  • Hey thanks LynneJK - have printed off your info about mossie bites and will do religiously - perhaps will be able to sit out this year!!!

    If you did hugs Pigpen you would be getting the biggest one ever now. Sorry about your bunny and strength for you all and DD.

    Catch up later. xx

  • Morning all,
    Kaz I hope you slept?! If you'd like to borrow my GPS Handheld in the summer for caching I can bring it down? You'd need to get suitable maps on it but there are good open source ones you can download for free.

    Thanks for the welcome messages!

    Sorry to loss of DH's cousin (sorry, I can't remember your name - I'll learn who everyone is soon!) and to pigpen(?) for the loss of your bunny.

    Yesterday DS and I did the following:
    [STRIKE]Get rid of any cobwebs that have moved in...
    Remove clutter from floors, chairs and fireplace[/STRIKE]
    We also put the recycling out and did all the little bins around the house, emptied the dyson canister, and cleared a hotspot (top of the table in the hallway).

    DH came home to me winding yarn and nattering about doing flylady like Karen... It was so out of context he thought I was talking about a new knitting pattern :rotfl:

    Hugs to all those that need them :)

    Regarding the mossie bites- when we went to Kenya we took garlic capsules as heard they don't like the taste of garlic and we didn't get bitten once!

    Im behind on the list, I really want to get everything done every week as I am at home all day apart from Sundays. Im hoping after doing the first couple of weeks each task won't take as long as its still reasonably clean/tidy from the last time! So this is what is left, I obviously need a good flying day to get anywhere near to catching up. Doesn't help when I've hardly slept as DD was up every hour last night. I really don't know whats wrong with her, she doesn't seem to teething. Last baby wasn't like this, once he was sleeping through then that was it unless he was poorly.

    Anyway what's left (and Thank You for today's list), Sorry for super duper long post!

    HHI .. I really need to do this!!!!!! I don't iron until items are needed so will spend this time putting clothes away
    Clean the grill pan.. if you line it with tin foil it is much easier to do next time!!

    Morning all. Hugs to all esp Bossy, Piggers and LW.

    I've been dipping in and out this week but quite pleased with what I'm achieving. About to kick of today's paid stuff which will be interesting with workmen here too.

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