Solwaykid I was just wondering how Bob got on at the vets the other day? Hope he is feeling better.

lil_me I do believe that you are superwoman! Flylady queen, and rescuer of animals in need. Yours and Megan's story was truly heartwarming. Was watching animal rescue today, and wished that I could adopt some more animals, but a) my OH wouldn't want to, and b) I don't think that Ebony would like it either. It used to be my dream when I was younger to own a rescue centre, so if I ever won a million, I think that's what I would do. Thank you for sharing your story and photos with us.

To everyone else who needs a hug, here you go::grouphug:

Happy flying everyone!

Welcome even more newbies, its a great place to start (massive thanks to lil_me for the thread each week) Just dont try to do it all at once.

Well thats it for me today, I'm not doing anymore apart from meals and tidying away afterwards. I have been slaughtering myself over trying to do everything, its impossible to do it all. All public areas of my house are tidy for the first time in years (ok except the downstairs loo and utility) and theres no clutter other than in the hotspots left, and for a large house that feels good as I've only been playing flylady for a month.

Wiping table
Mini hoovering downstairs

Extra Mission:

[STRIKE]Using the idea Shirley suggested, get yourself a bag or box, go around collecting things that are not in the place they should be, then put them back where they should be[/STRIKE] - clutter is only in the hotspots now

Dont overdo it ladies, I'm going to enjoy the sunshine - maybe play in the tent with DD :rolleyes:

Afternoon all

One load of washing done, dried and put away.

Level 2 done in living room. Hallway hoovered, kitchen S & Sd and hoovered. AND I pulled out the small freezer and hoovered behind it. (I dropped the timer behind and had to pull the freezer out to get it:eek: )

Made two lots of cake to freeze for lunchboxes and cleared kitchen up again after.

Took dog to vet for her annual booster.

Typed all this once before and the page crashed........

Wish me luck folks,

I'm going back into the oven. Going to see how much gunk I can get off it during an episode of The Archers (yes I know - I really *should* get a life!)

Then it's a fly round today's list, and finally prepare the big bowl of red, back and white currents I've picked ready to go in this year's Rumtopf.

I'll report back later,

:beer:
Less of that! I like the Archers too, I listen to the omnibus every Sunday morning lol

*edit - update* my daughter asked if her pal can come round, and the house is a tip! I said 3:30pm would be ok, but she has to help me clean and tidy her room (just come down from there, it's a big job!) there is a web of her hair all over the carpet.

Which reminds me, last night I saw the carpet in the bathroom which I didn't vacuum last week, there was a spider with it's leg caught in the hairy web coating that carpet. I rescued it! This is a problem I never envisaged with having two longhairs in the house

Pollybear

Poor little spider, I'm glad you were able to save it.
