Morning,
I'll be saying goodnight to you guys at this time in just over 4 weeks.....
Children have stripped their beds, I've got the first load in the machine. DS1 has left for school, just waiting for DD3 to go.
I've emptied the dishwasher, put saucepans etc away. It's looking ok and I've barely done anything, this flylady stuff is great...
So, once DD has gone, I'm going to do the couple of things I need to do, to finish their room. I need to clean out the hoover and I need to hoover throughout and mop downstairs, dust in children's rooms and work through the washing. As soon as I write one thing, I think of something else!!
Oh, I have a bid on one of my ebay items already.....

Morning all

Well - the home made mouse catcher - was EMPTY!! It defo hadn't visited as had left a couple of bits of choccy around too as a test!! Maybe (she says hopefully!) it was just lost and has gne home now!! Gonna leave it now unless we see any other signs and then OH will set a trap (sorry animal lovers!)

Will update list later xx

Pollybear

Morning all

One load of clothes washed and on the line, throws from living room washed and on the line. Now doing the towels on a hot wash so that should clean the machine out too.

I've dusted the living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

I did all the bedrooms on Wednesday when I did mine and DD's old enough to tidy up her own! Sometimes I can't bear it and put stuff away but it's not too bad at the moment. Her bedding got washed yesterday while it was her day off.

Oldest DD has threatened to come in today to put stuff on her MP3 player so that means I'll lose control of the computer shortly. I hate it when she does that, neither of us can ever remember how to do it and there is much swearing and shouting.....

Who's up for a room reshuffle next week??? ANARCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Defo - I think doing things in a different order is good for the aging mind! We did our walk in reverse this week and got lost because we only know the way by the landmarks which are different going back.

If you put kids rooms Monday I can put it off till then and not feel I am playing catchup:D

Morning all -

my 2 ebay items from last week sold this morning - not for much but I am still pleased and like you say Pigpen it is my Christmas present fund. One is a local person who has brought from me before which is great as it is a huge box and a hassle to take to the post office.

Doing 30 minute bits again today as follows:

Put washing on the line and then

30 minutes master bedroom including change bed and hoover mattress
30 minutes bathroom including cleaning inside cabinet
30 minutes finishing landing now it is clear and play end of living room

1 hour painting outside windows
30 minutes pilates video as no walking today

Also friend popping in for a cuppa at some time.

DS1 has friend home for tea so need to think about food too although not right now as still feeling sick.

Morning (good night Denise of course)

Well boys off to school, been out with the dogs, got Megan a new ball so once I'd chucked it once she didn't want to give it back, save my shoulder of course as it's hurting from painting & cleaning. Washing pegged out as it is nice out there, I think the weather is a little confused.

Having a coffee before I go over the other house to start there, think I will run the vacuum round here first aswell, remove the extra dog off the floor. Might pack another bag or 2 before I leave aswell, seems pointless going over with an empty car and haven't done any more packing yesterday.

Right, best stop talking about it and actually do it, hope you all have a good day.
