  • Hi there! I'm in again ths week, and thank you Dusty for the lists - you must be a very skilled mind-reader, as I am another flylady who has loads of birthdays this month and whose drawers need a good sort out(!).

    I've already fed the cats, got breakfast, sorted washing, sorted a drawer, dusted through, and got a meal ready that is currently basking in the SC. I was going to do the kitchen floor, but will do that after work now.

    OH has just made a quick toastie lunch, and off I go to work in 15 mins - as usual I don't want to go! OH is meeting me after and we are still doggie walking.

    Honey Bear, I do hope your dog soon improves, poor thing. It's awful when pets are poorly.

    Lamewolf, I do hope you soon feel better too, and good vibes to all who need them. Best wishes to all newbies too, R x

    Have done the tidy round this morning and sorted post into either recycle or keep for records,

    So trying to get organised in wardrobes, since my O.H. passed away I have too much space and keep shifting things back and for ,need to get that finalised.

    spare bedroom a junk pile ,sold some stuff on ebay must sort rest and photo ready for free listings.

    Must do a cleaning job a day ,

    Must clean carpets ,bought cleaner off ebay 2 months ago ,still unused.
    Do I need it or just want it.

    Dylan's gone home now; he very kindly left me a parting gift - a large pile of poo in the back garden.:rotfl: The good news is Jessie (black lab, we've had her before) is coming on Friday, to stay for the weekend. It's that time of year, where bookings are likely to be short, last-minute ones.:o

    Bonnie sorry you're not feeling so good. Have a Wolfy (((HUG))). You too, Witchy.

    HHC at 14:30 to do as many kitchen surfaces, horizontal and vertical, I can manage with anti-bacterial cleaner; also remove the nose-art from the back door and patio door. You're all cordially invited to join me.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Pamsdish welcome and I'm sorry to hear of your DHs passing.

    I am the queen of procrastination - but I have cleared my intray, which toppled on the floor yesterday whilst putting off writing a report :p

    Will make a start next and then wake up DS1 for his afternoon/evening work shift.

    Done all I can apart from the fridge - it's pretty full so I'll wipe it inside before I go shopping on Friday morning. The floor was particularly hideous; you have no idea how dirty it is until you clean it do you. I used the spray bleach on the worktop so looking all nice and clean.

    Now to quickly vacuum around before I fetch DD from school. DS doing football club so don't have to get him til 4.30.

    See you tomorrow!
