Thank you for the thread Natty and pain easing wishes for you.

I'm going to rope the kids into a day of flinging and putting away. Tree chocolates are my bribe of choice.

DH and I have both woken up with sore throats. I suspect it's the beginning of a cold which is rotten timing. I think it's too late but I'm going to get some of the up nose squirt cold prevention stuff as it's helped before. Desperate measures!

I need to get dressed and walk the dog before heading off to work for an hour. I'll report back on progress later.

struck down with lergy here and having very little sleep. dd2 was shifting and restless for hours last night, until I got a bit cross with her, made her stay in her own little bed - which is the cot with the side down attached to our bed - and then didn't hear a peep until the morning fortunately, because frankly I can't take much more of it . I feel hungover but without having had any fun

Great list for today, all the things that really need doing. I'm on track for the ironing challenge (I only iron shirts and uniform anyway ) I'm hoping to get the washing baskets empty too! :eek:

I ordered a new uniform to help me - work gave me 2, but I work 3 days, so now I have one for every day and don't have to wash one mid week as soon as I take it off. Hoping to start a new regime for the new year where all 3 are clean and ironed by sunday

Having big squabbles already with the children, joy of joy, and have a child sitting on the step as we speak. Better get her off I suppose......

So sorry to hear so many of you are coming down with something. Flylady healing dust being sent in the very strong winds to you all.

DH is away to work (grumpty so glad of a bit of peace). DS1 away to work. Other two still asleep.

Going to do the dining room before the sweep comes and the LR after he has been, he may make dust!

mrs-moneypenny
