    Hello,

    Havnt managed to get started today - DW needs unloading, and i have a sink full of dishes ready to take their place. Did the hoovering yesterday (i did wait a while before my 'exercise lil-me!!!) so the house is still looking tidy, due to the fact we were out all morning!!! Off out again in a bit, but should have time to do the DW before i go - i hate coming back to an untidy kitchen now ive started flying, love it when my sink is nice and shiny!!!!

    Hope everyone has a lovely day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Dried two loads outside already (one of clothes and one of the cats' blankets). Just pegged out the throws from the living room. It's really windy but sunny too.

    Vacuumed furniture after I took the throws off, then vacuumed living room, hall and kitchen. Clean throws on now.

    Some evil little **** knocked the wing mirror off my daughter's car last night. She's away for the weekend. We've got a new one but haven't had time yet to see if we can fit it. She has no luck :(

    Pollybear sorry to hear about the wing mirror, we've just had to take the spot lights off my jeep as someone smashed them, extremely annoying!

    Pigpen, well done, sounds like you've done loads :) Fingers all crossed for the sunflower (Maybe plant a spare somewhere just incase)

    Well I have done the backlog of laundry/wardrobe and drawers swapping aswell as a dreaded sock sort :( I hate that job. It's took me 3 hours. Could say there was a lot needed catching up on :o All done now tho, well apart from the stuff I just brought in which needs putting away. Never ends does it!

    Kids dinners on, have to decided what to have myself, haven't defrosted anything so may just be a bowl of pasta or something. Haven't made muffins yet, but could do them tomorrow as no hurry really, sooner I make them sooner they'll start disappearing!

    Right best go finish tea and find something for me. Then kick dogs out while I do another sitting room sweep, this dogs hairs driving me potty!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I'm in a really bl**dy odd mood today thanks to DH. I really want to get stuff done but seem to keep wandering around not knowing what to do next!

    So far today:

    DW done and refilled
    2x TD done
    2x WM done (current one to be 3rd TD lot)
    DS bedroom swept and 'mostly' tidied
    Been shopping for food stuff. No idea what it came to as DH can't find the reciept, ho hum.
    My room.... oh heck. We tipped it upside down this morning to find my car insurance document... I've sorted the paperwork I've so far found into recycling, shredding, "keep out and deal with soon", and "file away
    documents"
    Tonight's dinner on the side defrosting
    The bathroom needs a wipe over, but I might do it while I'm in the shower later :rotfl:

    I know it's baby steps and all that, and I can definately see a difference already and everything feels cleaner (even though there's still tonnes of clutter) but I'm soo impatient :mad:

  • six loads of washing done and line dried, sometimes you've got to love a bit of wind!
    Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
  • I've done no flying for the past couple of days, I think I need a good kick up the backside tomorrow. Thankfully the house is actually relatively tidy so not much to do.

    If the weather is nice tomorrow then I'm going to continue flying in the garden and dig over the extension to the flower bed and clear up some more of the junk that's in the shed. Am hoping that it's nice because there's a backlog of washing that needs to be done and would be good to be able to dry it outside.

    Oven top cleaned.
    Lamb leg out to defrost for tomorrow, yuuummmmm
    Numerous loads of washing done and tumbled/line dried (hey, I can close the lid to the washing basket!! :rotfl:
    2 things charity shop boogied, and a few more bits to go too when I venture back into my bedroom to rescue my bed from the piles of stuff!

    I reeeeaaalllly want to wash the landing floor tonight too. Lets see how awake I feel when I finish nosing on here :o

    I usually do the bathroom when the kids are in the bath too, saves me having that wasted time, then just do bath, sink, loo etc when they get out. Works well for me. Up after having to strip and remake DS2s bed, his sheets now in washer, DP is at work and kids will sleep through the noise, neighbours are away so may aswell put them in now. Going to wait until they are finished then put in a timed wash to end when I get up so just hope weather is nice tomorrow so don't have to use the drier.

    Argh thanks for the tea for tomorrow reminder, need to get things out of freezer, pleased I popped in now or I'd have forgot again.

    I've annoyed myself sooo many times with forgetting to take the roast meat out (then it's too late the next morning) that it's engrained in me now :o
