    Morning everyone.

    I'm in. Thanks for the lists Natty and Dusty.

    Yesterday I gutted the spare room. Two bags of stuff binned. Three bags for CS. Next step is to clean the windows and paintwork.
    Did some washing and a quick tidy. Was out all day Saturday at a March in town.

    Ginger ninja doing well and has settled with two pouches of wet food and small amount of dry. Hope he loses a bit of weight.

    Should get a fair bit done today. Kitchen floor was washed last night.

    Take bags to CS
    Dailies
    Kitchen list.
    Make soup.

    Dusty fingers crossed for DS1 girlfriend.
    lynnejk Hugs.

    Morning

    Cold snowy morning, and we have no central heating!! However we are managing OK with the log burner blazing and the fan heaters going. Goodness knows what its doing to our electricity bill.

    Busy day as ever. Paid stuff, grocery shopping, then more paid stuff if I can squeeze it in!

    DS was feeling down last night but I am not sure I have an answers really. And DS2 has woken up tired after 10 hours sleep!

    Morning all. I'm in again, hope you're all ok, will catch up on reading later.

    So far today, I've walked the dogs, dusted really dusty bits in LR, washed up the breakfast dishes and had a tidy up and clean in the gym.

    Looking at the list now, and its the pet food cupboard for cleaning next.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Scrap that about the cupboard, DH has just asked for cooked breakfast before the paid stuff. I could strangle him sometimes.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Back again after a distinct fail last week. Spent the weekend at mum's so am completely cream crackered as we start this week.


    Mum drove me back to the station yesterday - her driving was memorable! She wavered all over the road on one of the rural sections and nearly drove into a stationary car when we got to the station. I really don't think she should be driving - is there anything I can do about this? my sister's attitude was just to shrug and ask what I expected.....


    Do any of my flylady friends have experience of dental implants? Mum's latest whim is to have 5 at £2.5K each. Can anyone tell me how long the process takes? and at approaching 87 is it a good idea?


    DD2 and fianc! struggling with househunting. Anything in their price bracket is either in a very dodgy area or is too far away for commuting by bike(esp for DD2 as she works split shifts some days).
    If anyone can spare some positive vibes for a house at the right price in the right area I would really appreciate it.


    Right - off to get the washing onto radiators and into the drier. it's already had a couple of attempts at snowing today....

    Welcome Dotty Bear :)

    I'm going to attempt to be in again this week - kitchen floor and fridge were on my list for today anyway :D

    I have a mountain of washing to get through - lots from DH clearing out his stuff and discovering some had got all dusty and musty smelling (apparently though this is stuff he still needs :mad:......)

    one of the kitties went missing last week, which was one reason I didn't post much as we were feeling much too sad. She went out sunday evening and didn't come back until wednesday, a bit thinner, starving hungry and with a very loud miaow. Such a relief for all of us, the kids had been having nightmares and crying about her, it was like a little miracle that she came home.

    must crack on will be late for school at this rate!!!

    No fail, just a blip :D

    Successful househunting vibes aplenty coming your way.
    This was brought up on another thread - wrong area for your DD2, I know, but worth a look just for the WOW! factor :rotfl: Hope it brings a smile to your face :)

    LOL Ionafan!


    Sadly the way my house is going mine will resemble that one in a couple of months. I have DD2 and her OH here and all the stuff that was supposed to go in their flat. Also DS's girlfriend is living here pretty much all of the time. a semi that was too small for the 5 of us is now accommodating 7 of us.
