    Not good :(. I just came back from break and thought I'd just read the last couple of replies before I update the handover and clear out the drug trolley. Now I'm sitting in complete darkness, sniggering at you crazy flyladies! :rotfl:

    Morning! Just about to go make :coffee: and get some brekki. It's getting light so I'll inspect the paintwork as I go past. I didn't pack all my decorating stuff away just in case. I popped my uncleaned roller in a plastic bag to stop it drying out so it will be ok for today.

    Then the key job will be switching cupboard contents around and making space in the (now) spare room so we have the much needed bed for granny for tomorrow night.

    I have a cot in my garage! Must decide on a sale price...

  • Morning all - hope you are as OK as can be. Was catching up on my emails this morning and found one that's message was:

    "It's okay to be not okay"

    So hope that helps when our GUAG goes missing in action or anything else floors us temporarily or even permanently. Not sure what I have planned for today - three episodes of Sherlock back to back and some bits that I need DH help for.

    Love hugs sticks and spoons where needed and I just love the Flylady Arms posts from last night! I was with you with the last two glasses of vino! xx

    Morning flyladies. Well not a lot of flying is happening here as our weekend is revolving as it should around visiting DS in hospital and taking him supplies. Also, LittleyDog has a sore ear this morning so I'll need to fit in a vet trip with her.

    Ok so plan:

    Wash up
    Hoover downstairs
    Make myself look human
    Visit DS

    I have 'others' sorting out dog walks again today and if I get any time at all later between remembering to eat, I may make a start on making another dog bed as it will be a distraction.

    I haven't caught up with the thread so I hope everyone is ok.

    Catch you all later.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I decided I needed to be out of bed.. so I'm up and Pesky-pixie is up too.. she has already vomited down my cleavage.. I see a fun day ahead.. Off to stick the kettle on and get a wash load or 12 in before I am over run again.. 'tis pouring with rain here so not really drying weather.


    This week shall be spent encouraging OH to go to the gym for some time out.. He never goes anywhere, it is over a year since his last evening out (with DS1) so I need the break! and it might make him more personable.

    I feel as though I missed a really good night out at the Flylady Arms. :cries: I have been alcohol free for a exactly seven days, but had a great night out on Friday when everyone else was boozing and it went just fine. Burns Night is the next obvious challenge.

    Valli, in front of that tea caddy is someone polishing a cup? Very worried that the Fly-Land-Lady is not actually *one of us*, but a sneaky neat-freak.

    Decluttered OH to the London-bound train to watch his footie team this arvo, and then to see the *announcement* final cut of the film! Tomorrow! Wiv music, titles, credits and everyfinks. V. exciting.

    Bins, vacuuming top layer, one bedroom to turn around today (safe journey P - look out Wales) and then at least four loads of washing. It's finally, finally stopped raining so I can catch up on the backlog.

    Dusty, consider yourself kippered, hugged and generally FlyLoved.
    Better is good enough.
  • Morning everyone,
    Busy Saturday for me - I managed to do a fair bit off my list but didn't go mad as I wanted a relaxing weekend. DD declutterd my last tenner to go to the cinema and then a sleepover, DS has only come out of his room for food and DH is still at work. Its so lovely and quiet & when I have tidied, it has stayed tidy :j:j

    I'm off to do HHI - it will probably turn into an hour but I need to get it done.
