    Morning all, no flying again this morning as caught up with some more paperwork. Will try to do what I can from the list later after the paid stuff.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Still carrying on with the cleaning - kitchen just needs the floor decluttering, brushing and mopping and then it's done. I've started on the DR but I need to clear the floor and table and hoover in there so hopefully that won't take too long.

    Oh well I'd better carry on!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    Been MIA as I've not had the computer on since I finished work on Thursday night :D

    I haven't caught up with the thread, so hugs, sticks, spoons to all :D

    DD has gone back to school today, and my plan is to get the house back to 'normal' and clear the ironing mountain after doing 10 loads of laundry yesterday (lots of bedding, towels & all the throws from the sofas as well as clothes!) and the ironing from earlier in the week which I didn't do. I have work tomorrow and Thursday, then errands to run Friday (on foot) so I need to get the house straight today! So I'm working from my own list, and if I get things done then I'll add in anything from todays list :p

    Kitchen:
    Wash up (after lunch)
    Tidy shelves / fridge / freezer
    Wipe sides / cupboard fronts
    Clear windowsill & wipe
    Wash mats
    Vacuum floor
    Mop floor
    Rehang door curtain
    Livingroom:
    Clear ironing pile
    Tidy up
    Dust
    Clean mirrors
    Vacuum sofas
    Vacuum floor (move sofas & tables)
    Mop floor
    Throws/cushions back on sofas
    Hall/stairs/landing:
    Vacuum
    Dust
    Bedrooms:
    Tidy
    DD's - put stuff away properly in cupboard
    Make beds
    Dust
    Vacuum
    Bathroom:
    Clean suite
    Vacuum
    'Mop'
    Clean towels

    Other:
    Work -
    Sort returns,
    Pay CC bills
    Update finances
    Re-lace DD's trainers
    Tea : Old English sausage, mash, beans
    Work on teddy
    Put crafting stuff away
    Help DD with her model plane so it can be cleared away tonight as I need the table tomorrow for work.

    Right, going to put one of my programmes on the lappy while I fold laundry and have a hot drink as I'm freezing. Then I'll get on with some ironing I think. That's the job that will take the longest. See you later. :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Kitchen 3/4 done, struggling to get motivated so it's taking longer than need be I think,

    Sorted out DS2's bank accounts with him
    WM1 done and on the maiden

    I don't fancy doing any of the jobs I have left at all!

    Afternoon flyladies :hello:

    Been out all morning as DS2 had a pile of cash in his birthday cards and it was already burning a hole in his pocket :D So we've visited Tesc0 and used the £4 off voucher on a game and some figures to go with, plus Sainsbobs for birthday tea fodder (he has requested an Italian feast :)) and added a few bits to the trolley to take us over the threshold to get £9 off there too :money:

    Kitchen isn't too bad, all things considered, I've WUDUPA since we got back and put all the shopping away. DS2 wants to play on his xbox, NATCH, so I think DD and I will declutter some TV while I catch up on the ironing.

    Have been thinking that I need to shed a few pounds myself, my clothes are all just a bit too tight, I'm probably 2 stone heavier than I was at my thinnest, and a stone over what I'd ideally like to be. I've never tried a formal "diet plan" so I will be following all your SW progress with great interest! TBH my food intake isn't too bad, it's the booze which has made me put on so much weight :o Time to put down the muddler and step away from the mojitos I think ;)

    Just catching up with thread over a coffee.
    So far done zumba, tried new aqua zumba which was somewhat odd as the stereo had broken!

    emailed students to find out if any of them want a lesson this week so I can plan my timetable.

    Texted 2 friends both of whom are currently undergoing chemo/awaiting surgery for same. Poxy disease.
