    I'm in thank you for the lists.

    I love the kitchen list as I did the oven on Satruday, and haven't used it since, so it is crossed off!!!

    Greenbee~ forgive me, but I am confuse (easy to do I know) but I thought OH had moved out, is he moving back in? either way hope all goes well.

    He never actually moved in... Just stayed here while he was looking for somewhere to live, then gave up his flat to move nearer his kids and is currently living as a lodger in a friend's spare room round the corner from his ex... Maybe he's moving in with me to get out of playing taxi for teenagers quite so frequently :cool:

    Me again!

    Don't post for a couple of weeks then 2 in one night - I'm sure there's a joke about buses in there somewhere;)

    In all seriousness flyladies - i've been browsing since my 1st post and there's a poster started a thread called 'Hoarding... not just on tv' - sorry i don't know how to do links but at the moment it's on the first page of old style.

    She's asking for practical help in sorting and clearing her mum's home as the council is about to evict her - she says that there is over 20 yrs of filth to shift and stardrops isn't touching it, so I thought that if i made all you lovely people aware of her thread you might be able to offer her some heavy duty practical advice.

    take care

  • Thanks for the list Dusty and last weeks juliejim - I didn't post last week as I am revising for an exam (tomorrow afternoon :eek: ) but hoping that from tomorrow night I will actually have time to clean the house again :o It is a bit of a tip as I haven't even been doing the dailies properly, just the basics to keep everything hygenic :o

    Anyway, my point is, i am in for this week :D

    Thanks for the list Dusty.

    I'm ready for school tomorrow. I just need to make the lunches so it's not a rush in the morning (we have been sleeping late).

    Loads of washing and ironing done today and a roast lamb dinner for 12 cooked today. I feel quite virtuous!

    I've exchanged all my Mr T vouchers in order to partake in the voucher exchange. We got $680 off a garden furniture set (some flyladies may remember my ranting about DH using the wooden garden table as a base for a disposable BBQ with predictable charred table result).

    This is all part of operation "get the garden respectable" for DS1's 18th birthday celebration in July. We've spent half term acquiring plants and filling pots and hanging baskets. We have also ordered a lovely big window box for the front.

    My inherited ring needs a new coronet (the part the holds the stones), several claws have broken and I could lose stones, it being an inherited ring it has had several repairs in the past and it's a bit bodged now. We have had further conversations with the jewelery shop and they are going to value the stones to see if it is viable to spend 2K having it repaired. It is all academic as we don't have that kind of money for that kind of thing:(.

    Yet again football is on both TV's. I am glad I am going out on Tuesday and Friday night.

    Hi
    Thanks for the list, I'm in again. Nursery bags ready and clothes out for tomorrow. Done ironing tonight. Is still some drying though, but the basket is currently empty. Back aches now... Still it's all put away in correct home.

    Windowsill of doom is in operation again. I started (but didn't finish) my last challenge. Stuff to exit is on the landing windowsill where I take it downstairs as I go past... Still more to do in spare room cupboard. But the rest of my declutter challenge went very well. I'm amazed how much I got done last week. Both bins are full, and church lady took bags of stuff for the sale. And more waiting to leave!

    Night no 3 in my new bedroom, loving new bed. So very comfortable. Compared to sleeping on the join of two singles, lol
