Oh good luck Mrs-MP - keep us posted!
Made a good start as up, had breakfast, got DW and WM running already. Normally I'd still be in bed now .... got into rather a bad habit of going on Facebook on my phone first thing. Catch you later.Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -

I keep subscribing to the new thread but don't contribute much.
Flying is more in the garden recently with bare minimum indoors till the threatened rain later in the week.
Assessments to do Tues and Wed then have till next Thursday to write up 5 before I go on holiday. That's probably all the uni work till Oct.
Did a lot of filing and sorting in study yesterday while computer was doing a huge update. Hope to do more this week but going to a conference Thursday.
Lots of baby birds in garden so constantly filling feeders - blue tits, great tits, wagtails, blackbirds robins and starlings. Sadly no baby fairies, wonder where they nest.
Slinkiness pathetic, am fitter but only about 3lb lost in all.
M N being changed from Methotrexate to one of the quinines so fingers crossed he has fewer side effects.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0 -
Morning all. Hope you're all ok. What a beautiful sunny day.
So far today I have:
Dropped car off at garage (yes, the price of petrol is getting silly)
Walked the dogs & spent ages chatting with a fellow villager
Watered plants in garden
Put rubbish and recycling out
Eaten a big bowl of strawberries from the garden
Still to do:
Wash up (some of it is from yesterday)
Gardening
Village club
Sports comp later
Have a great day everyoneSpend less now, work less later.0 -
I'm in today, did quite well on Friday and over the weekend so not too bad in main areas.
DD2 and I are attacking the playroom, girls are now 19 & 23 and studying away so do not need a playroom. It has my desk in it, covered in junk and DD2 desk covered in school stuff from when she left school 2 years ago. She struggled with leaving and moving on but is now very settled and grown up loads so suggested we tackle this room and turn it into a big dining/snooker room (we have an antique dining table that converts to a snooker table). It's also a wonderful bright light room which is just used as a dumping ground now. I am working all day Tues & Wed and Thurs afternoon which means we have half the week to get on with it. Hoping to fill the bins
In between this we are working through her laundry!
Hugs to all

I went to the gardens on the seafront yesterday and saw lots of baby blue tits, goldfinches, blackbirds, and a robin that sat really close for me to take a photo of it! Lovely to watch and listen to
Ok, did a little in the kitchen yesterday so listy sorted . . .

I don't think I deserve the title of Flylady just lately.
I am so struggling with heat, lupus flare, worry about Mr LW (plus stoopid "NHS choices" farce) and total general lack of mojo.
Did manage to scrub most of the bathroom yesterday, and have done a WM load plus a bit of hand-washing today, but that's about it.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
