Morning all

I've got that Wednesday slump in energy. I've shuffled the towels on the maidens and fed the mogs.

Paid stuff and then a meeting so hope to find some GUAG at one of them.

Morning everyone

I am working to my own lists this week but got some hoovering done, some floors washed and some washing sorted last night. Got the auditors in at work today so feeling a bit nervous (even though I know there is nothing to worry about!). Car going in to the garage too today so I hope that will be ready at lunchtime.

Full day of paid stuff today so will only get minimum Flying done. Oh I do have a couple of bags of clothes to take to the charity shop and some books to declutter so I will get those sorted.

So far this week I have achieved quite a bit. A lot of ironing has been done - there is more to do today but I am starting to reduce the mountain....

I have also managed to descale the electric steamer - very simple but smelly - boil a pint of white vinegar in it for 20 mins - usually done when nobody is home and when I can open the windows....

I can see a chink of light at the end of a very dark tunnel - but I am feeling better than at any time in the last 2 months.... Fingers crossed it continues...

Going to spend some time with my parents today. I'm taking them to the Doctor this morning, my dad has to see him before they'll give him anymore pills, he's epileptic so kind of important and he's having his flu jab.
Then my mum is going to help me alter my knitting pattern (Thank You Jazee, I'm going with your measurements as I still haven't heard anything :mad: )

Washing on the airer and more dog bedding in the machine again, she had a little accident probably due to the fireworks after we went to bed She's been fine with them but I have kept lights and the tv on while we've not been around.

Hello all!
Have been ill all week with D&V, so no flying has happened, today will be bathroom and kitchen cleaning, catching up with the washing and ironing, and if I have the energy will walk round with the hoover and duster, working Thursday and Friday then off for a weeks holiday so will catch up a bit next week before my weekend away in London.

Morning all.

Spent yesterday munching the mould frog. Had a bad hip day though so I could only stand for so long then had to sit down. I'm thinking its due to how cold the kitchen floor gets and the cold travelling up through me as I washed up. I have a mat down, but I think I'm going to have to put carpet down as well As a result I didn't get much flying done but at least I got something done.

Today as well as dailies I'm hoping to clear the ironing pile, get the covers on the quilts then on the sofas, get tea in the slowcooker, and have a bath before DD gets in from school around 4pm. Hopefully it won't take that long, but the ironing pile is massive

I guess I best get moving! :wave:
