Must have been the sweets as I've had a burst of energy

What are these magic sweets? I've been eating flapjack and hobnobs ALL morning and I don't have an ounce (of energy: I have probably contributed several ounces of lard to my already ample derriere)!

Thought you'd appreciate a photograph of my 'clean laundry' There aren't many places you can share such delights!! lol



Bear in mind I have 2 WM's full, a TD full AND the bed seets and double duvet outside drying!!!! AND another 3 loads to do!!!!!

Oh isn't life FUN?!?!?!

PS.. ignore the rice krispies on the floor under the table I am dealing with those while dinner cooks!! lol

PPS the black binbag is my 'fabric' recycling waiting to be dumped outside in the morning!!! Can't risk it getting wet now can I?

MY friend just said she wouldn't let me look after her children because I am nuts and a bad influence on them.. PMSL.. good job I know her VERY well!!!

I didn't quite understand PMSL, so after a lot of headscratching, and the best I could come up with was Pity My Sad Life, I looked it up and got
'IM language for !!!!ing Myself Laughing. Mostly it's not literally meant .....'

Well house looked like a bomb had exploded when I left to take DD1 to playschool this morning. So as we were heading out the door I flung some bleach on the grout/seal round the bath (so just had to rinse it off when I got back) then decided I may as well give the whole bathroom a good scrub. Then S & S lounge (re-hoovered again after lunch!), S & S kitchen, swept floor and mopped, clean porch floor & mopped too.

Attacked wardrobes in our room and flung all the stuff that has been hiding since we moved in, now have 2 large boxes of computer stuff for DH to sort through (also another one in the shed! along with 2 pc towers) hmm feel a weekend job coming on while I am at work and kids at his mums he can sort through this. Anything he does not want that is still usable I will freecycle.

Littles running round outside so that should burn some energy off, spoke to soon back in now. Off to change bed.

Quick question, if I rig one of those pulley washing lines up in the garage do you think the washing would drive if I left the door partly open?? Am determined NOT to buy another TD!

Maybe coffee first, then bed! changing that is not getting in!

Hello all, found flylady site last week and it has already made a massive difference to my house! Haven't done a 27 fling yet but have decluttered a lot of cupboards

Ive just had to sprint outside to get the washing off the line when it started lashing down! Trying not to use the dryer, electricity meter needs feeding too much!!

Hi everyone,

at the moment, I only seem to have time to pop in once a week, but I am being pretty good about flying in between - honest!

We had our fabulous mini break in Carcassonne at the end of last week, and it was only with the utmost reluctance that I left the mediterranean sunshine to come back to rain...Thanks to the travel board for all their help, I'd never have been brave enough to go for cheap flights and book the B&B online otherwise.

I came back to an ansaphone message that I'd been shortlisted for interview on Tuesday, so a bit of celebration. Then unbelievably, I woke up at 3am with a blinding headache, just got worse, ended up being sick for hours, and had to ring up and withdraw from the interview. I didn't care yestreday because I felt too ill, but I'm really feeling disappointed today. Oh well, obviously just not to be. I'm consoling myself with the fact that I did actually make it to the last eight!

Have done the kitchen on Monday, but nothing much since. Will try to do tomorrow's list!
