    I'm in and hopefully back to reasonable normality. Thanks for lists even if I do go my own way a lot.

    Evening all and welcome to the Fred tightening

    Thanks for last week Valli and for this week Natty

    Buckets of good wishes and fingers xd M M M for your new business

    I had to laugh at the chickens (and all the other animals too). I don't really think I've room for chickens on my balcony :rotfl:
    There is definitely a benefit to not living in a large property though - not much room to store clutter.

    Love starting the week with the kitchen - though I still have some cooking and freezing to do first before I do the fridge and floor.

    Monday Melee ~ Kitchen and Dining Room
    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
    Clear 1 window sill
    Open windows and let in that summer sun!!!!
    Sweep and mop floors
    Scrub out the sticky fridge!
    Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary)
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
    Clean out your mankiest kitchen cupboard..
    Extras
    Feed the chickens
    Clean the hob
    Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
    32 fling boogie..
    Phone someone you love just to tell them so!
    Empty the bin.. wash it out.. and make it smell SWEET

    Hugs, vibes, sticks and spoons if you need some
    Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

    Thanks for the lists Natty

    I'm kind of in this week. I have work today and again tomorrow night which will require prep during the day. I desperately need to get some laundry done though. At some point this week I have a delivery arriving of school shoes etc. DD is away again at the weekend so I'll be busy working then.

    I've just noticed the time, I have some work I need to get done before 7am so I best shift myself. I'll catch up when I can :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Morning all, Happy New Month, and welcome to Newbies and returning Flyladies :wave:
    Glad your LOs are back safe and happy, Bossy.

    Thank you for starting the new thread, Natty, and for keeping us on our toes last week, Valli.

    I have a chicken to feed! Marigold has settled happily in her holiday home, but we still haven't had an egg from her :( (she was already off lay before she came). She enjoys pecking at our veg peelings and stalks - not that we waste much anyway :money: - but her favourite food is dried mealworms and she recognises the tub. We spent an hour in the garden yesterday afternoon: I deadheaded the borders while DH watered the pots and refilled the bird feeders, and Marigold kicked up a fuss when it looked as if he was going to bypass her - my poor henpecked husband :rotfl:

    Today I must
    - feed the hen
    - attend two hospital appointments
    - do a quick shop in @1d! (we did the MrS top-up yesterday)
    - do WMx3
    - S&S kitchen
    - clean kitchen floor
    - S&S bathroom
    - rest my foot
    - sort more paperwork
    Anything else will be a bonus!

    (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x

    Haha! I thought the chicken one was aimed at me, but DH and DSD cleaned, scrubbed, sprayed, powdered, replaced straw, topped up corn, changed water and dosed up our cluckies yesterday, so it's off my list :j

    My fish are also swimming in a crystal clear tank, with new plants, lava gravel and a posh new centrepiece. Looks very modern and a little bit Gothic in there with the dark red and black theme. :D

    Dog are good too. Madam is in season, so the boys are rather [STRIKE]too[/STRIKE] attentive, so she's wearing knickers, which looks hilarious, poor girl (she doesn't care a jot).

    I'll be in as best I can this week, as having a small op tomorrow, which I'm referring to as a boob-job to keep it from frightening me to death, so it will be light fluttering from me.

    Love to all xxx

    Valli, I think you are on supply for the summer, I cannot really help with 2 jobs and everything else I am up to, I struggle to do the lists at all, let alone make up lists for the next day / week. I tend to do the lists in my own way as it works for me.

    Morning all!

    Thanks for the new list Natty :) I'm in again this week. Hopefully I'll manage to do a bit more than level 1, as there are huge changes to be made.

    Busy day today - off to buy school uniform - DD goes to secondary school in September and it has to be bought from the supplier, rather than Mr Ts or Mr S! Good job I've been saving up.

    I have to work this evening too - month end accounts need sorting. Good job I can do it from home :D. Fitting in flying where I can...

    Have a good day
    D. x

    Morning all
    Hope everyone is as well as can be, hugs good wishes posi vibes sticks and spoons where needed.
    Get well and coping vibes also as a few need those from what I'm reading.
    Ds2 has gone Ncs for the morning, apparently they hadn't done enough hours so need to add some to get enough to graduate. They have but not all were Registered but it gives him something to do apart from get under my feet this morning, tomorrow I've volunteered him to fill mils garden waste bin with all the cuttings I'd left drying out. I need to go round and throw some weed killer on the mares tails.

    Today I need to wash the bathroom walls down they look unbelievably minging now the shelves and big picture have been taken down.
    Tortoise needs cleaning out and ironing pile clearing, plus need to clear my floordrobe and do the kitchen list. Should keep me busy till I fall into an exhausted heap somewhere.

    HHCx2 at 9.30 anyone? I plan to get the bathroom done in that hour
