    Morning

    Just dashing in and out. Should have been for a run this morning but my foot is hurting for some weird reason so I am going to give it a rest this week. Might try some cycling later if I get time.

    Nearly time for our hols so a fair bit to do this week. Need to get quite a bit of paid stuff out of the way too.

    Have a good day everyone!

    Morning Flyladies :hello:

    I am in this week, thank you Natty for bossing us in the right direction.

    Boiler man is coming this afternoon so I would like the hall, lounge bathroom and kitchen to be reasonably ship-shape. Dusted and vacced yesterday but as ALL the windows have been open ALL weekend, there's a lot of traffic dust floating around and it might need another whizz through.

    I'm ever so tired this morning, DSD was banging doors at 2am after having had an argument on the phone with a friend and I didn't get back to sleep until well after 4 :( Once I've had coffee, think I'll vacuum the inner hall, right outside her bedroom :mad::rotfl:

    ETA, aww, lovely pics piggers, such a pretty girl :)

    Cooeee a bit of a mad weekend here !!

    Thank you for all the lists ladies and all the work that goes into them. xx

    Lovely photos Piggers thank you for sharing.

    OH's birthday weekend here, his 'kids' arrived, with their wife / husband, plus grandkids! my 2nd cousin got married, so evening photos were being sent to me by another cousin, while everone here as drinking and being very silly, and one of my nephews the fit one, did an ironman event and did vey well indeed, and I went to work during the day.

    Daily stuff has been kept up to date.
    So far today:-
    Stripped goodness knows how many beds
    Wm x about 6 on
    Stuff pegged out on line, run out of pegs and line, so the rest of it will have to sit wet, till some of it dries.
    Kitchen blitzed
    Floor done
    Bins of all sorts done
    Recycling of all sorts done
    Seem to have left 'kids' forgot to take with them:- childs tooth brush and 6 kids disney type dvd, brought to keep the grand kids amused, but not use as they were so busy play fighting / running around the garden with 'gramps'

    Have a good day, hugs all round, and I am sure I have missed stuff on last weeks thread xx
