  • Wishing all the flyladies meeting up today a good journey and a lovely time (hopefully in the future I might be out of my shell enough to risk the journey myself :) )

    Thanks everyone about DS hair, I will start searching on ebay for clippers now and do some research into best ones to buy, and hopefully I will end up with a bargain. DS hair is very fair and fine, just don't want to go too short with it as he will look like he is bald and the "stork bites" on his head will show through :o

    Right DD4 is asleep in her car chair still so Time for a mad HHC or as long as I can get - anyone around to keep me company?
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Morning!

    List updated on page 8. I have done all the bathroom on Sunday and kept on top of it so it doesn't need doing today.

    Hung the washing out and now I'm off to a friend's - her two and my two had a mad few hours every school holidays while we drink coffee, eat biscuits & chat. :D

    Should really tackle yet more ironing later on today, but we'll see!

    Hope the Southern flyladies have a lovely meet.

    morning all

    safe journey and wishing a lovely day out to all the fly ladies meeting up today

    hope everyone is well, hugs good wishes and healing or positive vibes where needed
    been trying to snow here all morning but only whispy.

    got up nice and early and added names to my tree, made an exciting discovery and added some extra names when two pieces of a jigsaw unexpectedly fitted together.

    am now going to have a coffee ring my mum and put my papers away so that something in the house gets tidied properly today

    did declutter a new cd yesterday, it was a religious one id won in a christmas raffle so gave it to a neighbour who goes church more than me.
    (just decluttered a tube of smarties cos the kids were still asleep)

    will put my list sup once my papers are tidy.

    Have a lovely time on your meet up!

    We've been to mr a, I've done a wash and its blowing out in the (icy) sunshine. Cold but a good drying day.

    Shopping put away, bin emptied, kiddies just waiting for their friends to arrive.

    We are not in too bad shape, but watch this space...

    Have decluttered OH on the London-bound train. Hmm. Is he a closet Flylady heading for a meeting? He did all the dusting and vacuuming last week, so he's earned his place at the get together. Hope everyone has a lovely time.

    All six loads of washing have dried outside over the last couple of days which is great. The skies are clouding over which is irritating as I need to wash the bedroom carpet. I woke up this morning to 'eau de Dog wee' and having done all of her bedding and plastic sheets yesterday I know it's not that.
    Better is good enough.
  • Right DD4 is fitfully sleeping in chair, but in hour cleaning I managed to:

    field a phone call from EX
    put WM on twice (just love 30 minute programmes for towels! :money:)
    TD on once (bitterly cold and fine powdery snow blowing round here AGAIN :mad::mad::mad:)
    DW on
    Kettle having a vinegar bath
    Hob cleaned
    Microwave cleaned
    Couscous having a soak for snack/lunch when DD3 surfaces
    Sink having a bleach bath
    De-cluttered eggs for breakfast - just about to scoff and sup a herbal :coffee:

    If she stays asleep may be back for another HHC in a bit :wave:
    The cold never bothered me anyway
