Good evening flyladies. So I didn't get round to posting again yesterday to update my flying after work. But fly I did! It largely consisted of 2 hours of ironing yesterday along with general tidying up.

Today I have tried to play catch up. Did some admin and paperwork. Then cleaned kitchen and living room, mopped round, S&S bathroom and downstairs loo, and hoovered round everywhere.

Tomorrow I'm off work but we are going back to our old house to give it a good clean and make a trip to the tip before the tenancy ends next week. Fingers crossed we get some deposit back.

Morning all, it's pay day today so today's first job is sorting out the finances (which have definitely taken a dent with vet bills). I'll see what I can do from the lists after the paid stuff.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all.

I have paid stuff again today. Yesterdays delivery was so messed up that I still haven't sorted it all out when I quit at 11pm last night. I had to keep taking breaks as my head feels all bog like and I couldn't concentrate No idea what's causing it, but I'm going to go for a bath this morning before tackling the last 5 orders to see if that helps. Also it'll give me a chance to warm up before going out in the cold to post cards. When I get back I need to prepare books, which DD has said she'll help me with when she gets home from school. I might even take it one stage further and prepare the next lot of books as well while I'm using Christmas specific stuff, then I can stash the Christmas stuff away for next year

Todays plan:
Bath
Orders sorted
Cards out to customers
Shops (milk & crisps for DD's packed lunch)
Newsletter
Contact customer re collecting order
Contact Av0n re missing/damaged items :mad:
Cut/stamp Christmas forms
Prepare books
WM x2
Washing up x 2 (bulky stuff )
Tea / veg
Ironing (ideally!)

Right, heating has been turned up so I don't freeze when I get out the bath. Now I best shift myself as I need cards out before noon! :eek: :wave:

one off the frog list last night pension advisor came for meeting and left us feeling a lot better as well as giving good advice.
because i blitzed the hall stairs landing and lounge before she came house looks pretty good. DS2s bedroom got a HHC this morning, hed lost his school library book so after he went i had a mega floor clearance. hes moaning all his long sleeved shirts dont fit - he alaways wears short given the choice so ive left them on his bed he can try them on and what dont fit can go in the Cs bag. i could alter them to short sleeved but hes got 6 of them so id just be making work for myself when the Cs can benefit from his excess shirts and current growth spurt. Hes 13 and already taller than me, i think hes going to be another longshanks like his brother who must be about 6ft 5in by now (he just clears the door frames)

got a list of 'off site' jobs for this afty so need to get this morning organised so i can do all of them together.
got the sweets and treats organised for any callers we get tonight but so far havent bothered with a pumpkin or any deccy. will get the pumpkin lamp out of the attic as a sign i have sweets. DS2 goes with his mates but i say they are only allowed to knock at houses that are decorated. As i take that as i sign they are participating. If im honest its not my favourite time of the year i think the shops have hyped it up to make extra sales for them.
watched that thing last night about shopping and couldnt believe what halloween brings in for them
