    Morning all

    Mogs fed, having a cuppa and then I'll feed the kittens.

    Should be back from meeting by 9:30 then I want to spend at least an hour on paperwork. Think other than dailies/bathroom I will concentrate the rest of this week on the DR leaving all bedrooms until next week, they are not bad at all and hopefully that will see real progress in the DR.

    Morning All

    By the time I'd been shopping after work yesterday and done the tea I was fit for nothing after waking up at 4 so no flying done. I didn't sleep very well last night either as I woke up at 1.30 to go to the loo and then was awake for a couple of hours and now I'm coughing again. Tonight it will be as much as I manage to do when I get home from work and then I've got a meeting so I will be shattered when I eventually get into bed tonight.

    I did catch up on the thread last night but then didn't post and can't remember what anyone said - sorry.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all. Just had breakfast here. Love the list but remember what it's like having use of only one arm, no fun at all.

    I'm going to find something to declutter and then give the bathroom a quick clean before dog walking and the paid stuff.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all, hope all are as well as can be
    Bossy I hope your procedure is as painless as possible and causes as little hassle as possible to you and yours. I agree sometimes it's no fun being a woman.
    Natty thank you for tomorrow's list, I'm going to be a lightweight and use both arms, as I achieve little enough with the two some days and seem to struggle to keep up.
    Possibly have mils cleaning as well today it I need to clear the landing at least before I go. I'm sure you chose that for today after reading what a state I'd left it in yesterday LOL!
    Suppose I'd better finish this cuppa and get up and at it.

    Morning morning. 15 mins this morning before work spent tidying bedroom and polishing all surfaces. A surprising number of bits and bobs to return to their homes! Surfaces much quicker to polish now rule of 5 applied - no more than 5 items on one surface (still need to work on chest of drawers - that will be tonight's job!)

    Good Morning, Fly Ladies and Gentlemen :)

    Still tired from my trip to LDN yesterday. Loooong day that was. However, pleased to see that yesterday was Living Room! I did that on Sunday, so it only needs 5 minutes attention to make it respectable again.

    Will catch up on the thread over coffee later. In the meantime, here's my list for today...

    Wednesday ~ Master Bedroom and Landing
    [STRIKE]Strip, wash and replace bedding with one arm !!!!!
    Declutter the floor and[/STRIKE] vacuum upstairs and down!

    Wipe over paintwork and window sills
    Dust and deweb with one arm !!!

    Clearing the bedroom floor and putting clothes away will take at least an hour (my bedroom is a dumping ground) so, while the list is short, it's not as easy as it looks :D

    Morning all :)

    *waves wildly at Valli* The Misses Shattered are definitely more Ms Shattereds these days. 17, 14 & 13. The house is full of raging hormones. Deep joy!
    Clinic day for me today, so whizzing off in a minute to do that. Then shopping. Then home to tackle the list. Not sure if my strength levels are good enough to change the bed by myself, but it can't hurt to try. :p
