Oh good, day off tomorrow;)

lil_me

My little apology. I put Thursday instead of Wednesday, that'll teach me not to copy and paste! oops caught out again.

Well kitchens almost finished. Will do the rest before bed. Waiting for water to cool down so I can finish washing what is in the sink. Wish we could turn the water temperature down, but it does give me another 'sit on bum' excuse. Hopefully feel better tomorrow and add anything not done to tomorrow. Don't hav eto deliver things to sisters tomorrow as she got a lift over tonight. I don't mind usually but I must have done 50 miles in the last 2 weeks doing things for her and it's costing me a fortune. Aswell as the time of course as when I am over more things need doing.

Didnt get much done this afternoon - although i did go and cut the grass!!!
Living room still needs to be dusted, but that will be done tomorrow - kitchen was wiped down after dinner, and DW is on, so i will empty that in the morning.
Luckily, i dont have a spare room or a study, so plenty of time to catch up on what i missed today!!!
Hope everyone has a lovely evening xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Lil-me, and all. I have joined the Flylady squad for the first time this week and I'm already confused. Do we get Wednesdays off?

lil_me

No, just it was on previous Thursdays list so copied it, those are the jobs for Wednesday, have changed it now. Weekends off, oh and Fridays if you have no kids. Unless of course like other you find it easier to swap things round. I prefer weekends off personally.

Hi Lil-me, and all. I have joined the Flylady squad for the first time this week and I'm already depressed. I thought for a brief moment we get Wednesdays off :rotfl:

Pollybear

I was just being sarcastic! No, we don't. But we get weekends pretty free.

Just mentally cross out Thursday and put Wednesday.



(Wasn't trying to be mean Lil-me, just having a joke )

Oooooops, now it really IS going to pot - sorry folks :eek:

Weather is fab here just now. Been out in the garden most of today. Kids and I have more or less finished painting the fence. Have cleared the horrible area up the back of our garden. Been to garden centre and bought plants chukkies etc so will keep going tomorrow. Am really excited about it all being finished. Will have a great summer in the garden with my feet up. Did 2 loads of wash. Cooked spag bol in slow cooker. Filled DW twice. Had gas man in again. Heating all fixed I hope. Tidied all downstairs and have hoovered it twice due to muck being trailed in from garden. I am totally knackered now and aching all over. Feel good though as I have achieved loads today. XX

Well I'm checking in here for the first time since lunch...now thats a first :rotfl: I'm shattered but just gathering my thoughts and brain dumping before I go to bed so I can sleep easy...in theory.

We went to get IL's anniversary pressie this evening, ended up going to Boots (same shopping complex so it was easy to pop in Only spent £7.95 out of a £10 Boots via pigsback voucher :j ), 3 different B&Q's (including a superstore) and Asda... we were out for almost 3 hours (way past DD's bedtime) and came back with just the stuff from Boots :mad: Can we find a "Pearl Anniversary" patio/minature rose anywhere? :mad::mad:
