    hello, I didn't achieve much yesterday: Put loads of washing away thats been in piles on the couch for WEEKS, did a few loads of washing, did the dishes.....just enough the keep the wolves from the door, basically.

    Helen jelly: Thanks for making me feel a bit better about the friend situation, today I am going to crisis clean living room, kitchen, halls, daughters bedroom and bathroom.

    So yes, crisis cleaning today, and I'm going to attempt to do at least level 2 of tuesdays list.

    Hope everyone has a productive day xxx

    Gosh there's soooo much to do! So far I have

    Stripped DD's bed, hoovered mattresses, remade hers and ours, washed the pots,WM on, towels in WM too, kitchen swept and bin put out.

    And all this is just so that I can begin to see the floors in this house! Going to sort out the FIVE laundry baskets that DH has managed to fill this weekend.

    11.30 for a HHI/Clothes sort anyone? Just enough time to go and make a cuppa

    I've zipped round and Level One-ed the lounge and hall - I think Level One is going to be it for this week, as Bailey and Cassie have arrived.:D

    They are gorgeous dogs; but are going to take up a lot of time, with exercise and grooming. I don't mind one bit - the bungalow is pretty much up to scratch (thanks to the Flylady threads!!);) so I can devote the necessary time to my guests.

    Bailey is a long-haired border collie in full moult; Cassie is a lurcher x whippet, short-haired, and just a little smaller than Bailey.

    Next week will be Level One only, too, as Mr LW has Monday to Thursday off; he has to use up his leave, as they have some major changes happening in November ad December and no-one's allowed to book any leave those months, apart from any that had already been approved. Thankfully Mr LW booked his birthday and Yule ages ago!

    Ah - it's 13:00. time for B & C's lunchtime biscuits.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
