HI, I'm back from cleaning
Whole house is dusted
Whole house is hoovered
Rubbish
Dusty thing on hoover cleaned
All washing out on line
DW cleaned and sorted
Kitchen scrubbed with in a inch of its life.
Shoppnig done and put away
Car filled up with petrol for the week
Car has MOT tomorrow, so paper work found
Shopped on line and bought a new printer for £30 or there about with cashback, no a lot but it helps, my old printers / copy / scanner is 10 years old, it won't copy, it won't scan, those I can live with, but now it won't print either! I guess the ink forthe new one will cost more than the printer.......................
Bank checked.
I'm off out to watch some very old planes do 'a fly in' to a local very small air field, never been to watch planes before, so it could be interesting.Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

Rude awakening this morning - a rather large, very cold nose pushing it's way under the side of the duvet!
Anyways, having fed and walked Jack, we've braved the hell that is the new town centre Moribund's (Herr A is shut for a month, for some sort of refit) and I've managed to eat some toast and butter for lunch.
I've written Jack's postcard; he's being collected at 10:30 tomorrow, so I don't want to be scratting about trying to think of something to write first thing in the morning.
Next task - clean the bath-lift. That'll be me wiped out for the rest of the day.
Dys0n Tango deferred til Jack's gone - seems silly to do it today, just to have to do it again tomorrow because he'll have put more hair on the carpet by then.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

Sorry for the double post. It has been an hour since my last one. I've decided to leave DD's bedroom for her to do. I am not spending an hour shifting everything off the dresser & desk to dust it all and the furniture then put it all back. If she wants that many things out then she can blooming dust them

DD has text to say she'll be home about 6.20pm so I have an hour and a half to get the place straight including mopping the downstairs floors....this may prove interesting. :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -

Just staggering into thread to say a brief hello.
As those who know me on Facebook will already know we had an amazing day for DD2's wedding yesterday. It was perfect.
I ran on adrenaline and steroids and sheer determination. Today I have the
energy of an arthritic gerbil, and ambprobably walking in a similar fashion.
I will be back to bore you all rigid later next week. And rest assured the sofa and I will be firm friends this week.:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Seen the pictures cycling, looks like a good day was had, was thinking about you all. Rest up all eek with all our best wishes, I am sure.
Done 3 loads, have ironed twice so the pile is manageable. Also hand washed the cushion covers, dry clean only apparently but they are fine and look much fresher.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
