    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.....

  • 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?

    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 :confused:

    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
    Laundry – ironed, sorted and put away
    TV – collected from repair shop

    See you all later, Penny. x

    pre-school drop off/pick up
    Swimming with DD2
    Market - got meat
    Hoovered Stairs - washed down paintwork
    Wash front door (inside & out)
    Washed conservatory windows outside (about to redo the 2 the girls did:rolleyes: )
    WM x 1 and pegged out (DH task to iron - I will make a new man of him:p only taken me 13 years so far to get him to lift an iron)
    Gammon ham - about to roast off (honey & mustard glaze - yummy:D )
    Hoovered downstairs
    Wash laminate floor in hallway (only 1 1/2 metre sqaure)
    Washed laminate floor in comp room (used to be my larder till DH pinched it:mad:)

    Got tesco delivery coming between 5 and 7pm, am hoping it will be 5 rather than tea time!

    right must get those windows done while littles are preoccupied with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (again!!!:rolleyes: )

    Pigpen - you are an inspiration:T :T Its great to see those figures coming down, and so quickly too.

    Happy flying everyone

    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?

    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!!!! ;):p

    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 tomorrow

    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, babysteps :)

    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*
