Hugs, sticks, spoons & vibes to all.
Livingroom is looking much better for tidying it up last nightToday I want to get my window finished so I can put everything away properly, if not today then tomorrow I WILL finish it :rotfl:. WM is already on, so I'm going to watch TV while I have breakfast then I'll get the dailies done and on with my window hopefully. Oh, and I need to fix the toaster if I can....:o

Morning all....
Dusty so sorry to here about HRP's (((hugs)))
Not done much this week, BD has been visiting but it's time to put it out. House never looks tidy anymore so i'm going to try very hard over the weekend to make it look a lot better. No clubs this weekend and if I make a big difference then i'm going to take kids to the Christmas lights switch on. Really haven't done anything Christmassy with them yet.
Right going to set timer and do HHC in the kitchen..“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.”0 -
Worktops cleared and wiped down, recycling put in wheelie bin and wheelie bin put down the lane for emptying. Twigs brought in for fire, dw loaded and on.
Next HHC will be in the livingroom, think that's the way forward for me today. HHC in each room and then when I've done every room, i'll start over again.
Coffee now and i'll start at 20 past.“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.”0 -
I've been slacking the last 2 days, the weather yesterday just was horrendous. Hope everyone is safe and well and not to much damage.
Not much flying getting done today, it's the kids Christmas fair this afternoon.. I'll play catch up this weekend.0 -
Sofa's cleared, filing set out, rubbish gathered up, toys took down to bedrooms, fire set up for later and dusting all done in there.
Next HHC is front hall/computer room.“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.”0 -
Front hall dusted, shoe rack sorted and some away back to there homes, floor been brushed. DW just finished so i'll go do another HHC in the kitchen and then make some lunch.“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.”0

Off out into the freezing cold to hang out some washing. Let's see if it dries eh? Might put my rubber glove on to try and delay frostbite to my fingers. (It's actually really bright and sunny, I'm just whingeing
).
Need to go into town shortly and get some bits and pieces and return DD's brolley. She saw one she was desperate for in M&S so I sneakily bought it for her £15 :eek:! But she was given a high vis one at the school fair and has been happily using that.
We figured out that if we call the stuff neon or dayglo rather than high vis, she's happy to wear it. The child is an oddity!
Right, best crack on, the washing won't hang itself :rotfl:Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -

Dailies done, customer x2 dealt with, WM/TD/folding dealt with, DD's clothes sorted out into sizes (She's a 12 and some of the stuff is an 8! She won't think to check, so I've done it with the clean stuff, wardrobe and ironing pile has shrunk dramatically
), DD's aunties x2 informed of her clothing size & what she needs so that's gifts from them sorted (now I don't have to take her clothes shopping until the new year except for what she wants to wear Christmas day which I'll have to order online if they still have it next week:money:), lunch more or less swallowed and 4 different paint colours topped up on the window, 4 more and I'll be able to start on new glitter colours so there's a sparkly Santa
Time to move myself when I've finished my apple. I think tonight might be a wine o'clock 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!0
