I'm another one who tries not to see this list/fred as a challenge. I see it as having some company while I'm doing what has to be done. I hate to think I'm the only one in the whole world doing any housework!

Me too, although sometimes when I am about to sit down I think of the other flyladies doing their stuff and it encourages me to do a bit more.

Soo, just finished the paid stuff (with a visit to the hairdresser in between jobs). Keeping an eye on DS1 who has been very lonely and unhappy today as DS2 was out with friends and he has no-one to be with. Promised him a trip out somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

Have tidied the living room and half heartedly flicked the duster round. OH watching a film in there now so he is not going to appreciate me hoovering and I am bu@@ered now anyway. Will catch up tomorrow.

Well done pigpen, great achievement!

just_the_two_of_us

Yes - well done Pigpen - I am going to take a leaf out of your book tomorrow am - and that's a promise.

Didn't get half of my list done but flapjack made and delivered - without being tested!!! Mr t order put away - fridge tidied - more ironing done and all put away.
DH made dinner and washed up too.
Wardrobes tidied so i have somewhere to hang ironed hol clothes.
Handbag tidied.
Bag for CS - maybe more tomorrow.

Sleep well everyone x

Valli

managed to get to town.

Took a pair of ankle boots in for heeling and soling (to collect fri)
Been to savers for bargains (I love that shop - half the price of the supermarket for branded goods)
Took 7 bags of change to bank. Cashier let me off having 2 more than they normally accept in one go because it was quiet (and I was polite). Obviously totally innocent look on face worked
Offered to buy son (20) sweeties for journey. He selected a £1.00 bag. I therefore extorted 50p from him for said sweeties because I hadn't planned on paying £1. Son is visiting GF at Uni and has gone by bus.
Been to card factory and bought ALL the cards I need for this month (June) 5 birthdays; fathers day and a sympathy card for friend and hubby as huibby's father has passed (92) plus pack of thankyou cards in case I get anything I need to be thankful for (last Xmas I couldn't find the ones I like so I buy a pack when I see them, now) Spent £8.40 so not bad, I suppose.
Got credit on phone with Boots gift card bought from Morries because then I get 1p a litre off petrol!

Evening all

I don't seem to have gotten much achieved again today myself. I spent the morning dealing with email and surveys I haven't done in over a week Did some more clearing up on DDs shoes but it was driving me crazy so I stopped, 3 loads of laundry washed & dried. Then this afternoon I've helped DD make some bread, but its not looking very successful. Think we need to stick to no knead versions first so we're trying a no knead recipe which involves it rising over night. I don't think DD has bread bakers hands, whereas I seem to :rotfl:

DD also spent an hour in her room sorting out 3 of her 5 dresser drawers She's half filled a carrier bag and has said she'll get on with the rest tomorrow

Personal:
Labels in uniform
Belt loops on trousers
Sewing repairs (School bag, quilt cover, my small bag)
DD shoes - made a start and its going to take longer than I thought!

Clean bins out - Next week when the recycling bin is emptied as well, but only if all the builders from over the road haven't parked in front of my house again. :rotfl:

Sort DD's clothes / drawers / box pile :mad: - DD done 3 drawers 5 to go (including desk) then onto hanging clothes & then boxes.
