    Just had a telephone call from the boys in blue (well one of) and he is going to 'have a word'. Don't know if its the best idea but I don't ever want to be yelled at, in the street, and have accusations flung at me like that again.

    Morning all :)

    I've been absent from the thread and I've not been flying :o I've been having a rubbish time at work so haven't felt like doing anything at home.

    Today we're having the Virgin Media man come round to install our new internet & TiVo box :j As such, I have until 1pm to make the house look a lot nicer than it does at the moment ;)

    So, ignoring all Flylady lists, my list for today is:

    • [STRIKE]Dishes[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]S&S in kitchen[/STRIKE]
    • Clean loo
    • Clean shower
    • S&S round rest of bathroom
    • Clean mirrors
    • [STRIKE]Hoover house[/STRIKE]
    • Organise clean washing and put away
    • Two loads of washing out on the line
    • Tidy away airers in living room
    • Tidy and dust in living room
    • Move piles of DVDs so that engineer can get near the telly ;)

    As you can see, I've started some of it, but have quite a long way to go before 1pm!! I would also like to get some tidying done in the craft room and look at selling some excess crafty items. I'll pop on later and let you know how I get on.

    In better news, I lost 2.5lbs at Fat Club this week and only have three more to lose :D:D

    Morning all, busy last night getting my police check done and dropping of the raffle prizes. Must have 40 items/vouchers and still loads to collect. :D

    Plan today was to go for a family picture but i've cancelled. I've seen another place that would take 'more my kind of pictures' so i'll hold off and get it done over the summer holidays.

    Today will be flying and gardening, few other things to get done too so i'll update later.

    flying_fresian well done on your weight loss..:T
    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.

    Morning all

    Lovely sunny day again here, left washing out over night so I need to see if it's dry, next lot is on.

    Very busy week has left me a bit under the weather and the house has suffered with a lack of flying so today will be pottering, tidying as I go and delegating to DH (he's away on his first errand already :D).

    Aims:
    Clean bathroom
    Tidy everywhere
    hoover downstairs
    plant out runner beans
    find the table
    masses of paperwork

    Best make a start!

    and as I say to my children 'if you can't say something nice about somebody then don't say anything at all' (not all thoughts that pass through our brains need to be verbalised ;)or typed :cool:)

    Morning, not getting involved in the 'he said, she said' as I've not read any of the other threads. I'm sorry to hear about your husband though lessonlearned.

    Piggers DS looks very smart indeed.

    My little monster is struggling this morning, she has been dosed with antihistamine and ibuprofen, she is very, very spotty and has a temperature. Flying will be minimal.
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

  • What a gorgeous day - on my ?th load of washing, lovely mountain or ironing growing unfortunately. In the Moam house today, stand too still and you may get turfed in the washer!

    May do a spot of ironing later, after gardening, BBQ, and the usual Mr T run. Whilst having a lot of fun we are going to have the odd family HHC - the house will not sort itself!

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
