    Morning all

    Thanks for the thread Bossy (hope you are still enjoying doing it)

    CY and FBO strength and love for you both this week girls, you are an inspiration.

    This^

    TYVM for thread, not that I have managed to look in until now BUT

    parents came down yesterday to remove radiator and wall lights (to aid paper removal) with the intention of mum coming down Tues to make a start on the papering.

    however...

    she couldn't go down to my sister's today (she usually goes on a Monday to clean and help) as it's my sister's pearl anniv. So we have made a start. Then my dad turned up - he brought his mower and strimmer and gave the back garden a short back and sides THEN came and refitted the radiator and one wall light! Tomorrow we should finish what we can get done for now; we are leaving the window as it should be being replaced. I couldn't have done it without them! Re-pressurised the the boiler; now gathering energy to vacuum under the WM before I shove it back!

    I've also done DW x 1 and WM x 3 and have a teetering ironing pile!

  • Evening,

    Thanks for the list bossy!
    Good to see you posting pigpen

    I appreciate that 7.00pm is a bit late to be posting a list with the intention of doing it as well as cooking tea, eating it, walking the dog and putting small people to bed, but I've only just got in from loooooong day of paid stuff and it needs doing.

    So :
    Daily stuff
    Feather dust all through
    Henry all through
    Shine sink
    Pay that bill

    Evening flyladies, an update from me.

    Monday Mayhem: A bit of everything!
    Level 1

    [STRIKE]Open the windows and let some air in.[/STRIKE]
    Starting upstairs, work your way through the house with that feather duster (or whatever you have). Dust and deweb, as far through as you like / need.
    [STRIKE]S&S a sink or two.[/STRIKE]
    Level 2
    [STRIKE]Follow your dust trail with the vacuum cleaner, only lift it upstairs if it's safe to do so.[/STRIKE]
    S&S a toilet or two.
    Empty / clean filter and set a hot wash on WM and/or DW (do you need salt? I think my DW needs a top up)
    Level 3
    [STRIKE]Clear kitchen worktops and wipe down.[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wipe out the fridge and stick any grot in the compost / bin.[/STRIKE]Done on Saturday.
    [STRIKE]Shine your sink[/STRIKE]
    Extras:
    • [STRIKE]Have 10min checking over your calendar for the next week or so.[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Pay any bills or make any phone calls you need to.[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Eat a frog[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Count some blessings[/STRIKE]
    I have been in to town today, decluttered some hair and bought some new-to-me clothes in the charity shops. Lunch was a large slice of Victoria sponge and a cup of tea (or two) in a lovely little old fashioned tea shop.


    Came home, Mr T order came so put that away. I have hoovered/swept/mopped through the house and cut the grass back and front.


    All washing up to date, actual washing up is draining (for hygiene/laziness reasons).


    About to flop on the sofa.


    See you all tomorrow.

    Spend less now, work less later.

    Evening all - I'm back!

    Spent most of today asleep :o but at least I now feel as though I know what the day / date / time is!!

    Had an amazing time and am now back to reality with a bump - need to get myself sorted and then get the house sorted. Lots of washing needs doing but the weather is against me.

    Hope everyone is ok - sorry if I've missed anything important to any one of you.

    Need to sort a list in a minute ....................

    Checking in before I check out to bed...
    Didn't get dentist sorted but pretty much happy with progress today, considering I'm currently feeling very down. Stacked two massive piles of logs in the lounge fireplace, ready for the colder weather, so I've had quite a workout today, loads of ironing done, bed changed in master bedroom and online food shop done in addition to my list of to-dos from this morning.

    Now relaxing with a glass of wine. DH engrossed in football and/or Game of War (Dizzy stifles a yawn to both) and dogs all curled up snoring. First bit of quiet I've had all day...

    Welcome back froddy - sounds like you had a great time.

    I ran completely out of steam this evening. The sun was shining straight into the study bedroom this afternoon, so I did the ironing before starting on the resource boxes, then stopped to cook tea. DH went out straight afterwards and I simply never got going again :(

    So here is my list for tomorrow:
    - check and update 4 resource boxes
    - SW
    - arrange for friends to come for a meal
    - clean kitchen and DR
    - collect library book from next town
    - do food shop
    - make skirt for DGD2

    DH will be out again tomorrow evening!
