I think all Flyladies must be either sunbathing or doing end of term stuff. Seven hours and no posts!


I've been up to the attic again and there are six boxes of assorted stuff going to the CS tomorrow. Mostly books but a few other bits and pieces as well.

knittings actually... I don't do outside!!

Morning everyone

I was asked to do some extra work yesterday afternoon so the paid stuff had to take priority. I did manage to do the daily bits and pieces though. Going to put the dog bed and blankets in the wash this morning then work.

I have just dragged myself out for a run but actually feel like going back to bed now which is not like me at all! Maybe a shower will liven me up.

Hugs for the poorly ankle Dusty, hope you managed to get some sleep in the end.

Morning all.
sending hugs to all who need them xx
I haven't posted for a few days. It's been hectic here with school trips/plays/assemblies. I've been trying to get holiday shopping done before the kids break up. I've been busy upstairs and almost at my June/july challenge, my room and the boys are almost clean, tidy and decluttered (I still have a huge pile of junk in the living room though and a mass amount of bags of clothes in our room) and I stood on the scales this morning and I've lost my 5lb exactly. On my phone so can'tturn Iit blue but will update it next week anyway.

Thank you to whoever it was a while ago that recommend the miele hoover. After blowing up my vax yesterday do went and bought me one and it cleared the dog/cat hair and fluff straight up, no getting down on hands and knees and scrubbing the carpet with the pipe.

today I have reception leavers assembly, need to go shopping and then will sort downstairs before even looking in the room of doom (girls room!). Also noodles to sort ctc and a cc payment and get do to sort his paperwork.

Never got into the garden seems to have grown another foot overnight maybe later . . .
Ddog has the groomers at 11, my friend's meant to be coming for coffee around lunch time, I don't really fancy it but I have rain checked on him 3 times so can't do it again.
DD2's father finally paid some of the owed maintenance :eek::eek: so her mobile bill is now covered.
Off to strip my bed and put it in the WM before dropping DD1 to work. DD2 is trying to get me to write a note to get her out of p.e but as she's been so horrible recently I'm not going to :rotfl:

just_the_two_of_us

Wow see what you mean HB.
Just having breakfast then the man is coming to do the summer lawn treatment - cheaper than buying all the equipment ourselves - and we'd not know what to do and forget!!!

Vol job 1 this am
then more important calls and letters to post this aftenoon.

I have actualy put a stash of papers ready to sort on the ironing board - so will start that now. The idea is not to sort into different piles then re-stack when I next need to iron - but to actually put them away as I look at them!!!! I know my cane toad weaknesses re paper!!!

I didn't manage to get into the garage yesterday - but did find approximately 20! sycamore seedlings between our wall and the fence - so we got those (mostly) out. Need to get a membrane down and much more gravel so they can't root into the soil next year.

Feeling much more in control of things ie "stuff" here as now have a stack of "stuff" to take with me to cs. Why did we buy a suit carrier type suitcase - it has only been used a couple of times!!! The forecast for the weekend is a lot of wet stuff - so should be able to consolidate all to one room then move on from there - well that's the plan!

Wishing everyone going on holiday a great one - you deserve it. Hope everyone who is/has been poorly is recovering/ better.

Catch up later - x

Stripping the boys beds today... trauma central!!! lol. I'm doing my duvet too so I can get the thin one on the bed, it is roasting in my room in the depths of winter so even worse at the moment and I simply cannot sleep.


My rainbow blanket is coming on quite nicely

Cuppa made.. best find some party clothes for Squeaks leaving party!! I don't want her to leave it is a lovely nursery.
