Come on Andy!!

lol at the 4 guys supporting Murray with the t-shirts: M U R Y - are R and A getting the beers??

Back on topic: more washing on. It's very windy here and there's still another hour of light so stuff is still on the line. I have been decluttering also - I braved under the sink :eek:

:wave:Another one coming out of lurkdom here is if helps support this excellent thread. Like some others I struggle to keep our home as clean as I would like due to ill health/energy issues that are intermittant. So I have dipped in and out lurkwise over the last year.

Major motivation for getting on top of things is we're looking for a new lodger: nothing like showing someone round your home to see it with fresh eyes:eek:.
I've given the kitchen a much needed deep clean this week so hope keeping up with FL from now on will keep me on top of the kitchen.
Hall/stairs always clear, I just need to sweep and wach a bit more often.
Bathroom - fairly minimalist and never let clutter collect so easy to keep clean and have a bit of a routine there.

I've just discovered how fantatsic microfibre cloths are, and have bought quite a few:D

Come on Tim?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Do you have a secret time machine?

I wish! Go back and not do those naughty things I did!!

Just had umpteenth cup of tea - Murray is 1 set ahead at the mo - so time to put kettle on again and wash the cat's dishes - help - he's just come in with a mouse ....... time to rescue it I think.

Rowan_tree_2

Too late! We can usually rescue them alive and unhurt, but not this poor thing. Sorry if tmo.

I love cats but not their killing instincts; he doesn't often go hunting, thank goodness.

Evenin' all!

Just de-lurking to say I'm still around as well! Still flying & reading the thread when I can - just haven't had time to post. That said, I have just finished work for the summer, so I'll be around a bit more.

I like the weekly/daily lists, they help me keep on top of things in every room and Valli's idea of an extra 'job' to add in is a great one.

Lovely to see L-L and Natty posting again too!

love to all,

nicki_2

Just sort of caught up with the thread and I just wanted to say I like the thread the way it is!:) I've been lurking for ages and just popping in and grabbing the list then running and trying to complete them and usually failing miserably I want to get my house back, I miss having weekends off, and I need to get my work/life balance back again as I just seem to be working constantly or not at all

Right now I'm off to shove washing in the tumbledrier ready to put on tomorrow and heading for bed. I'm shattered. Its been a funny-as-in-weird day and I can't keep my eyes open any longer. I'll find my list and carry on tomorrow with more of a brain dump which I'm going to do now so hopefully I can sleep.

Night all xxxx

Just saw those four guys again and the missing ones haven't returned.. Do you think the four couldn't afford the R and A... lol. Still at least it gets them noticed..

Thank you to everyone for their warm welcomes! I haven't really done any flying today except the obligatory laundry tasks, cooking, washing up, ad S&S kitchen. I did give the fridge a good sort and clean though. And I will S& S bathroom before I roll into bed. I have been busy applying for jobs most of the day though so I have a good [STRIKE]excuse[/STRIKE] reason!

Tomorrow I plan to see how much more of the list I can get done. I will also be doing a few loads of laundry and then a couple of hours of ironing in the evening.

My list - if it's gone then it's done or not applicable! :j

Do you count the hours til you can make a break for home?

From the minute I leave my house... I am a wee bit attached to my squalor!

By 5pm his sister was sh!tfaced... and COOKING.. knocked food everywhere, smashed a mug, put her fingers in the flames to rescue a piece of pepper she had flicked everywhere. To the point their dad went home to get away from her! ... I am quite certain there is no need.. and the more time I spend in her company the more convinced I am she has an alcohol problem.
