Another load in WM.
Just had a cuppa and a choccy muffin, very naughty!

Stripped our bed first thing this morning so that's airing nicely.

Thanks pigpen for the washing machine filter thing - finally worked out how to do it - filthy full of grey sluge but I am 5p richer! I need to start doing this regularly - glad I kept the old toothbrushes to use when I changed them on Wednesday and they were very handy.

So that is Monday now finished so starting on Tuesday - living room (done hall) eek there are toys everywhere, may put the telly on for a bit of company as I could be in there a while.

Fogot hoover is in pieces after washing last night - never done that before either so I need to start by putting that back together with a new bag.

pigpen

I've still done nothing!!.. actually that isn't exactly true... I loaded the DW, had a cuppa.. and rearranged the strapping on my worst knee.. may have another cuppa then sweep the stairs.

Kaiser chiefs, razorlight and Killers.. off to fly.. if I an back before half an hour has passed... kick me back to work!!

Afternoon folks! Just had a lovely cuppa and bowl of cereal while reading your posts.

nicki - love the boots - bargin!
Lil_me - hope things come together for you, I packed and moved at 6 weeks notice, it can be done!
Pigpen, hugs for your various aches and pains
Kaz - want a battle you are having, I don't stick to the lists and haven't for ages for various reasons but still come here for the lovely folks and motivation.
JILL - WWWWOOOOHHHHOOOOO!!!!! Congratulations, sending lots of love and blessings to you and your family.

Feeling much brighter today as felt really down this week. Have taken DS to swimming playgroup today and a good natter with the mums there which was nice. Also a neighbour stopped DH when he was walking the dogs inviting me and DS round to play with her kids so hopefully I'll start meeting people here. Took cousin to get a party outfit last night and brought loads of ROC facial products for 75p each for christmas presents from Boots so am chuffed with that. BIL's surpise 30th party tomorrow night so have been conned into making food all day tomorrow and out for lunch on Sunday so want to get house sorted before weekend.

Having to wait in this afternoon for man to replace ulility room light and for someone to collect the wrong light shade the builders have sent so am determined to fly. Going to keep a done list instead of to do so I'm motivated by what I've done rather than not. So....

• SC on with a bologense
• WM on
• kitchen S&S
• kitchen floor swept and wiped
• Bin in and rubbish taken out
• Ensuite S&S and loo cleaned

Right better go and make most of DS being in bed. Will update later xx

pigpen

I have cleaned my hallway.. all of it.. it looks very lovely.. the kitchen needs a S&S which I'll do while cooking dinner..

Back room.. Thursday list now to do.. I HATE doing this room!!!

It is really great that it is taking such a little time to go through each room as it was fairly tidy to start with!! .. Thank heavens for flying!!

Oh flip.. Tiddles is awake 2 hours early!!.. gremlin!!! I'll get nothing done now!!

• Fun one.. look in that medicine cupboard... is there anything you can fling? Is there anything you need to stock up on? It is soon to be snot and grot season so make sure you have all you will need.. nothing worse than wanting a lemsip right now and having none in!!!!
• Time for the Friday Flylady Fling, in the toy box!!!! aim for 27.. if no toy box you’ll have to choose another area!
• Clean 2 radiators or the skirting in any room of your choice!.. or if you have the bug today you could do both!
• Clean any one (or more) window that needs doing

Apart from the dailies and night time routines that's the lot for the week, of course if you still want to join us over the weekend you are more than welcome

FRIDAY EXTRA - Don't forget your ME time this weekend, even if it's just a nice relaxing bath or catching up with an old friend, go on you deserve it



I've decided I'll do the ironing tomorrow while watching the Heroes catch up on BBC2 - I got interested in it halfway through the series :rolleyes: Plus OH is away this weekend so knowing me I'll have trouble sleeping

I've sat and "played" with debts in excel to see if there is a way we can reduce interest on them. Roll on January when I'll be able to go to the bank and say "loan please for £5k" again and get them paid off as our current loan will be finished with by then :mad:

One load of washing out on the line, another in the machine, 2 tops in soaking to try and remove stains, another 4 loads to do due to "wool wash cycle" required on some of my new tops :rolleyes: Some are light, some are dark so thats 2 loads :mad: Plus a towel/cloth wash and a white wash which I will leave until DD gets in as I need to put her now black & pink socks in to soak so they can return white (bl**dy school shoes :mad::mad: ).

Right, where's those babywipes? :wave:

Dustykitten

I have finally tidied the living room enough to clean it! Had lunch too, let the hoovering begin.
