Morning All :wave:

Hope you are all well, I got a few bits done last night and this morning but not much, will be playing catch up from here on in after the paid stuff. Luckily I had a good clear out a few weeks ago in our bedroom, just need to persuade poor DH (who has man flu atm) to sort through his stuff & get rid of the 30” waist jeans/trousers he is determined he will one day fit in too :rotfl:, sorting my list out into a more organised list for me

My DD & her P7 class are going to the BBC recording studios today, from 1-6pm, where they are in the audience watching the filming for comic relief, she normally goes out looking like she has been dragged through a hedge backwards, but today hair is all done & perfume on :rotfl:It will be a fab day out for them I am sure, just hope she gets on TV

Valli now that's proper music isn't it!

Macpep1 hope DD has a good time at the BBC; I'm sure we never used to get great trips like that but I guess I was in the sticks in Cornwall ....

Pigpen glad you've sorted out who is going where now. Enjoy your break when OH takes Squeak swimming


Thanks for suggesting pulling the bed out Natty - can't belive how shocking it was underneath and found stuff from when DD was about 4 (now 10 ) Best find was a £5 which of course I've put straight into my purse ! Lunch now and then a bit more flying methinks.

Master Penguin was also at Imperial yesterday. It was his second visit (after the Open Day) and he loves it even more. He's now considering throwing over that uni on the Fens to go and study at London Town. His choice, I say

Yes that other uni was on our list at one time. Master Bumpkins loves everything about the the uni, the course and living in London. It was always my first choice so I was pleased at his decision If you have any questions do pm me.

I'll join you but will be starting late as lunch time - probably 12.40 - 1.10 but almost right with you!!

Rowan_tree_2

Hi there. A quick pop in from me - where does the time go!

Natty, I like your lists as they are - I don't always follow them exactly - but it's amazing how much is on there that I'm going to do, or have done, you must be a mind reader!

Done the usual round of breakfasts for us, the cats and birds - the robin has hardly been away from the table this week - walked next door's dogs, and have de-cluttered some kitchen cupboards, all the food cupboards are sorted, and have de-cluttered in the bathroom and bedroom, too. Lots of stuff for charity and some to throw! And Valli, I am the same as you, enough packaging, bubble wrap etc etc to start a small post office here!!!! (Now sorted!)

Just had a quick snack then off to work, so bye for now, and good health vibes winging their way to all those feeling poorly, or undergoing tests. Skinty, you are another amazing flylady mum! Good wishes and spoons flying your way too, for you and baby Holly.

Oh well, finish my cuppa and off I go, R x

I'm still doing my HHFrogChallenges, so I'll join you, Bonnie. I only have about 20 minutes' worth of sewing to do, and 10 minutes' pressing, and the curtains will be done and ready to hang next week after the OJM has done the bedroom ceiling.

Today I have
- sewn curtains for 3x HH
- taken DH to doctor to get his meds checked
- shopped (and used my A*d* coupon :money:)
- put away shopping
- done another eB@y listing (still loads to do)
- S&S'd kitchen.

Apart from the floors, occasional dusting, bathroom and kitchen, I'm not doing any flying until OJM has finished next week - he starts on Monday. Another tradesman is coming to clean the patio on Tuesday, so that will throw up a lot of mess - it's not worth cleaning the windows until after he's been Instead I will clear the garden shed and chomp on the froggy paperwork.

Kaz, I hope your DH is feeling better today and that the Drs find out what is wrong with him very soon.

*Runs to catch up with Bonnie and Mumof2*

Curtains DONE, ready for hanging
Ironing board put away

DH is dishing up the pizza which I threw in the oven between sewing and pressing.

Thanks for your encouragement, Flyladies! :A :A :A :A
