    My main targets are to make SEVERE progress on the business/office lists - liked last week's "having a meeting with myself dictating into tablet" as it felt like a proper work meeting, with minutes and actions.

    Love this but who do you delegate all those jobs to that you don't want to do yourself? Does the tablet create the minutes?

    WM on

    Heaps of Governor stuff to do as two meetings today so off to the shower and then I need to be disciplined.

    WM x2 with Dots bedding and mine.. I wonder how many times my neurosis will wash this lot until my head thinks it is clean enough.. it is usually 4-6 washes with powder, conditioner and disinfectant.

    Girls ready for school.. suppose I should attempt to move.

    Dot now also has a large egg on her forehead after kissing the kitchen floor! I am certain she has spaghetti legs she is forever falling on her face and she doesn't even put her hands out to stop herself!

    Morning all. In again, thanks for the list. Went off list this morning and cleaned the LR instead, will see what I can do from kitchen list after paid stuff. Although I am also going to try to do my me challenge this week.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Good morning - room for little one :D

    I packed DD off to University last week and DS goes in 10 days' time. So while there's just me and DH here, I want to get back into good MSE Flylady ways, and give my house the "showhome" treatment :j

    Great to see so many people knitting. I have a shawl to finish for myself, then collect some wool a friend has purchased for me to knit kilt socks for her DS's 21st.

    Thanks Dusty and Natty for the lists :A
