Morning everyone.

I don't know where this week has gone. It has flown by.

Living room done
Bathroom done
Bedroom done.

Will tackle kitchen when I get home tonight.

Out shopping with DD yesterday for a stair carpet for her. Usually it takes her ages to choose anything it's the same when grocery shopping and does my head in. Love her really. . She picked a one straight away though.

Need to be up early as I want to nip up the street before I go to my vol job.

Hugs for Natty. bossy and LW

Morning all

Hugs, spoons, sticks and vibes to all as I haven't caught up but will do tomorrow while I do some admin work

I've lost the past 2 days to work and I'm loosing most of today to errands with DD so flying is minimal atm. I'm glad to report that although we got egged with it being mischief night (it sometimes happens randomly through the year as well :mad:) this time they missed the windows and just got the walls so a small victory :rotfl::rotfl: Also means no clean up for me so I can get out and on with stuff for a change

DD is back to school on Monday, and I have loads on so I'm really hoping that I can get some flying done this weekend with DD's help. Mainly getting her room sorted ready for her Christmas stuff. Going to see if I can get her to part with some of the games she hasn't played since she went into seniors!

Best get moving. :wave:

morning all
sorry i missed yesterday i had a day off, i knew id offered to go on a school trip but thought it was in november, was checking something on school website wednesday night and saw pdf for trip letter thought id see what was planned and spotted the date 30th oct:eek: quick text to confirm then rushed to find walking boots and pack up. actually had a lovely day at bosworth battle field with the school and was very impressed with their new visitors centre, the falcon lady (in full costume) and the tour guide who went on the battlefield walk with us. going to nip round mils this morning and do her cleaning and put some no trick or treaters please posters up for her.

LW sorry it was so unpleasant but i hope it means answers are found and treatments made possible for things to improve.
hugs to everyone who needs them ive had a quick backread but not retained much.

been out this morning and planted all my bulbs and winter flowers, and made the last cushion cover, all recycling is on the front there were loads of bags of paper and card after the magazine cull in the attic.
i think once the garden bags are emptied today, i will be able to fill them again and that will be the last of the conifer all bagged up and ready to go in 2 weeks time so i will finally be rid of it:T

doing mils this morning then have some sewing jobs to do so i think ill leave yesterday and todays lists and catch them next time round.

sweets have been bought for tonights trick or treaters (joy of living so close to the school you work at all the kids know where i live)


Make a list of just 5 things that you will achieve in October
get replacement fence fitted to give neighbours (and us) privacy back - booked work should start in november
get garden ready for winter - fence creosoted and all summer stuff in shed
knit another baby blanket - did a cowl and some prem hats for baby hospital instead
plant all tulip and daff bulbs all planted along with the wallflowers plugs i got
do a fair amount on celtic noel cross stitch. done a fair bit over the weekend
new cushion covers made for lounge all 5 now done

think ill count that as a success, with the october challenges

Sushistar Absolutely, you've got it! It all comes around again, and also each time you get a little quicker as it isn't as hard to do. I think decluttering first is key - you can't clean quickly if you spend masses of time playing relocation, relocation...
Please don't think that my house is immaculate, it certainly isn't, but without flylady, I'd be living in total chaos!

Beautiful morning here, so early walk round field. Waiting for online shop delivery, then hope to spend lots of time outdoors. There's plenty of gardening at home, and at the allotment.

pigpen Storage crate - maybe the answer to the knitting bags. Or I could just sew the finished ones up...

Kitchen Done on Tuesday.

Valli

Morning all

collected DD from Uni for a long weekend home. Taking her to see the baby this afternoon so not much flying today although the WM has been on - twice, and I have pegged out.

Living room is utter tip as DD has wrapped her Christmas presents.

Went to Meadowhall en route home. Saw two exciting things...

this was one

and he was the other

but he doesn't look like that now. :rotfl:

Honey_Bear

Who, Valli? Lovely wreath, but it still looks the same second time around.

Shower room sort of scrubbed; the bits that matter have been given a thorough going over but the shower tiles have been ... left ....

WM churning - it's sunny here! It'll be great to clear the backlog even though it'll mean playing the laundry hokey cokey tonight.

Sushistar, I'm paraphrasing this, but I think it says in Toots wonderful welcome post that it didn't take a day, a week or even a year to get the place into the state it's in, and not to beat yourself up if it takes a while to get back on top of it all. I'm amazed at how much difference even 15 minutes a day makes over a relatively short space of time.
