    Right.. I hope you're all seated..

    My chimney which had the fire removed a full year ago has finally been capped off... I can bomb those terracrappa tiles off and get the fireplace boxed in so it is a functional space and decorate the room.. I'm so excited.. I really need to get a life lol


    As a result.. backroom tidied and vacuumed, hallway vacuumed washing all washed, folded and away, DW x2, WM x4 and lots of phone calls made and appointments made too. solicitor in the morning and my message to WC (whomperc**t .. 3 steps lower then KH) for the day is ... bring it on.. your violence, bullying, emotional abuse is going to be dragged through the court.. and that b***h is going to have ALL her disgusting laundry aired, publicly.. If I have to take out a loan to cover the costs I will!! .. Kind of hoping ebay can work for me.


    Anyway.. I am going to do a few more pics to list while OH is out... I think he mentioned the gym..

    Apparently I agreed to DD2v having a friend stay over.. she is going to tidy the front room as payment lol.

    Thanks, mrs-moneypenny - I now need to hope we win a bottle of stout tomorrow night. :drool:

    So far this afternoon I have:

    Wondrous Wednesday - Superb Study & Bathrooms of Bubbliciousness
    Level Two
    Declutter the pc desk


    Plus from my own list:
    1. Packaged a parcel for posting tomorrow, as the company involved is nagging me about it.
    2. 1x WM
    3. Sorted out some parcels that have been delivered recently, and put the packaging out for recycling
    4. Decluttered various bits of junk mail and put them out for recycling
    5. Weeded the front path

    Next is putting away the dry washing so I have somewhere to hang up the current WM load when it's done, then I'm going to take advantage of the sunshine to go and dead-head some bluebells and do various other gardening-type bits.
    Back after a very long break!

    Hope everything goes smoothly in court and the right party win the day.
    Well done on the fireplace news I can feel your happiness about it from here.

    Dh has been home for food, I've taken a parcel I took in over to the neighbours. Just need to go and wash the bathroom floor then I've finished in there.
    Dyson needs dragging along landing and stairs need doing, then I can have another cuppa.

    Hi all x

    I've been up the street, went to the bank then picked up laundry stuff and oven cleaner.
    Auntie has been and gone and I phone DDs ballet teacher about her going to class. She has to sit in a chair and do the arm movements so no reprieve its a run into Glasgow tonight. She has her hair in a bun and she is in her leotard playing on the laptop till its time to go.

    I had a load out on the the line but had to run out and get it as its pouring. So I'm on tumble drying and winter dykes today. Apart from washing up I've not done much else.
    I will go do the bathroom and at least that will be something before I go out.:o

    One thing I have done is frame the poster I bought at the commonwealth games and hung it in my room. Really chuffed with it even if it has taken me nearly a year to do it!

    Right bathroom it is then.

    Well a short trip to the farm. As we got there they were doing pond dippning so we did that first. After 10 minutes ds2 fell into the duck ponD!,!! He was soaked through and shocked. Thankfully it wasn't deep! Stripped him off and wrapped him in my cardigan as I didn't gave any spare clothes. A very kind lady gave us some girls leggings that she had. So ds2 had white leggings and a green too big for him cardigan that was knotted at the front. He looked a right diva. We stayed another 10 minutes and had a snack and then we came home. Luckily we have annual passes so didn't have to worry about the cost! We can go back tomorrow!
    Kiddies are now in the bath, washing away all the germies!

    Told kids we have garden jobs to do tomorrow- DS said he will put all the weeds in his trailer (he has one of those pedal tractors) and take them to the brown bin :) :A
    Aww, bless! I don't suppose I can borrow him to transport my weeds to the green bin, can I?:D

    Bin day today - and I put the black sack out for the first time in 4 weeks! We just get so little that can't be recycled.:o Good timing though; it means we're rid of all the used masking tape and such-like.;)
    Mr LW managed to lump the WM back into it's cubby hole; the kitchen dosesn't look too bad really, considering I'm by no means a "paiter and decorator".

    Sort of a special day today; it's exactly 13 years today since I moved in with Mr LW. Gods alone know where the years have gone!:eek::D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Aww, not the day out you wanted frizzle, I hope the next visit goes better.

    Bathroom finished, landing dysoned, dysoned emptied, found 12 old 35mm camera films in a drawer that had been opened and we haven't used a film camera for over 8 years so they've more than likely gone off so have all been binned. Found 8 films that have had their ends wound in which means they have photos on, have to decide do I risk money getting them developed and they turn out to be nothing or throw them and wonder what they could have been?
    Just going back to drag dyson along the stairs and get back to sorting and shredding.

    Edit to say
    Happy anniversary LW and MrLW

    Afternoon all. Can I sneak back into the Flylady fold, please? I've been feeling really 'off' and lacking in motivation for the past few weeks, but I think the higher dosage of meds my GP recommended are finally kicking in as I woke up this morning feeling unusually keen to actually do something. Admittedly so far my 'doing' has amounted to no more than making a list of things I want to do, but it's a start!

    Well done on getting the fireplace sorted Pigpen - I would be excited too.

    Been for a drive out over the moors with the kids. Had a little walk and then tea and cakes in a nice coffee shop. DS2 ordered the biggest, most expensive cake they had - and then couldnt eat it, so DS1 started having a go at him. After that there was lots of sniping and I was trying to smooth things over. Eventually they both came round but it wasnt quite the afternoon I was hoping for!

    Its raining now so I am hoping cricket practice is rained off, really dont feel like turning out again.

    Frizzle poor lad, hope you have a better day tomorrow.

    Congratulations on the moving in anniversary LW!

    If there is no cricket I will get some flying done.
