    That's made me laugh Valli.

    Dogs didn't want to walk so we came back home and I've cut the grass back and front. Worn out now.

    Jazee all the walking is to walk the extra weight off, aiming for 15k per day at the moment it is working.................plus I have my new (to me) bike, but am waiting for the helmet to arrive first.....as I know how bad my balance can be, I aim to ride round the local park / cycle route only until I get the hang of it :)

    Pigpen I love washing ornaments, sorry to hear of your loss.

    More weeds pulled out

    Yes Pigpen - me too. On occasion I've put it on the list.

    Kitchen cleaned - got all hot and bothered doing it but it's clean. Fascia boards given special attention - surprising what you see when you get down on the floor lol
    Plumber phoned re taps - next door neighbour of the Aged Ps so, hopefully, reliable etc.

    Bathroom next

    Dear Flyladies
    Can I come back? I need help! It's been a long time but this is my new start.... again... if you will have me.
    I see many familiar names and some new ones.
    Love
    Bonnie

    I've cleaned a toilet and done two loads of washing today

  • Well, Himself has been offered the latest job. ZHC and likely to be half days for a couple of months, but it's something.

    Welcome back Bonnie. Well done to your man JoJo.

    Well I was ahead of myself. Loaded up the car with rubbish from the shed ready to go to the tip tomorrow. Was sweating buckets but really pleased, then realised I need the car first thing in the morning to take the dogs to the groomer. So I've unloaded it. On to the garden. Looks like steptoes yard here now.

    Regarding the Power of Attorney stamp, I've been looking for a home for it ever since I got the free one. It's one of those ready inked ones, good for 10,000 impressions. As it was a BOGOF I don't need it, so I'm quite happy for it to do the Flylady rounds, so to speak. If anyone wants to borrow it, just say and I'll post it off with an SAE so that once used it can come back to me, ready for the next Flylady.
    Welcome back Bonnie B! :wave:
    Congrats to Mr Tightfisted on the job.

    Voluntary stint done, bathroom cleaned, doglet trundled twice, and chicken and rice cooked for her because she's very reluctant to eat the dog food I've got, keen to eat the dog food I want her to eat which has to be introduced gradually, and extremely keen on chicken and rice. It's taken me several days to work out that there's no point in feeding her the food she doesn't want, just give her what she likesand put the new food into the chicken and rice, gradually increasing the ratio. Doh!

    Mountain of complicated paperwork and small tasks dealt with, at long last.
    Better is good enough.
  • Thanks for the welcome back :-)
    I've unloaded & reloaded DW. Now pottering around until next instalment of The Bay

    Good evening :D

    All children returned to the correct parents :j Toys all picked up and LR vacuumed. Note to self: when you take 6 children to a play group's Easter party and they give them little Easter boxes - send them home!! It is amazing how much mess 6 little boxes containing small foil wrapped eggs and shredded tissue paper can make!!

    I did manage to put on 2 loads of washing and hang them out, empty the DW and do the washing up in between playing referee!!
    On the plus side - only 3 children tomorrow!

    Welcome back Bonnie - I am also a recent returner! JoJo - I don't know all the history, but well done to your OH on the new job.
