have come up clean after being chucked in on a 90 degree wash.
off to wipe it all down whilst waiting on asda delivery.0 -

Afternoon all, :hello:
I'm back in this week so thanks Dusty and Juliejim for the lists.
Floors in the livingroom and front hall went down over the weekend so another job of the list, so much easier to keep. New sofa should be here friday so all bums shall have a seat at long last..:rotfl:
So far today i've sweep all hard floors, gathered all dirty washing, folded and put away all clean washing, cleared livingroom floor, cleared front hall floor, wm x 5, dw x 2 and done some tiding in our room.
Updated list if it's gone , it's done...
