    Morning all, haven't had time to read through so hope everyone is ok. Up early this morning sorting all paperwork as today is PAY DAY!!!

    Now it's time for gym, shower and walk dogs before the paid stuff. Did the LR yesterday, but will see what I can catch up with from this week's lists later.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning!

    Just put a wash on as forecast rain here from tomorrow. Need to pop out to garage to get keycards recoded this morning, collect prescription, DS to school later and another roof co visiting to measure up this aft.

    I've been off-list so far, but could really do with checking up to see what I've missed. Will definitely steam the downstairs floors tonight - DS feet were grim last night...

    Hugs to all, seems there is some negative luck doing the rounds at the moment :(

    Oh some good news to share. My friend's cancer has not spread so she can now have her double mastectomy in two weeks time. Thank you for all your flylady vibes.
    Fantastic news :T
    Heard today that a troubled teen at school has been Sectioned and is being treated in a secure unit. I feel it is probably a good place for her to be right now but thoughts and prayers would be appreciated to support her.
    Hope she gets the support & help she needs.

    Hi everyone
    Just letting you know that I'm signing off for some time, DH is quite poorly and I can't keep to any routine as he obviously comes first ...
    *hugs*

    DD is at school :D:j Did the obligatory "first day at school" photo while getting snarled at, managed to make her smirk though so got a picture with a sort of smile ;) She was complaining that the blazer isn't as smart as last years, the jumper is thick, itchy and baggy etc etc. I just went "You wanted official school branded stuff, tough" hence the snarling! Ex complained that she looked too big :rotfl:

    Today I've already stripped my bed, sorted the dirty washing, WMx1 and put DD's cuddly toys in the WM as they were looking very icky. The rest of the day I'll be working from my own list again and it looks something like this:
    Update finances
    Email / surveys
    Make beds
    Bath
    WM/TD x5ish
    Paid stuff - newsletter, prepare forms, prepare books, put books out
    S&S bathroom
    S&S kitchen
    Tidy livingroom
    Tidy bedrooms
    Ironing

    Also need to remember to take meds & do salt washes :( Roll on Monday and this all being over I hope. Need to try and come up with something soft for tea, normally we love crispy/hard stuff (like sausage, chicken, pasta bakes) but they're all still too hard atm as I learnt last night :(
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
