    Morning

    Sounds like hugs are needed for pigpen and cy and ~nice bossy~ for you Dusty

    It is G-7 today! The Germans arrive in a week :eek: SW3 has an exchange student coming for a week. Last time SW5 was a star and did not mention the war once :rofl: hoping he is as good this time. The good news is that with the strike at school nect Tuesday SW3 will be here to help finish (or even start in some cases!) tidying up.

    Have a good day all x

    You've cheered me up immensely with your reference about not mentioning the war! Hope it goes well - our French exchange was an unmitigated disaster!
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    Paint and fit border roll

    Tuesday - Living Room & Hall
    15 minutes ....
    Do something from your Toots list, or at least start something if you have nothing you can do in 15 minutes
    Got an hour.....
    Hoover the floors

    Wednesday - Any bedroom
    15 minutes....
    Dust it
    Got an hour....
    Hoover any floor you can see
    Dust lampshades and bulbs
    Extras

    Relatively happy with progress this week, bedroom was thouroughly cleaned at the weekend due to painting and re laying of carpets so have amended the list to include items I need to do instead. Will need to re check the Toots moving list and assess progress and POA for the remaining (12 sleeps to go!). Got an email about the PAT testing for the flat which will hopefully be done tomorrow now and ticks another box off. Think the last thing needed for the actual move/letting is the landlord insurance which I got quotes for but haven't assessed them as yet. They were significantly cheaper than I was expecting though that may be down to my naivety on the subject, expected it to be several times more than my own insurance.
    BF has a very important football game which he has requested to watch on tv tonight so will have to do flying before the game then can work on the bedroom packing/sorting to give him peace (and save me pretending to care :rotfl:)

    I have deposited DS at school and taken the dog on a walk/jog along the Tay. Fusspot animal had decided to turn his nose up at his breakfast, clearly holding out for something better than his biscuits so he has been ignored for 30 mins while Ive caught up on the thread. :cool:

    Morning.

    DD1 off at school, DD2 gulping milk like she hasnt been fed. We had another 1am screaming fit so going to go with the infacol at each feed today to check for a difference. Really hating men right now, well one specific one. Sometimes I think I'm destined to just be independent and do everything myself alone until the end of time.
