    Morning flyladies :wave:, thankyou natty and dusty for the lists and welcome newbies and returners :)

    I'm definitely in this week, I am sick of being surrounded by carp. No work today and an unscheduled day off on Wednesday as DS1's school is closed due to industrial action so I really have no excuses.

    Sticks, spoons and hugs aplenty for those who need them (and an extra wee squeeze for Mumto5) and help yourself to :coffee:s, I think my kettle will be on permaboil all morning :) Hands off the m&s dark chocolate chunk shortbread though, that's mine :D

    Morning all. I was up by 6am Ionafan, and have completed all of the bedroom list, hoovered right through, walked the dogs and the bedding is now washed ready (I hope) to go on the line when I take a break from the paid stuff later.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Thanks for the lists :D

    I'm in of a fashion this week. House was cleaned top to bottom on Friday so I'm hoping if I can keep on top of that I'll be okay over the next few weeks. ;) Not caught up with the thread so hugs to all :D

    Today I have the man coming to do the gas safety check, and I need to go to pick some books up at home time. Otherwise my plan for today is to get caught up with the ironing and do some flinging now both bins are empty ;) Bedroom is already clean and tidy (boiler is in there :rotfl:) except for the junk pile which is waiting on me getting someone to come and collect it.

    Mon: Gas check, collect books, update finances
    Wed: DD off, errands town
    Thur: Work (order)
    Fri: Grocery shop
    Sun: Mothers Day

    To do this week:
    Buy cards & gifts for birthdays etc
    Order DD's school shoes
    Write packing list for DD going away
    Shredding
    Read 'to kill a mockingbird' so I can help DD with her homework
    Declutter kitchen
    Contact Ag3 UK about donations.

    Already done the majority of my dailies, just the dishes to do now and the rest is computer based :D :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    The rain hasn't actually arrived, but I got most of yesterday's washing in and have tumbled it to finish it off. The trolley is still out on the sundeck with a few things on hangers on the line above it, and I can whip all of that in at the first sign of water falling from the sky.

    Shower room sparkley, but the flushing mechanism on the loo has a broken part, so I need to scoot off to the plumbing shop to see if they've got anything in their casualty box that would do the trick. It's workable, but wobbly and if it doesn't get fixed now it'll snap completely later in the week. And we need another caddy down there - the current one is revolting, rusting around the bottom.

    Vaccuming from the bottom of the house up and the top down, planning to meet somewhere by the front door and the bedroom listy will be 100% done today. That way the house is somewhere near back to the level I'd like it to be after a month of not really giving it that much attention - tidying rather than cleaning has been the order of the day here. I rather suspect I'm not the only Flylady whose been that way inclined. I think it's the weather, myself.

    How did the weekend go, Pigpen?
    Better is good enough.
