    Well we are all up and dressed, kids fed in garden, got some of the furniture out and we all squeezed onto a sunlounger lol. They then spent 20min taking my sandals off and putting them back on different feet. Oh the simplicity of life when you are only 2 and 3...;)

    Have shoved chicken in roasting bag with some curry powder, will make into coronation chicken later, and popped sausages in oven. These will last us a couple of days but better the oven is only on once - for cost and heat in this weather! :money:

    Swapped old toothbrushes for new, so have at least attempted something on the list :A :rotfl:

    That's it really. When we go up for a nap, we might tidy the books away that they left all over little moos floor earlier.

    See how laid back I am? Not stressing at all :T

    I did do a wm though, would be rude not to get something out on the line in this weather :D

    :wave:Hellooooo

    Aww thankyou for all the GWS messages, :) they worked, I'm feeling much better today :T not gone into work though as felt I needed a day at home to recover, start eating, that sort of thing (plus at work no concessions are given; no such thing as light duties, if you're there you get on with it) Not costing them anything as if I don't work I don't get paid...beans on toast all next week then :) i like beans on toast though so that's ok.

    I've had a shower, washed hair and got dressed....so i look and feel a little more human.

    Put 1 load in WM which is just about ready to go out onto the line. Going to make the most of the sunshine here and put my dressing gown in next... it's minging :o

    DS has decluttered himself to the cinema with a girl - who is soooo not a girlfriend even though they text each other constantly and this is the second time they've been out this week :rotfl:Apparently he's in the bro-zone....but I think that would change pdq if he showed an interest in any other female ;)

    I've also completed the two Council Tax forms that I've been sent - did it before I had a shower as I knew they'd wind me up :mad: which they did :mad::mad: I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent woman but they bamboozle me.

    Right, going to get that washing out, DG in, then walk up to post box and post forms - then cuppa methinks.

    Hugs to all xx

    Just had to drop in to say that because I can't stick to the right rooms every day (various reasons) and usually have to do three rooms every weekend as well, I have been doing other things when other FlyLadies have been getting Golds and I've been getting Disqualified (not that I mind - much. Grrrr).

    But there are bonuses. Today, reading the list the only thing that I need to do is delete some emails - nothing is waiting for a reply.

    OH, however, will be sorting out the Coat Hooks, because he said he would several weeks ago ;)

    It is probably very bad form to feel a teensy bit smug so I don't, but Oh Boy! does this feel good!
    Better is good enough.
  • My bedding on the line, so is DD's and DS2's and DS1's is in the WM now. New stretchers purchased from shop as I'm down to 1 as they rest rusted and fell apart. 1st load that went on the line is nearly dry so I will bring that in shortly and refill the space. OH fed lunch and kicked back out to work. Some recycling out need to put the rest out and a bag of rubbish, scullery S/S, LR ditto just going to hoover and then I'm quitting and going out to the garden with my book it's too nice to be stuck in the house all day.

    Washing out
    dressing gown in WM
    forms posted - will forget about them now til I get a letter saying I owe money 'cause I filled them in wrong :mad: despite my best efforts :(

    and I just realised that I haven't eaten anything yet today :eek: that is not a sign of a healthy tuit. (Healthy tuits eat far too much regularly and often which is why they are round :) )

    only really fancy cheese n onion crisps or some reason....so that's what I'm going to have.

    Enjoy the sunshine ladies xx
