    Hi everyone, I've been following the flylady lists now for nearly a year and I'm definitely a lot more organised, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and love lists so this is great for me :)

    I've fallen off the exercise band wagon too so I'm going to add exercise to my list...then I can do it and cross it off in the same way, cos let's face it, to some people exercise is a chore too!

    Monday - kitchen

    Wipe your worktops[/STRIKE]

    30 minutes to spare

    Morning all. On my own today, so about to eat, will then get dressed and take my lovely doggies for a longish walk before starting on the garden. Have a good day everyone. I'll try to pop in later.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all!

    MIA yesterday, didn't do much flying but took the hounds out on a lovely walk mid rain! We went to the park that has an enclosure for them to run in - beagle heaven! Can't usually let no 2 off as he's not been with us that long and does not come back! Having assisted in the searches for a couple of missing beagle s lately I don't want to go through that myself!

    Off later to buy some new bedding - we got some backout curtains last week as the dogs can't seem to understand that just because it's light at 5am does not mean it's breakfast time! It seems to have worked a bit, they still wake up at silly o'clock but can be persuaded to go back to sleep for a while. The curtains are a different colour to what we've had before, and thinking back we have had this bed linen for over 7 years - it's a bit threadbare in places! Looking online I seee Dunelm Mill have a sale - very MSE! And one of the bed sets is just the right colour - that's today sorted then!

    Hope everyone has a good day today - off shopping soon!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

    uropachild - glad I'm not the only one! I tend to get up at 6 in the morning before DD and husband wake up and get exercising, but have been having a few too many 'accidental' lie ins recently...

    Does tea count as drinking water? I've been very conscious lately that all I seem to drink throughout the day is tea. I think I need to drink more water, maybe I will join you in adding drinking water to my list. :)

    Best get going on my list now!

    Morning All

    I have been up for hours as usual. 2nd load is in the WM, 1st load is on the line. Just going to make sure all the bins are empty as it's bin day assuming they're coming but I haven't had a leaflet to say otherwise. I'm halfway through the dishes - I made a start but then cooked breakfast. I need to empty my car at some point today as it's going tomorrow and it needs cleaning. Suppose I ought to get dressed at some point too!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all, we've had a few days away to the beach which was lovely. Mind you i'm glad to be home now, DS1 took sick on saturday, OH took sick sunday night, DS2 has been sick all of last night and DS3 has been sick this morning. All vomiting and not making it to the bathroom. _pale_

    House was left spotless so all in order. I think i'll get some stuff listed on ebay and gumtree, need to start pulling in the funds again.

    Hope everyone who was feeling poorly is feeling better.
    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
