    Go for it, Valli! Good luck and don't hide your light under a bushel :cool2:

    Welcome to new and returning flyladies.

    WMx1 already on line, x2 in WM, x3 in utility ready for its turn. Another beautiful day here.

    Must do loads of work before SW so that I am ready for this afternoon's new course. Hope everyone has a good day. Froddy, please listen to your body telling you that it can't cope with getting well *and* flying - baby steps, if any!

    Bossy, yup thats me, not enough hours in the day!

    Good luck Valli, keeping everything crossed for you.

    Bit of a fuzzy head this morning, feel like I have been on the booze. Even with the windows wide open the house felt really stuffy last night.

    I have a rather large frog in the shape of some voluntary paperwork sitting on my desk and I dont want to touch it. It really needs to be done by Monday.

    But paid stuff to do first. Off to water the pots on the patio, hang the washing out and get ready for work. Might ask the boss if I can have Friday off as its really quiet at work and I havent taken many holidays yet this year.

    Have a good day all!

    Good luck vibes to Valli :D
    Very pleased you enjoyed you holiday and now have pooches to care for LW.

    Did not do well with lists yesterday had a phone call that really annoyed me at 9am, my mother such a nasty woman, I love her but we will never get on.

    So today I need to scrub my kitchen as my new cooker arrives tomorrow, I am going to give my old one a once over, it was properly scrubbed 2 weeks ago so its not too bad. I need to think of something easy for tea.

    Yesterday I WU and did 3 loads of washing which all dried but now need ironing :) .

    Good morning ladies. Thanks for the new thread Natty.

    Job getting wishes for Valli.

    I was a taxi for DS2 yesterday. He has a summer job working in Macd0nalds and had a good interview at college and has been offered a place on his intended L3 course. It was a long day and we didn't get back until 6.30.

    The insurance assessor comes today to see the damage from the en-suite leak. I'm expecting a phone call at 10 to tell me when to expect him.

    DS3 has a taster day at the Senior school. This time next year he will be finishing year 6. His shoulder is still very painful.

    I'll take the kids to school, walk Coco and come back to commence my list. Wishing everyone a good day.

    Good luck Valli.


    I didn't manage the whole list yesterday, but the kitchen floor was swabbed, the oven cleaned (yik) and various cupboards and appliances wiped over. Rather a lot for me in one day at the moment so I don't feel I underachieved.


    The June Challenge is a real Challenge for me. I should be able to manage a few little extras but I'm really struggling with it. It's given me a focus on why I don't achieve as much as I hope to, and that's been wonderfully helpful. Bossy, do you think you'll be doing a July Challenge?
    Better is good enough.

    Hi all, new to this thread.

    I still live at home with my parents and I get my mother nagging at me to clean my room on my days off.

    So today I think I will try and endure cleaning maybe tonight? After I've lied in the sun a bit.
