    Just back from my nieces 21st. DD and I got LOTS of cuddles with baby Jack, he was so good. When his big brother was born we had to fight but aunties wanted to play with said big brother. Jacks mum is sitting gingerly...

    My sister came - She looks fantastic, no nausea through chemo yet, but she left early to minimise germs. Was a revelation to discover what she cannot eat ...

    Socks on rad to dry new load in WM and SO proud of DD who drove us in her car. Because she has sVed SO hard to buy it

    Good morning everyone, I got a bit sidetracked this week, I have been getting things done but I have not been posting lists, which has resulted in some jobs getting done but I don't think I have been as productive as I could have been.

    My plan for today:

    Feed all animals
    Sort diary for next week
    Update challenge and join May's thread
    Finalise accounts for April
    Sort through ds2's clothes and get rid of small ones
    List some bits and bobs for sale
    Catch up with the laundry
    Daily checks
    HHI x 2
    Do prep for dinner, dh will put it all together later
    Cut the grass since new mower came yesterday
    Update student page for uni
    Pay for holibob in July
    Organise photos into albums
    Sort little ones bags for tomorrow, they are at the childminder as I am working
    Bath the kids

    I think that is enough to be tackling today, Hope everyone has a good Sunday, hugs to those who want/need them.

    Hi ladies :)

    I haven't posted for ages, but have been reading along on my phone whenever I could. We have just moved house, but had a brief hiatus between selling ours and moving into the new one during which time we lived with family.... stressful!

    We are in our new place now and it has been flingage central. I have been following the Kon Marie method and it is extraordinary how much STUFF has left the premises. Still a fair bit to go, but the house move has really prompted us to look at everything with a keen eye to see if its worth moving (I say we, I mean me, DH has been working away for several weeks now). So I am back on the Flylady bandwagon now and looking forward to posting more.

    Mumof2 - you are in my thoughts, how are things with J?
    Dizzy - is Tiny behaving? Does he enjoy nursery? My Tiny seems to be getting through his grumpy phase... (frantically touching wood)
    MMM - Your lists always make me feel inspired, you achieve so much
    Bossy - great news on getting a work date

    Off to fling some carp whilst DS naps xx

    Beltane Blessings, everyone. :beer:
    Narc0 that's great news about great-nephew; I remember you being so worried when he was to have the surgery.
    So sorry to hear about friend's dog; may his Journey be a peaceful one. x

    Feel-as-well-as-possible vibes to CY and Valli's sister while I think to say it. (Lupus brainfog is bad lately - I have to say these things as they come to me; if I forget, please don't think it's because I don't care; I do care, a lot, but I "lose the file" occasionally).

    Mr LW has just mowed both the front and back lawns. Front is only postage-stamp sized, but still grows at an alarming rate; back is where the doggies go for their "comfort breaks" so easier for poo-picking if the grass is short. He's cleaned the mower up as best he can, ready for it to be stored in the spare room while we're without a shed. Poor love, he's cream crackered now. :A I think he's making a cup of tea now. :o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
