WM1&2 on the line

IK£A shop done.

Kitchen a mess so that is my fist target and then to make something wtih the apples a neighbour gifted.

Decko hugs sweetie, you could always buy yourself a little gift 'from' your Nan and DH or donate to a food bank or charity in their memory.

Yesterday DS1 gutted his room so it is all tidy and clean and now he is doing the little car,

Slightly out of order this week - kitchen was done Monday. Floor has been washed three times since then after a bottle of very sticky squash was tipped over!

Yesterday I was flying in the garden instead as the sunshine was lovely. Today I have done the main bedroom, in little flurries as did too much yesterday and run out of energy very quickly.

:hello: to all my Flylady friends

Pigpen - thanks for the recommendation on the needles. Thanks for offering your friend's set but I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass at the moment (I may get them as an Xmas present to myself or ask father Christmas for them )


Dusty - thank you for the hugs. I've already made a donation to a hospice. I'll also get my Nan some flowers and go to the crem.

Ooh we are a day ahead of plans with loft.... Should be done tomorrow as big furniture is built so can move her clothes and crap and mattress up tomorrow along with all her lego and I need to build a DVD storage unit. Normal housework can wait other than washing and kitchen stuff
