well done you Pigpen.
We have just got back from the co-op, butchers and toys r expensive. On to better things, cleaning.....
ds2 has a new train set, ds1 some playmobil. This means I have to make space for them. I will clear the toyboxes out. in a minute, just need a cup of tea and to clean the loos first...... and ooh look it is brighter outside so I could do some gardening.....'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
I am SO happy - the day I start to take in ironing to pay for the little luxuries - ie B'day and Christmas presents, I see the very thing I had in mind for DS1 b'day advertised in our local paper... a Bob the Builder scooter for £5 instead of £25!! And the kind chap advertising it has said he will deliver it, too...
I shall be attacking those baskets with gusto now - who knows what else it might lead to?!Is it home time yet?0 -

Hi, Hex! Still overcast and cold here. Good forecast for the weekend - so out then.
Pigpen - hope you enjoy being a Governor. I've done it for about 7 years. How do I put this - not what I expected
Lil-me - TNG must have fog on his runway - no sign of him since you gave hime take-off clearance.
Michelle, sorry about the job. Will go and read what you put previously.
DH is at home today, and is repairing the floorboards upstairs. He's hired a sander for Monday, so I'm planning to get them varnished next week.
Today I have:
Burgers – made and some frozen
Letter – written
Menu – planned
Farm shop – fruit and veg bought
Pay joiner – done
Sinks – all cleaned
Handbag – boogied
E-mail local authority – done

blast in tray
hotspot - sofa in study
eyebrows waxed
buy new top to match skirt
collect skirt
return playpen
phone friend about meeting on sunday
put dry washing away - still wet!
finances - transfer money etcMum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
I have to admit that this week has been a total failure as flying has not been happening but I have sorted loads of paperwork and sown vegetable seeds so have been busy with lots of other things. Is that allowed?business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Pooh.. of course it is allowed.. But you will get kicked for it.. Sometimes real life takes over and we need some time off.. we are here because we aren't domestic goddesses.. apart from Nicki who either lies about how much she does (which I doubt) or she never blooming stops!!!!
I've just twinkled my kitchen and the ebay pile is still unpic'd I really should go get it done.. if I just get on with it I usually have it done in next to no time!
WM's, TD's and the BM are on.
First day of the hollies hasn't been too horrific.. just waiting for DD1 to get home and we are settled in for the next 2 weeks.
Just trying to find something to feed everyone tongiht the cupboards are really bare!!.. pasta.. with pasta.. with pasta I think!!! I have cheese.. and a few mushrooms.. and mince.. Right.. spaggy blog it is then.. just need to defrost the mince.. tesco delivery coming tomorrowLB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
pooh - flying is meant to free us not tie us down. I've not got much flying done this week either, and though of course with no OH living here and no kids my house probably stays more how i left it than the rest of you, next week it will all come round again. as flylady herself says, babystepsMum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0

The end of my first week flying.
Didn't get all the listed jobs from each day done, but all rooms have been cleaned.
Thanks for the inspiration in getting me into a daily routine again.
Have a great weekend everyone....it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

Tinsel.. they will all come round again next week so you won't miss much.. you have to save something to do next week after all!
I don't feel like I have done anything all week.. but I have done better than I did the last few weeks.. I have twinkled my kitchen today though.. so I can make it all messy again cooking spaggy bol for dinner!.. Fun food.. I love it!
I've de-flea'd 2 children as well.. 5 down 3 to go!! .. and they are the 3 older girls with super-long hair.. *sigh*LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0
