Welcome back hun, anything we can do to 'help' you?

Thanks so much, Dusty.

Nothing apart from a kick up the proverbial! Babe is nearly 2 so I can't really keep using him as an excuse:rotfl:

My Diamond Health Visitor had a quiet word with the EX when I was getting her changed ready for weighing at the beginning of this week. Apparently all she claimed to have said was "you need to get your skates on making this place habitable, so its safe now there are two littles running about!"
Just so pleased she succeeded where everyone else had tried and failed

Wonderful woman :A

I am getting on well with eB@y listings but need to stop and get us a meal now - it's been a long time since breakfast

OH has cooked dinner and dished up much to his disgust, made several cuppas and done the DW

I have taken Squeak to opticians to have her specs adjusted and been for fruit/carrots.. Dot troughing her way through a bowl of grapes, satsuma and apple.

Oh.. I paid a few bills I forgot to do yesterday. I have even remembered to pay the phone bill so our internet shall stay connected

Welcome back Alchemilla lol xx

Thank you.

I'm praying for LadyL.

Hi there. Back in after two days of birthday celebrations - it's been lovely and I have been so spoilt! Yesterday I did very little flying, except for breakfasts, but was rewarded by a lovely wren at the bird table, which is very rare here, but it was there for me from the minute I went out, and for around ten minutes after, it was lovely to watch.

I had lunch out with a friend, then met two more (separately) which meant I had to watch what I ate, as I didn't want a) to be too overloaded with calories, and b) I needed to save room for my Chinese meal!

Today we did an hour's flying, as there were things everywhere, including muddy paw prints! I also changed the bed and cleaned bathroom and kitchen, and then got a light lunch prepared for another friend who was calling, with her grandchildren. We had a great time and when they'd gone we went and got our weekend shop, so tomorrow - hopefully - will be a relaxing day!!! I hope so, I have so many things to read, play with, use etc, and I want a few hours of peace and quiet, even though it's been lovely to see so many people.

Good health vibes all round, epecially to Lady Liberty, Lamewolf and Mr Kazmeister. Good wishes to everyone, especially anyone feeling low or poorly.

Pigpen and Skint; your pictures are lovely, what little sweeties they are, and you take it as easy as you can, Skint, and give yourself enough time to heal.

Bye for now R x.

PS The flyladys with period problems. I've had a hysterectomy, as I had fibroids, but after age 40'ish, I started to get periods that were either late or early, and my doc said the spotting of darker blood in between happened at ovulation, which started to be at erratic times as I got older. I was told it's quite normal and a lot of women get it as they get towards the menopause.

But - as someone said - see your gp if you are worried, I just thought I'd share that, it's not 'advice' at all. Good luck, periods can be a blinking nuisance at times!! R x

Fredula

I've just been reading the first page and I wondered if the list is the same every week or whether it changes?

kazwookie

HI the lists change on a weekly basis, on a Sunday we go to a new thread.

Work done
Daily stuff done
20 more items on ebay.

Fredula

Ah I see! But does the list stay sort of similar? For example if a room is cleaned on the first day of the first week and the last day of the next week then that's a pretty long time without cleaning? Or does it not get that dirty (I've just moved into my first home so am a little bit amature at cleaning).

What can I clean light switches with? I'm assuming I can use flash all purpose cleaner in a bucket with a j cloth/sponge for everything? Obviously very rung out near electricals, or is that a no no?

Also, what can I clean my LCD tv screen with? I once accidently got vim on it and haven't cleaned it since as I'm worried about the abrasion. I think the vims all off now but we have a lot of sticky baby finger prints on there.
