    Hi all and thanks for good wishes for the weekend I wasn't looking forward to - luckily it went ok. Horse thing was alright on the Sat; I copped out on the Sunday and did my own thing. Had lovely slow breakfast doing the crossword sitting by a sunny window. Very MSE - breakfast was served till 11 so I hung on to my cup and just kept topping up with coffee! Then I had a great explore round Liverpool; sat for an hour in the Cavern Club listening to live music; did a few museums, went on the ferris wheel thing, walked along waterfront - fantastic.

    Anyway back to flying; I'm off work today as lunching with some freelance assessors/tutors who are setting up an informal support group.
    So wm on
    quick swish of sinks
    emptied weekend bag
    filled bird feeders
    now need to get off here and do a bit of f/l work.

    Happy birthday to anyone I missed over the weekend.

  • Morning everyone. I'm in this week. My job has finished and for the first time in years I'm not working. Planning to use the gap to finally get this house straightened out.

    Plans for today:

    Level One - or at least as much of it as I can:o
    HHI
    Plant up tub at front door to make it look like spring is coming
    Make a list of all the jobs needing done to turn this hovel into a home:eek:
    Meal plan

    So far DW on. Now off to hang up washing.

    Have a good day folks :)
  • made a start on kitchen
    surfaces cleaned off washed down, everything on them washed or wiped and replaced.
    made a couple of phone calls and texts
    checked post - junk in shredder box
    grabbed a coffee

    just going to hang a load of washing out and do another HHC in the kitchen before work
    SPC~12 ot 124

    Morning All :wave:

    I am in this week, thanks for the lists Natty, had a lovely meal out on Saturday with DH, house is still looking good & actually managed to get washings dried outside at the weekend, I love getting into newly changed bet but even better love getting into a newly changed bed when it has been dried outside. I have kept on top of things all weekend, only required minimal flying & ironed for 5 hours yesterday :eek: .......Basket is still not empty, so HHI’s EVERY night for me, no excuses.
    We have the painter starting on Saturday so the LR will be a bit of an uproar over the weekend, am waiting on someone getting back to me re the paint effect I want on the main wall, supposed to be coming Thursday but as yet he hasn’t been back in touch.
    Finance all sorted for new sofa, won’t get delivery until May so plenty time to get rest of LR done by then, a little each month as the finances allow.

    I am 8-5 all week & DH is nightshift, and I don’t sleep well when he is nights so hopefully I can keep on top of the flying. x

    thought as was a lovely day would actually hang washing out in garden but sigh, can not find my pegs. been keeping them in my shed but my gardener(brother) had left in a state so ended up tidying as looking. Shed looks lot better but still no pegs. So no washing hung out :-(
    trying hard to ignore that and move on to cleaning, but keeps nagging. sorry for moan.

    Have washing on line and have cleaned the cat litter tray which is drying outside - in the warm sunshine:D

    Maiden emptied from yesterdays airing and I am trying to construct a plan...

    I think I will clean my bedroom first...

    OOO new pegs *envious*
