    Hello all - I'm in again. I did fairly well last week and the house is looking much better now already but I forgot to post Thurs & Fri (I think?) Miserable, wet day here so perfect for flying.

    MIL coming to stay Thursday :eek: so doubly important for me to keep on top this week.

    Monday ~ Stairs, Landing & Bathrooms
    15 minutes...

    Declutter floors!
    Mop/vacuum/sweep floors
    30 minutes to spare...
    Clean the bath, basins, shower trays and loo's
    Wipe the window legdes
    Extras
    Empty and wash out bins

    The "paint toenails" one made me chuckle - at 9 months pregnant, I haven't been able to reach (or see) my toes for months! :rotfl:

    Bed stripped and re made
    Whole of house hoovered
    WM x 2
    TD on the go

    All bins emptied, washed out and air drying
    Kitchen blitzed

    Morning flyladies :wave:

    Thankyou natty and dusty, as always. I am joining in for fun and japes this week, everywhere is… ok at the mo but bitter experience tells me that I'd I take my eye off the ball for even a few hours, chaos descends :eek:

    I have WUDUPA the breakfast things, decluttered DH and DS1 to work and school respectively and chivvied DS2 along -- a reasonable start to the morning :)

    Once I'm back from the school run I will towel myself down (it's piddling here) and then get my listy sorted for today.

    Hope all are well, I will catch up properly later xx

    Morning all

    Let's put more effort in this week, I feel lots of us are coasting. This does not include those on the sick or flybaby list.

    I'm off for an hours flying before taking DS3 to the GP to see if my diagnoise of OSD is correct.

    URGH!!!! .. the roll is derolled.. Pixie is poorly, she has croup by the sounds of this breathing and cough :( So I've had maybe 3 hours broken sleep... I'm not sure if I want to be sick or cry or just die of sleepiness... My tum isn't very happy as a result.

    And my washing can't go out as it's raining so airers it is then.

    I need to bath poorly bunny today again.. he likes it fortunately. He was crazily licking OH's hands when we bathed him on Saturday.

    DS3 being a kn()b... pretending he has no school shirts so he is going to be superlate.. he has at least 7 or 8 shirts, there are 3 in the washing machine wet.. and they are all he has supposedly.. so I just reeled off what he has in each size.. they changed their sizing from 34,36,38 to SML so he has some of each.. but I grabbed a bargains and got 4 size 38's during the changeover at £4 each a while back.

    Oh I need sleep!!!

    I have lasagne planned for tonight... though I might prepare it and throw it in the fridge for tomorrow.. Moomin has a hospital appointment after school so someone else can fling it in the oven when I set off back... yeah.. I'll do that.. and do mash and something tonight.. I have lamb and sausages which were supercheap a while back.. that'll feed everyone I think....

    Kettle and rennies and sugar fix first I think.
