    Dusted
    Rehomed various items
    Hoovered
    Scullery
    Wiped units
    Cleared and cleaned bunkers
    Hob cleaned
    Washed floor

    Downstairs Hoovered, 3 loads of washing done and flung on the line. Basket empty apart from one white school shirt. Recycling, food waste and rubbish out.

    Well done Pixie.

    Another one here with a migraine, have been heady since returning to the paid stuff on Monday. By 3 today, I had to give in and go back to bed. The pain is beginning to ease now. I certainly can't take any more tabs if I want to keep my liver intact.

    Also because of the head I've not read my newspapers since Saturday, so mine are definitely history now. Will want to catch up on the puzzle pages though.

    And the dogs have not had their second walk and I've not watered the plants/veg tonight. I feel if I move too quickly, the pain will return fully.

    Curtains are back up in the bedroom though (had to when I went back to bed!), they were minging so thanks for putting that on the list today.

    See you all tomorrow.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Yay to pixie! We're at that painstaking in between stage with may, she's just 2, and is half and half, dependent on mood! It drives me potty! Literally!

    Ok so I have actually done 45mins of hard core work our! I'm ashamed to admit it's the first this year!!!!! I hate looking like a slob! So time to do something about it.

    So today I've been a little busy, I have managed to buy a few things in the city, got May some socks and tights too. I've done a load of washing and hung it up, I've put the dishwasher on, and I've cleared the hot spot on the stairs!!! This is amazing, for me! It hasn't been clear for ever!!! Thanks to you lovely ladies! I actually feel like I am getting somewhere!! Slowly but surely :) I should be doing more ironing mind you, but after my aggressive work out session I'm exhausted, so laying on my bed watching the vicar of dibley.
    A ha ha, Mays bedroom is next to mine, and she just let out the loudest trump I have ever heard!
  • Evening all,
    What a busy day, but not much flying done I'm afraid. Long dog walk this am, then a bit of time between lunch and school pickup to do a bit, so did a wm, dw, bit of a tidy round, bit more from Monday's list ( yes I'm still on that) . Then it was DD2's birthday party after school, then back home and OH family round to give her presents, now just got two very tired girls to bed and the house is TRASHED, covered in wrapping paper, cards and various Frozen related tat. Phew! I'm not tidying it p tonight as I have a serious case of CBA, OH has gone to get a takeaway and some lager hooray.

    Hope everyone is ok, CY thinking good thought for you, same to natty,mrs mp,lw and anyone I've missed that is in need of some good vibes. All of you in fact! X

    It's not well done Pixie.. the little minx lol.. she is just trying my patience.. she could at least wait until the summer holidays!! I have 3-4 school runs a day until then.. :p She actually used the potty 3 times before bed.. she is a clever little thing.. but desperate to be more grown up than she is, she thinks she is about 4 like the other 2 I'm sure of it.

    LW.. if you ever fancy a dose of WoW I have a guild with pretty much just me in it.. last time anyone else was online was over a month ago and a grand total of 11 toons in it.. 4 people inc. me! I can chuck ya an invite! My new guild is run by a lady of 53 and all members are over 35 apart from the ones who are the children of the older ones.. they allow no rude language or profanity or anything.. :) There has just been over 1.2 MILLION players put on a 6 month ban for using bots so most guilds have lost half their raid teams so there is a lot of merging and co-raiding going on which is nice usually. Most people are fine if I am honest, there are 2 which I absolutely refuse to take off ignore though haha.. and I am (shockingly!) the person who asks the utterly blunt questions... no malice intended but I like to know EVERYTHING! ... ooh.. there were talks on tonight.. I'll get OH to find out gossip for me, I forgot about those.

    Hi all

    Is there some sort of strange force at work round here, everyone seems to be having such a rough time of it ... group hug time ...

    Tired tonight so off to bed.

    I have achieved some flying today but not as much as I would have liked. Fresh start tomorrow I think.

    Evening everyone


    Thinking about all of you, especially those going into hospital/with family in or going into hospital, poorly people and those who are being put under loads of stress/pressure. I was at the hospital today and went past the chapel - popped in and sent some healing vibes. I think the evening of 'light' would be a lovely idea. Remember you must look after yourselves - especially if you are trying to look after others.


    LW - I know what you mean about the four walls since being trapped with my bad foot AND I have the sibling of your shredder !!


    If it's gone I've done it or don't have one

    Wonderful Wednesday - Bedroom of Duvet-nia

    Vacuum the bedroom.


    Fluffy Fursday - Sitting Room of Sunshine and Hallway of Happiness

    Open the windows and turn on some music!
    Wipe and water the plants
    Declutter the chairs and floor
    Vacuum the floor now it is visible
    Clean any glass.. pictures, windows, mirrors etc
    Vacuum under any furniture you can.. please don't injure yourselves!
    Sort through the shoes and coats and bags.. make them pretty!
    HHC in the porch

    Wipe the woodwork in these areas


    I am hoping the sun shines the morrow so I can get out to finish clearing the balcony and maybe have a bit of 'me' time in the sun - fingers xd


    Hugs, sticks and spoons all round and hope you have a great Thursday

    Natty huge hugs from me and prayers for your hubby on Friday, and for you too. I can't imagine how worried you are at the moment. Just try somehow to look after yourself and keep on off loading as much as you need to.


    I hope all migraines clear up very soon.


    Things have been very busy here. I have done a few fling boogies but need to start working through the daily lists. I am at home all day tomorrow so will see how I get on. DSisterIL will be here for the week from Saturday and DS3 returns from his travels on Sunday to go away again for four months on ,I think, Friday. Eek, lots to do and not a lot of time.

    Is it still okay to list all the tasks and cross them off as I go through them?
