    Oh no Bossy!

    I got bitten by a mozzie at DS2's football match. I think it was the same kind that bit me at the end of term do in July. My leg is swollen, red and throbbing. I can't face any more AB's.

    I've given up with the washing and ironing. I'm feeling very unappreciated like FizzWizz.

    DS2 has been horrible to DS3. He thought he would get away with it because his friends were here but I told them to leave.

    I've had words with DH about it and he tells me it's just boys. As he grew up with 3 sisters I don't understand his reasoning. He's taken the 2 youngest to swimming lessons. Nobody has checked the swimming bag. I know there are no towels in it. They are drying on the line.

    Mine came yesterday. The concrete block on top had become dislodged resulting in the racket. All mended now.

    WM on 6th load. It's very warm and sunny do its drying quickly. DH has gone to see his ear consultant. This is the man who is always on holiday. DH has to see him specifically as his ear problem is rare.

    I've made DS3 and DD2 try on their school stuff. They both still fit so that's dosh I can save.

    Very tired now, a side effect of getting up at 4.30.

    Washing machine man came - and said he thinks it is the motor! So he has taken it away! I face being without a machine until next week. I've done one load at a mate's house. I will be handwashing this evening....

    I managed more than a HHC. I got a bit carried away.....
    After putting lots of shoes away in the wardrobe I fell asleep :D Not in the plan but I was definitely overdoing things.

    Back to normal now. Upstairs all vacuumed so having a sit down with a cuppa and some vegetables to peel for dinner. We went to the allotment and got some potatoes and kale so thinking of sausage casserole and new potatoes and kale.

    Ugh! I am, as my Grandma used to say po-fagged.

    We hired a rug doctor from Morries. My mum, DD and I have cleaned EVERY carpet in Villa Valli and exclaimed with disgust at the water we had to throw. I now have doors and windows open and fans blowing in an attempt to dry it. Then we took the Rug Doctor to Mum's and cleaned her bedroom carpet, lounge, DR, stairs and landing and a bit of the other two bedoorms. then I cleaned the rug doctor. then I came home and cleaned ME.

    Evening all. Thankyou for the tips on defragging. I followed instructions to find the pc is set up to do it automatically each week and it had already done it today. Obviously had a preview of the flylady list.

    I am up to date with the lists this week, go me!

    Cycling, if you can make the journey to a village near Selby, you can bring all your washing here. Seriously.
    Spend less now, work less later.
