Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back, I have thought of every one often and see some of you on fb, but I haven't been my chatty self for a while here, fb or the real world.
mission today, eat some lunch ! get stuff gone from the house and get more stuffed rehomed or packed away ready for moving, get washing upto date as have been doing washing for donations to charity shops last week, and bedding definitely needs a freshen up, then I will get on with listy
Today so far:
Donated Bumbo to DD4 nursery seeing as no Skint Grandbabies on the horizon anytime in the forseeable
Got rid of bag of recyclable garden waste and bucket of ceramic scraps to dump
tried to collect more packing boxes from Mr T......they only had one after school run the rest were soaked by the rain
returned overdue school books that got mixed in with the family library crates.
First a brew, then I can get on ......TTFNThe cold never bothered me anyway0 -
Hello
I'm in thank you for all the lists.
Been up since 5.30am and done loads of admin type work.
Shopped for food and put away
Hoover whole house
WM x 3 on going
Dry of clothes on going
Been to Doctors for blood test, they always have trouble, I just sit there with eyes shut and let them get on with it, but after the 3rd try, I told her one more go and that was it, I would come back another day, she wasn't happy at that, and finally she managed to get blood, then she checked my blood pressure and told me it was up, little wonder I told her, you have just stabbed me 4 times and removed what seemed to me in the end about a pint of blood, I'm sure it wasn't, so no wonder my BP is up! results next week...................
Floors all done as well
Rubbish is out
Bins washed
Toilets all done

Humph...nobody likes a show-off you know...;)
Just returned from Shrewsbury where I got a price for the van repairs :eek: glad I'm not responsible for that!
Very tired and hungover today and contemplating a snooze while Tiny is watching Godzilla nd DH is on the PS4...0 -
Afternoon all, thank you for the list 😊
It's been a few weeks since I last declared 'I'm in!' On the Monday only to fall behind the rest of the week. But with the mounting feeling that life is once again getting on top of me (and the baby is one next week, so I'm not sure he's a good excuse anymore!) I really am in again this week.
Little lamb fell asleep on our walk home from swimming, so I got a bonus 30 mins and have managed most of the main bits on the list. Small appliances, the fridge and the windows left to do, plus I have a basket full of laundry to put away, a wash currently on and hubby's shirts to iron.
Happy Monday everyone!0 -
Hello, I have a permission slip, but thanks for the lists and keeping us all together.
Washing up is still in the sink from breakfast, piggies have not been cleaned out yet, but I have done a huge portion of my essay. I've even read the complete sections and they make sense! Woot!
I'm afraid tomorrow will be much the same but it's a rather epic piece of work. Rather glad I did lots of prep or I'd be very stressed out just now!
Welcome back, skinty xxxBossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
*ouch* Kazwookie. I hope the results are straightforward.
I hope you had that nap, Dizzy.
Most weeks I try to follow the lists I manage Monday and then fall progressively more and more behind, BibbityBob. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that ....
Having said that, thank goodness for the Flylady Thread and everyone who keeps it going by giving us the lists and/or contributing. I've bottomed the letting double and I know it's the cleanest room in the house because it's the easiest to do when anyone leaves. The water in the bucket for washing down the paintwork was an interesting shade of gray, twice, the sash window needed serious time spent on it and I had to empty the dy0sn thingy twice, but it is a handheld so the grot bucket's tiny. Everything is sparkly though and I've even done the central light. I absolutely dread to think what horrors await in the rooms I don't think are squeaky clean ....Better is good enough.0 -
