    I haven't been posting as PC hasn't been working - we are changing our ISP and not sure what happened but we were left without internet for 6 days, I have spent the morning sorting out the new one as so far all seems to be working.

    As I have spend the morning doing this not sure how much flying will get done today but will aim for level two, WM drawer and oven were done last week so won't touch them today but floor and fridge need doing today .

    Off to finish checking emails, have lunch and then hopefully a bit of flying before school finishes.


    Pigpen Very big well done you must be feeling very pleased with yourself as I know its been hard.

    Hi all please can I join you this week?

    I Used to be a flylady back in October - went on holiday and never found my way back to the thread! I don't recognise any names so not sure if you are a whole new crew?

    I have done most of the kitchen to Level 3 - Just one long work surface to go. No Dinning room as we eat in the kitchen so have done the downstairs toilet and hallway and hoovered upstairs too.

    Washing 1 and 2 on the line.

    Just having a little break to do my CT's (pigsback) and then that last surface.

    My big problem has always been finishing tasks. I start the ironing then leave the board out to finish it later etc so I made need a bit of a push from you lot from time to time.

    DD has just lied to me again...longer grounding for her and punishment to be decided when OH gets in, immediate one (as set by OH when I told him about the hay in the heater) is tea and bed by the time OH gets in at 5pm. :rolleyes: Off to make a cheese toastie for her, and erm...something else :confused:
