Hello............Skinty is back in from the cold!
22nd December 2014, I have never been MIA for so long.........someone is going to have to give me a concise version of all the flylady news that I have missed. If I read back that far it will be the end of next weeks thread and I still won't have the Skint Pitz sorted!
Right.......where is the listy! I will be back at 12 to get what I have done already crossed off and what I am going to crack on with now
:wave:The cold never bothered me anyway0 -
Morning all!
So far - washing done and hanging out to dry and shopping done.
Today will mostly be spent packingI will be away from tomorrow morning until Wednesday so won't appear on the new thread until at least then (not that I appear much in the week anyway
)

:wave: Welcome back Skinty , it's great to see you :j All your old FlyFriends are still here - some of us a bit more battered and frazzled than others, but we're still here
LW, lynnejk and froddy, enjoy your breaks from flying. Froddy, I suspect that yours is work related rather then a holiday.
Can't find phone charger: it's not in my suitcaseLoose on the back seat of the car, maybe?
DD is presumably out, as she's not answering the home phone
Have moved a large folder of family history papers from my filing cabinet to a box in the cupboard next to the other genealogy printouts, to be sorted later; the filing cabinet drawer now shuts properly
QHI done
DH sent to town and tip with a load of stuff out of his man cave
About to start my 10 min flying upstairs :cool:
Then :coffee: before I venture into the jungle. Anyone care to join me at 11.50?0 -
Hello again. Dog walk done although we'll be going out again soon. Have had a long overdue chat on the phone with friend, still need to call another one, just having a quick lunch. Eventually I will get out in the jungle with all of you!Spend less now, work less later.0

Hi skinty, I am sure there must have been something important that you have missed but I cant think of it. Just all the usually daily ups and downs, unless someone corrects me. Welcome home.
Well I have lost my motivation. Completely. I have been out and swept the patio and tidied up outside and have just put the 3rd load of washing in. Maybe a dog walk will stir me into action. I dont want to work so I am avoiding the office.
Come on someone - kick my backside into gear.0 -
Froddy, I suspect that yours is work related rather then a holiday.
Bit of both - Battlefields Tour (Iepers and The Somme) for 3 nights / 4 days. Myself and a TA with 2 students as part of a larger group from schools in Hampshire / Surrey.
Really should start packing ........................"There's only one way of life and that's your own" - Levellers

Thank you, it's good to be home.....I want everyone to know I thought of you all often, but it has been a very very weird few months.
I aim to be back to my regular quirky self with little things to make you all smile as soon as possible
Right, I did get a few things done, but not as much as I had hoped.
Decrumbed the toaster.
Gave the sink a good bleach bubble bath
Swept the kitchen floor
Hoover the hallway and computer room
removed the floordrobes from each room
main bathroom had a a good clean round and empty bottles junked
bin bag dance 2 big black bin liners (for shame)
swept the stairs
tidied my bedroom (DS old room - I have left the pit of despair behind me!) wiped the walls and paintwork in there.
tidied DD4 room, removed broken toys and baby-ish toys
cleared the floor of DD3 room (my old pit of despair) of half a ton of crockery and an assortment of nasty bits from under the bed, ready to hoover and then wash the carpet, the mattress.......yuck!
Right, I should really think of finishing off hoovering downstairs.
I did try and start painting my LR 4 weeks ago, but it has just been left so once the rest of the house is on its way, then I will get that finished off
Right, going to have a nap, it's been a hard graft start!

Was going to work in the garden today but DD1 has said she's off on Monday so she'll help me with it then
