Thanks for the list Natty How smug are you feeling Valli?
Good morning Everyone
I could actually do with some of those bags, aka as bin liners, Bossy or Piggers, I'm all out! That's what you get for taking your own bags.

Hi bossy and ionofan. I did get lost - in the pile of carp that was waiting at home. Endless cleaning. Filing and flinging.

Morning Flyladies :wave:

I am in, good and proper, this week. HT here too but not in Wales so I have DS1 and DS2 here all week while DD slaves away over exams. I hav managed to shoogle most of this week's customers to the tail end of last week or the beginning of next so apart from 6 hours of paid stuff I am "off" this week too. I was so busy last week, between working extra and nursing a poorly DH that I didn't have time to keep up with Fred so I hope all are safe, well and happy.

The Outlaws are taking us out for lunch today so I need to get up and make a start as we need to be ready to leave by 11.30. Thankfully, I had a manic Sunday as MIL was babysitting the boys last night so DH and I could go and see The Strypes; I stripped and remade three beds, cleaned the bathroom and kitchen and dusted, vacced and mopped everywhere. Nothing like a MIL visit to spur me into panic mode

My big task this week will be to gut the boys bedroom and hopefully fling a couple of binbags of crud. They are overjoyed at the prospect of helping, as you might imagine :rotfl:

I picked up everything off the floor and the surfaces in the girls room yesterday; half a black bag of rubbish, a load and a half of smelly washing thanks to DSD and a million hair grips courtesy of DD later and it actually looks tidy in there. I have stuffed everything else into a box which they WILL be sorting through when they're both here next weekend; anything which is staying needs to find a 'proper' home, anything they cannot or will not find a home for will have to be taken back to their main homes or I WILL chuck it in the bin. I have HAD ENOUGH and it stops HERE AND NOW.

DD is used to my wrath (not that it really achieves much apart from making me feel better ) but DSD is in for a shock, I suspect! :eek:

I don't usually get bags but the council have decided we cant put recycling in black bags so I have been using them for that so was running low on supplies.


My eyes are all gritty and sticky this morning..


Pixie still in bed so I may take advantage and go sort one of the girls cupboards.. and drink lots of tea and find some socks.


I need to do a laundry shuffle too..


HHC @ 9:30-10am???????

I don't envy you CY, dealing with 'moving out' cleaning on someone else's behalf. *yeach*

Devil Cat has stomped wet, dirty paw prints all over newly washed white cotton jumper that had been washed and dried to go to CS. *sigh*

Bedroom will be getting tidying up and listy attention today. Office recleared, kitchen straightened and filing tray cleared.
