Exhausting day at work.
OH has washed a load of towels, and DS1 is working on clearing a huge lot of stock from his business. Unfortunately, he's sorting it on the living room floor..... :rotfl:
Hi to all the new Flyladies! Don't try and get it all done ESPECIALLY if you have a baby or little ones, aim for a small improvement, as the rooms all come round again. (And for new mums, if any visitor asks if there's anything they can do, hand them the Stardrops and microfibre cloth, and point them in the direction of any grubby bits...:D)It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -

Well, fallen behind already!!! Went for a swim after work so am now officially knackered. Also spent ages reading back all my MSE threads - did go and do a quick whizz round kitchen so that I would have something productive to report!! Important job of the night is to 'tidy' away some christmas sweeties!!!:rotfl:0

Just in from work and lost of flying to catch up on and lots of reading on here catch up on... 3 pages since this morning.
Tea was made last night, girls already warmed up theirs with pasta and I auve just had mine. DW on, recycling bin was collected today so am able to fill it again.
No cat wee today, he seems to have used the litter tray fingers crossed.
Having a 10 min sit and catch up and playing with Dd3 them will start flying before collecting DD1 from her first day at her part time job
Coffee clinks to all cheers!

Evening all!
I have read the pages but not much has gone in
Hi's and hugs to Helen Jelly, virtual tissues to Pigpen, hi-five to dancepops hopefully coming home, healing vibes to flyteen ankles and so on
DD was so tired she managed without her blankie and didn't get up till I was getting ready for work just before 6. Then DS woke so they both got in with granny. They both had good days, DD first time at after school club (but same one as DS) and she loved it, didn't want to come home!
But she had to as I was due a Mr S delivery, no time for shopping this week. So we have food and it's everywhere. DD pack up for wraparound care is ready, and I need to do mine and make some supper for myself. But I just need to sit down!
And I can't think what I want to eat.
Other than paid stuff I've done nothing, but it's only the kitchen as we've been out all day.
Right, I'll go find food. Shouldn't be too hard, right?Bossymoo

Hi everyone
I only did a part fly in the kitchen as went 25 miles to take 15 year old Grandson out to lunch before he went back to school.
Wasn't too thrilled to find DH hadn't washed up his lunch dishes.
Hope all those who are unwell feel better soon.
Dusty I did finish the ironing in time.:0 -
Hugs Helen. DS1 moves from DLA to PIP this year and I am dreading it, especially as some of his problems are psychological and difficult to measure. As if it isnt hard enough eh?
Well, done 4 hours of paid stuff. Done a quick tidy round and hoover where-ever needed it most. Cleaned the worktops and tiles in the kitchen properly, washed the floor and wiped the cupboards and appliances. Oh and polished the furniture. A lot more to be done in the kitchen but thats for another day.
Have just put on some lovely new nail polish that I got for Christmas. Part of my plan for 2014 is to make a bit more of an effort with my appearance. Need to wait for the nails to dry then I can take the washing out of the machine and put it over the airer in front of the fire!0 -
Thank you, Dusty!
I do try to keep on top of things, until I have a bad few days and it gets terrible again lol!
