Mum phoned me 10 minutes in :rotfl: SO I'm up for a 20 minute challenge instead. Just sorting out some labels for tupplewear containers in my food cupboard. Just found 3 packs of lasagne sheets I forgot I had :rolleyes: Wouldn't mind I only have 1 food cupboard :rotfl::rotfl: :wave:

Have list more ebay things, slowly working my way through it...it takes forever. I don't know if I can face looking for more to list!
Still have DD3 off from school, she slept all this morning on the sofa, so I've been keeping it quiet. She's awake now though. I need to do the bathroom and clean out my hoover, then use it! Might have lunch first, then make a start....

Living room 30 minutes done - only managed the sitting end/not play end but it looks better. 30 minutes is the way to go for me.

Had my lunch pit stop and not feeling sick any more which is fab.
30 minutes on hall/stairs/landing/loo for me then I have to paint the new window sills outside.

Flying will then be suspended while I concentrate on ebay.

Rest of living room - DS3 can help me tidy when he gets home and bathroom I will do whilst he is in the bath.

Be back at 1:00

nicki :rotfl: @ the drawer front - I could do that aswell.

Frankie Get well soon hugs to your DD ((((((((GWS)))))))) x

Way to go Dusty :T it's great to find a way that works best for you, I've found doing the flylady one week then just an upkeep the second works best for me.

Going to update all my anti-virus garb later on then run them all, OH does the defragging, he likes watching it :rolleyes:

torianut

Back from playgroup - LO gone down for his sleep so gonna make a start on bathroom.
Thanks for all the MOUSE replies! Dusty - thats a vile story! I am feeling like that at the moment every cupboard I open he might jump out at me!! We do have a cat but don't think he has brought it in. MUMOFTWO - it did look like a little field mouse and it ran behind cupboard so think I may have to resort to what you did! Do feel cruel but don't want it living here!

Definately not an infestation as I have done all the cupboards and there wasn't a dropping or anything shredded - think he has just run in for some warmth!!

Pigpen - no nails pic this week? Eliza - I feel for your situation - don't know what advice to give - my DD's had to go to after school club every day for 2 years when I worked full time - they hated it, never had chance to do their homework and never ate a proper tea as they used to get a 'snack' there and say they were full! SO make sure you weigh up the alternatives before saying anything!!

Off to fly xx
