    Hiya everyone

    We are in for the week - working around watching the tennis :)

    Thank you for the lists Bossy and thank you for last week Natty.

    FBO - well done :T BTW if anyone is sending 'sun' to Glasgow then please can we have some too :)

    CY - sending posi-vibes


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

    Marvellous Monday! - a bit of everything!
    Clearing surfaces - pick your most annoying 3! Could be kitchen sink, work tops, table, windowsill, mantelpiece, bit of floor, shelf of doom. Whatever, pick 3 and lose the gibble!
    Now give the surfaces a good clean, then only put back what really belongs there.
    Rehome the rest of the gibble (keep, bin, recycle)
    S&S the downstairs loo
    Empty any bins and give them a S&S too

    Ooh, I've just been scribbling any extra groceries I need to think about during school hols! Do you need to update your shopping list?

    Hugs, sticks and spoons a-plenty if you need some and hope you all have a marvellous Monday

    Thanks bossy for the new thread and Natty for last week's lists. We're visiting friends later in the week, so I shall not get much done here, but it's not too bad - except for my study (still :eek:) and the poor neglected garden. I did manage to get quite a lot done off my master list last week, so some progress has been made.

    We had a wonderful day today as my DS2 was ordained :) - or maybe that should be :A

    Beautiful ring, bossy
    Well done FBO on both the staying calm and the diet :T :T
    Froddy, what a splendid family get-together!
    (((Hugs))) to dancemum and GWS wishes to your DS2.
    More (((hugs))) and posivibes to CY: hope you don't have to wait long for your results.

    Yes, we are a strong bunch. I certainly don't always feel strong, and I doubt that anybody here does, but we all take turns propping each other up. That's real friendship :)

    Morning!

    Woke up at 3.30am. Been wide awake since, got up at 4.45am, birds were singing, sun was breaking through the clouds. I am going to suffer for this later!

    Have emptied the dishwasher and I am now going outside to water my tubs on the patio.

    Paid stuff this morning, need to get rid of all the shredded paper later. Looks like a lovely day.

    Good morning hope you don't mind me popping in i do hang around occasionally but I really need to get back into a routine and get organised as i have gone off track again. I thought following the lists and reading what others are up to might encourage me. So Far got bed striped washer on dishwasher on and hoverd not a bad start for Monday morning.
  • Morning everyone.


    Thanks for the lists Bossy and Natty.


    Thinking of you CY and sending posi-vibes especially during the night time. x Please ring the nurse if she doesn't ring you this week. Sure they are much much better than they used to be 20 years' ago, but - just in case. xx


    Lovely ring Bossy.


    FBO well done on both counts.


    Narco - I was cringing for you - hope they are ex mice this morning.


    I have to go and caterpillar squash this a.m. My Solomon's Seal plant must have been attacked by saw flies whilst we were away. It was absolutely covered in caterpillars. DH said he does it every year - cuts back and puts waste in the green bin - but they escaped and are everywhere!!!!


    Plan for today is Marvellous Monday! - a bit of everything!

    Morning all

    Everybody here feeling a bit blurr this morning, possibly a bit of a virus going on.

    Welcome ALKM

    Just dispatching DS3 then I want to get the hoovering done, it will be too hot for the foreseeable future.

    Have a good day.

    Morning all
    Hugs good wishes and clear off sickness bug and small rodent vibes where needed
    Going to declutter remaining male off to school then set ironing up in back garden before it gets too darrned hot (which is today's forecast:T)
    Neighbour should be back later so watering duty is finished, her son put the fear of God into me by taking one of the cars without telling me, I realised it was missing when I did last nights watering so sent a text to his sister asking if either had taken a car, thankfully she told me she'd panicked when she drove by and saw it missing so checked her bro had it.
    Already put three black bags out this morning-all the junk from the shed so that's this weeks quota filled!!
    Off to think what surfaces to do and find my personal list for the week.

    Marvellous Monday! - a bit of everything!
