    Fmess - I've just finished dusting the bedrooms. All of upstairs is clean and tidy which doesn't happen very often! Downstairs is not too bad, quite tidy but will be where I start my flying next week.

    Seeds all sown
    DH has sawn all the wood. We have removed the broken old will hurdle and once the wood (from a pallet from neighbour's building work has been stained it can just be nailed on and that is another job complete.

    DH just collecting DS3 from the cricket club - he has been up there for 7 hours with the men's first team scoring! He'll still not want to come home.

    DS1 at work

    DS2 has completed his student finance form and made his final decision on his firm and insurance offers - I am so dreading his going, sad I know.

    I cannot believe how no one has been on since the last post !! 11hours!!! How busy are you all?

    Yesterday threw af at me!! First since pixie arrived so I am well and truly battered now!!

    Got new trainers for the girls , they need new boots but the shop had none so goodness knows where we will find those!

    I must bath bunny today, it's been too cold the last few days but I will put the heating on just for him!!

    Opticians piddling us about more .. I am seriously considering going elsewhere next time!!

    Ooh!! I ordered the new school uniforms for September.. They have to be ordered by the end of may otherwise I would have left it.. Just shoes, coats, bags and contents , trousers and skirts to buy but no rush (or money) there!!

    Coming to bed at 10pm is a big mistake!! I have been awake since 5 with no hope of sleep!! I hate doing this!! I was just in a lot of pain last night and pixie woke so I came to bed... Gggrrrrrr. My back is really painful, not sure how but hoping it is not signalling my need for another new mattress I really cannot afford that !!

  • Morning all - sorry I'm late!!! Been awake since 5 reading a new book!

    Not sure what the plan is for today - HHE after breakfast then more paperwork I think. Made great strides with it yesterday - did about an hour. Still loads more to do though. If I can get an hour done each day - without creating any more that is - I might just have eaten the greater part of my oldest frog by the end of the week.:o No promises though as I have a busy week!

    Need to phone the holiday firm to see about our flight times as not yet booked airport parking. Only 7 weeks to go!!!

    Have a great day everyone.x

    Hello everyone. I used to be a flylady but I have been AWOL for a while. But today I have decided that I need to get back on the wagon. I'm not like the hoarder next door but just need the motivation to get something done everyday rather than being a slave to the housework all weekend. Obviously my motivation has started with a strong cup of coffee and turning the computer on!

    Morning lovelies :wave:

    Currently eating peanut butter on toast in bed but shall make a proper move to get up soon, in my defence ive been awake since 6.10 and made 2 brews, let the dog out and back in and fed her, fed the cat and kicked her back out after a tickle, and surfed the net looking at wallpaper.

    No list as such today, ive changed my flying/cleaning routine so Sunday is now a day of rest-ish, just washing to do really and the usual gibble of dailies :j Off out for roast lunch later and a mooch round the shops, need to purchase cleaning supplies for elderly customer today too.

    have a fab day flying peeps x x

    Morning all

    Welcome home Dora.

    DS1 away at work
    DS2 studying
    DS3 about to go to cricket training, DH taking him and collecting new wood stain whilst out.

    All calm. I'm writing a shopping list then shower, Mr L, Mr M and an online Mr S shop for later in the week - determined to meal plan this week as cricket and work seasons are about to kick off for the next 2 months here.

    Well after my absence I have made a start:
    DW emptied
    WM descaled and WM x1 - hoping to hang out if weather holds. En-suite cleaned, window and ledge cleaned - just nipping back to wash the floor. Feeling positive.
