    Thank you RT - hello and hope you're good. DH has pushed the trip back but until its finalised I can't even look at flights. EEK but I shall even if I have to (SHHHH put on a card) be going if I can.

    And yes I have more fish stock than I know what to do with.......:) tea anyone.

    I'm good for a good fish stew I reckon.

    Cheery - yes well, if I do it when I'm asleep or just woken, somehow it happens.

    Bagged the duvet and the pillowcases......must take them to charity shop today.

    Done 1 hour womble work.
    Done some of my admin hot spot and got stamps on what needs posted.

    A load to hang up before I head out.......

    Sunny here and actually, you know - warm.

    :D

    Mission today chaps.

    Straight from flylady (TM)

    Dear Friends:

    Your bathroom mission for today is to assess your supplies in the bathroom. It is errand day and make a list of the items that you need to stock your bathroom. Do you need toothpaste, deodorant, mouthwash, soap or shampoo? Remember, nothing says "I Love You" like having enough toilet paper.

    For the Laundry Room, do the same thing. Do you need laundry soap, bleach or fabric softner? Once again, nothing says "I Love You" like having clean underwear!

    Morning lands.

    I'll tell you something, if nothing else from flylady I'm getting the 'single touch' method.

    So far, 18 days in no stinky washing in machine I forgot to put out and had to rewash.

    And, dear hearts I actually TOOK the bag to the charity shop.

    Like within 24 hours.

    Wowser.......

    I have enough 'stuff' in bathroom and laundry so I've basketed up the 'cupboard under the bathroom sink' and later I'll go through it.

    So far I spy 5 bottles of cough medicine. Whoops.

    Well done you! :j :j

    We're looking after our furry pal (neighbour's dog) which somehow seems to take up all our time and attention... :rotfl: But I *will* wash my bathroom rug and towels (and catch up on the other missions for the week) and spend 15 mins in the attic (there's rubbish to bring out and also boxes to pack!) :)
