    Not much done today really. Tomorrow and Friday we plan to clear some crap from the loft including bricks from the chimney we are removing....then I'll have to clean the hall stairs and landing after I've been to do my dinner lady job. We also have a new toilet seat which I'm very excited about. Have taken 4 carrier bags of crap to charity shop from daughters room and made 2 bags of rubbish.
    Have a Bsc Hons open degree from the Open University 2015 :j:D:eek::T

    I have had a quick skim read back, not a great deal has sunk in sorry x

    Having a rubbish week, all small people have a sickness bug. I managed to escape to Asda for half an hour with my sister, some kid about 3-4 whacked me in the leg while I was walking through the entrance.

    I turned to see who he was with and got a reply from some woman that had had a hard paper round, tab in hand " he thought it was our Donna" Oh did he really!!! like that's an acceptable way to greet people.

    Anyway I just carried on walking and bough myself a little cake lol. Diets out of the window, house is a mess, I think I am feeling a bit Ill too actually.

    Hope you are all having a better day then I am :D

    Thursday's Frog Feast is going to have to be the craft cupboard. I think I'm going to have to let some more stuff go from in there and not wanting to embark on that is telling me how Froggie it is. Two days of making decisions and finding it liberating should have set me up for being utterly ruthless with the contents.

    None of this room is going to be finished by the end of tomorrow, but two more days will see the back broken. This is where everything ends up until I know what to do with it, so it needs an annual clearout like this to get to grips with the worst of it. Letting the detritus go from both degrees was amazingly easy today and it's taken several years to be ready to let go.

    Thanks Dusty. This week's list idea has really helped; I'm only sorry you've been so under the weather you haven't been able to enjoy it.
    Better is good enough.

    Evening

    Wrk done, left on time to get home to watch tennis, however car starts to 'clonk' so pull into the ind estate near home thinking I have a flat tyre, nope, drive slowly in ind estate still 'clonking' so drives round to local garage, they will look at it tomorrow morning, hopefully before I have to be at work or I have another problem as how to get to work a taxi is £20!! ekk. but I am on the late shift, so I may be albe to convince them to get it done.

    So I walk the 2 miles home, and some how trip on a rough edge, and now have jarred my back or something like that................

    Managed to feed cat, and cold meat / roll for me, lying at a funny angle on sofa, typping and watch tennis.

    Bonnie "Struggling today, taking it slowly & trying to count every small thing as progress "

    So scrub everything off those lists and just potter. I'm not 100% and that's what I've done (you may keep one if it makes you feel better!)

    Yesterday's ironing finished, washing on the line, Iron and board put away.

    Thanks Dusty,I love this week's list and although WM flooded the kitchen floor( hose leak) I managed a semi deep clean.

    Good evening fly ladies. sorry i have been missing in action i managed to smash my laptop at the weekend dropped a can of furniture polish on it and it's currently being repaired so i'm on my phone instead. I have spent 22 hours in thegarden this week with Team Skint putting in young Skint sitting we have collectively put in over 60 hours since Monday. 47 garden rubble sacks of finely minced garden detris taken to dump......still need to do more but have put tarpaulin over most of the flat ground in case of rain. Today has been a take it easy day as I managed to mess up my medication with grapefruit and barley water last night. Dd1 and I cleaned kitchen together. I did WU while standing my feet in a bowl of R@dox while DD1 did DUPA, cleaned the counters and went on a hunt for dirty crocks

    Ds Has been very thoughtful and brought me two bunches of camomile. One in a jar of water and one to make me a soothing cup of "Camel Tea" best cup of camomile tea ever sweet and not at all bitter. Dd2 was very impressed too.

    Lr and my BR degibbled....will look at listy properly tomorrow. ...nighty night
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Morning everyone (just joking I'm back to running late :( )


    I have been doing really well getting my hours sorted. Up at reasonable time, bed at reasonable time etc and then this morning I just didn't hear the alarm - overslept - all arrangements and meals late - and then work shifted to late - now still WIDE AWAKE :mad: Have to start all over again.


    Don't know how you survive on 3 hours sleep Pig-pen :eek:


    So sad about Andy Murray today - he just didn't seem to be on the game eh. Mind you I think it must be difficult defending his 1st win at Wimbledon last year and only 4 men have done so before.


    If it's gone I've done it

    Monday - Downstairs Dash
    mop all the floors you can see

    Tuesday - Declutter Day
    Go through book-cases and box up for CS anything not required on future voyage

    Wednesday - Deep Clean Day

    Pick the Deep Clean Job you have been putting off for .........
    it might be the oven/fridge/freezer etc and do it FIRST !

    Give kitchen a really good clean - from top to bottom and inside out.


    Watch Wimbledon

    Thursday - Frog Feast
    Line them up and shoot them down !!!!!

    Start with a BIG one and do for an HH then tackle a few small ones to spur you on.
    If time go back for another HH on the BIG one

    Better have another DASH like Monday to keep on top of things

    Watch Wimbledon

    Friday - Unwieldy Upstairs

    Have to change bed linen and
    Change towels through the house
    Make sure washing up to date

    Clean bathrooms and toilets - to your own standard
    Do any ironing/shoe cleaning etc for the week-end

    Watch Wimbledon


    My list

    Find all DH income for last year
    Fill in WTC form for this year
    Turn up linings for spare room curtains
    Turn out drawers in side cupboard in sitting room and sort
    Do at least two hours in Room of Doom sorting paperwork
    Freeze spare herbs
    Make pesto
    Cook something NEW !!

    June/July Challenge
    Haven't done much exercise but have done a lot of walking last two weeks and have managed to lose 2 lbs :)

    Yesterday I put on Leslie Sansone on Youtube and did Walk a mile


    I haven't done much off lists today and had late shift at work and not home until 8.45 this evening. I did manage to make yoghurt, make lunch and dinner and WUDUPA. Did deep-clean of kitchen apart from floor and all dailies.


    It has been quite warm and windy here this week and so have had door and windows open. I noticed everywhere looking a bit dusty so ran round and dusted whilst keeping an eye on the tennis.


    Did an on-line MS and some surveys and decluttered my inbox.


    (Hugs) and good vibes to all feeling un-well or tired or just a bit down and hope you all soon back to full health and vigour. I'm posting a sprinkle of happiness and a shower of sparkles for you all to share.


    Hope you all have a tremendous Thursday
