    Hi Everyone

    This site looks as though it could be the answer to my prayers! I ve tried following US flylady with a modest amount of success but could really do with something a bit more interactive. I cant guarantee I will be able to keep up with you lot (I'm in awe quite frankly) though, my fridge, freezer and cupboards are clean and BULGING with food as my kids have just landed home from uni for Easter:j so I am off to tackle the the mountain of washing they have both left in the hallway :j:j no, skip that :eek:

    I am having a day off poorly :( have a chest infection and yesterday every time I started coughing I couldn't stop and ended up very lightheaded and dizzy, lack of oxygen I guess

    so relaxing at home but bored!!! can't do too much strenuous or I'll cough!! so I have decided to eat a big frog and organise my very disorganised 32gb memory stick where I am sure I have most documents in at least 4 different places eeeeek wish me luck it could be a long job :D

    Glad to see so much flying going on.

    I've done most of the kitchen, just the sides to do once the cupboards are dry and the food can go back. DS1 has done all the hoovering which I always find makes the place look a bit better.

    Just had some soup for lunch so going to crack on with some paperwork for an hour now. Off to a neighbour for a cuppa this afternoon.

    Well, I got online. Had a bit of a mad morning, but managed to land everything in the right place at the right time.

    Welcome, dollydog. We may look organised, but there is just a lot of us. Most of us spend a lot of our time chasing tails, so don't be put off by all the activity (it's only monday, and we are prone to burn-outs!)

    Popped up to carpet shop, they have lost my measurements, so coming back today (darent measure myself after the blinds debacle) but said they can order this aft and fit on wednesday :T Apparently the blind is fine now, and looks fab. So, just need to hang that and await the arrival of the new bed!

    Ooh young master carpet man has arrived (wit woo!) ;)

    Squeak just fell off the sofa onto her face, Dot sneaked upstairs to 'assist' OH in his stripping.. it is nearly done.

    I am off to do lunch for the 2 horrors and kick DS3 to do his..

    I may need to take Dot to a door or something first!
