Morning all

Valli - Hope your sister makes a speedy recovery.

Sorry nothing else has stuck as I was rudely interrupted by Zack wanting my attention so he could find out why the dogs a few doors down were barking. He's now gone back to sulking on the sofa. DD has gone out for the day with friends so she's under orders to be home by 5pm and my plan is to continue clearing the scan/shred pile.

Yesterday I cleared all my uni work Today I'm continuing to work through bank statements, only 9 years worth to do and I've already done 2.5 I'm also doing laundry. The white load is in on a very quick cold wash as there's loads of grass stained items in there. I've scraped some of the pre-treatment soap bar into the drawer and before I put it on a proper wash I'll take it all out and scrub the bar on the actual stains. I'll probably have to do the same with the jeans DD was wearing as well and she wants me to wash her collection of converse as they're all dirty, but she can do that tomorrow so its her fault if any get ruined

Meanwhile I'll also be working on my Bullet Journal. I started it last night and I'm loving the idea of all my lists together in one place (except work stuff which I'm setting up another notebook for, although the tasks will be on my daily lists). I already have a comprehensive K0nMarie list in there, next up is my Toots list which I'm doing room by room, then lists of all the books by my favourite authors so I can cross off the ones I've already read and see which ones I need to hunt down in the charity shops, lists of the TV series I want to binge watch so I can keep track of where I'm up to.....oh the lists are going to be endless :rotfl: I'm planning to start using it properly as a daily tasks planner from 1st September or I might start it on the 29th August ready for back to school, my seasonal jobs, and work picking up the pace due to that December celebration....

This isn't getting the scanning done so I best get on. Only approximately 235 A5 bank statements left to scan out of this pile (I know there's more in the 2009-2010 to scan/shred folder but they can wait until I get there) :eek: :wave:

I would like to join in please. I just had a visitor turn up and I was too embarrassed to invite them in for a cuppa, so it is time to change. I have printed out the first forum post and stuck it on my fridge door. Any advice on how to fly when OH works nightshift gratefully received. Thanks in advance for increasing my motivation.

Welcome. Lots of fly ladies are here because we've all suffered from CHAOS

Kaz - I love dogs and have three huge bruisers of my own, but I am very aware of how other people view them, so maybe your new neighbour is the same. If they are working dogs, they should be well trained and unlikely to be noisy. It also depends on the breed. Keeping everything crossed...maybe they'll be Malamutes...geddit? *slinks off...*

*Groans loudly* Dizzy, that has to qualify as Snorter of the Day!:D
Seriously though, I was also thinking that if they're working dogs, they should be well-trained, and reasonably quiet.

Valli I hope your sister is having a better day today, hun.

I'm ahead of you list-wise though - I blitzed the bathroom, including the bath lift, within an inch of it's existence on Sunday. Being without canine company at present, I felt it an ideal opportunity to have a play with the steam cleaner.

Valli

I have cleaned my bathroom. I have also thrown a padlock because I don't have the key. And an unused key ring. I have ascertained the whereabouts of my missing crockery. I am not taking it to the kitchen nor am I putting it in the dishwasher. I have closed the doors on those rooms.

Sis much brighter now she has been pumped full af antibiotics. But she may be in another night.

I have some ironing to do, towels in WM and ready to be washed.

Afternoon all. Get well wishes to CY & Valli's sister.

I didn't pop in this morning as I had a lie in then had to rush to get LittleyDog to the vet before the paid stuff. Have just finished the paid stuff.

Have taken delivery today of those bags for storing things in and sucking out the air. I am stupidly excited to be putting stuff in them over the next couple of days.

Flying this evening will consist of dog walk, dog bath and watering the plants in the greenhouse.

That's it.

Have a great evening everyone. See you tomorrow.
