  • Gosh this is much better. Got my essay done and sent, tooth feeling better and house tidy (just don't open any cupboard or drawer!)


    Think I will work on de-cluttering the kitchen drawers tomorrow morning whilst both children are at schools. I have done all dusting and glass cleaning today so should just be a quick hoover and wash up ( clothes and dishes) for dailies.


    Watching I'm a celebrity. Shame Gemma has left as she made me laugh on Mondays episode.


    Super hugs to all. xx

    I have broken up a table in sitting room. I never did like it so it had to go:) and one less piece to dust!

    katiecat, I did exactly the same with a cheap desk, in very similar circumstances to you. Very therapeutic :D

    I have done everything off my list today except deliver teddy (there was nobody in). The talk on my errant ancestor went very well and I managed to get all the shopping on my list :)

    CY, I am just about to start my HHI. Have you done yours?

    Hi all, sorry I've been so intermittent recently :o. I've yet to catch up on the thread, I will write this and then read back.
    Sad to hear the news about RosieBen :(.
    Took Dd and 2 friends to Bristol on Saturday so they could shop and had lunch out. DH and I got a good crack on with our shopping and I now only have 4 people to buy for. I have even got DH's!
    Poor Willow cat sliced her leg open on Sunday so that's cost us £425 :eek: and she has since removed 5 of the 6 stitches. There's 1 left and I don't think it'll go yet. Thankfully, the vet glued it too at her post op appointment. It's healing well.
    Now training Lily woofer to not murder my sheepskin rug as the carpet has been burned a couple of times by the fire. She can now jump the stair gate out of the kitchen too. Humph!
    Ok, off to catch up.
    I doubt the upstairs stuff will get done, I won't be hoovering upstairs while Willow's under house arrest, it's too stressful for her. I might get my bedding changed?

    Good morning everyone.

    Dailies and some of the living room done yesterday. Then DD came for lunch and Ozzy had his treat off her. He knows she will have something for him. She thinks he is like the cat off the cartoon Simons Cat because of what he gets up too.
    Wish SIL would text me back about Xmas present as I want it sorted.

    Want living room finished this morning then it's lunch and shopping with DD. Teatime it's off to my voluntary job in A&E.

    Gilly1964 I got a basic SAD lamp a month ago and Its helped me.
    Elastic money Welcome
    embb Healing vibes for Auntie.

    Hugs where needed.
  • Morning everyone

    Paid stuff this morning, back to the tyre place to get the car sorted, DS at psychologist this afternoon, our bedroom needs a good clean, and I need to do a bit of work on job number 2.

    Tired this morning for some reason.

    Good morning my flylady friends. I'm about to do the washing up of brekkie dishes and will then do some fluttering from the list before getting dressed, walking the dogs and starting the paid stuff.

    Thinking of you today Bossy.

    Morning everybody

    Little car going for new brakes today.
    I need to go to a neighbouring town to get school PE socks for DS3 and I'll have a look around the town whilst I'm there. Think I'll hoover and mop before I go.

    Bossy hope the day passes without too many tears x
