Hope your headache improves round and DS gets another job soon.

Thank you Jazee xx Enjoy your first Christmas Fair of the year :xmassmile Do you go to the one in Lincoln at the beginning of December?

I'm drinking my cuppa and watching two brothers empty their parents' bungalow across the road, which has now sold. Mum is in a home. Dad died.

Round 1 done. Is it hot or is it me?

I've also:
made my bed
opened bedroom & bathroom windows to let in some [STRIKE]foggy[/STRIKE] fresh air
changed towels in the bathroom
flung empty toothpaste tube and toilet roll wrapper
emptied DS's gym bag and added to WM loads
cleared pile of to-be-washed clothes dumped on the sofa when DS packed a bag for overnight stay at GF's (he doesn't usually do that) and added to WM loads
flung dead flowers
decanted bird seed in to container
cleared airer of clothes washed in the week - they are now airing on the radiators instead and airer is folded up

I can see my kitchen :T

I don't know who flung that very large spoon in my direction - but thank you Much appreciated.

3. WUDUPA one bowl of pots
4. coffee

I think I might put some music on while I get that little lot done.

Early night for me last night as, once again, I have a cold. And I've had a lie in. I must have been nearly unconscious as I didn't hear DD turn up (at 10:30) or DS's GF (time unknown).

Round, that's awful for DS - and, as I know from personal experience, a real blow to one's confidence. There are temp jobs going though, fingers crossed for him.

I did manage, before collapsing last night, to get on Amaz0n, cancel 'free' prime I inadvertantly signed up to and order more cinnamon sticks for Christmas Crafternoon. Candles from the Swedish store (kid has older sibling who works there and I am beyond cheeky and asked if she could get them for us (good cause) at staff discount) have actually been donated, which is lovely. And I've had the genius idea of cutting up leftover school satsumas to make mini orange slices. We're making candles wrapped in cinnamon sticks (fingers crossed) - it is Y6 though.
So they're drying in the oven.

Good morning.
I’m faffing. I need to clear the kitchen out to fit people in. Minor panic now setting in.

All my spare spoons coming your way, Round. Fingers crossed that your DS gets another job soon. DD lost her first part time job last month just because they said they no longer needed anyone on her shift, and it’s dented her confidence big time.

Going back to procrastinating (posh faffing ) , back later.

Been volunteering
Off for a walk now to see where the river is! hopefully it will have dropped back to where it should be.


Hoovered round
Kitchen done

Thank you ladies xx I am concerned about the damage to his confidence and self-esteem - but all I can do is be here. He may be 6' tall with a beard, but he's still my 'baby'.... and Mama Tiger wanted to rip out their hearts with my bare hands :mad: (But they've said he'll get a good reference so I'll wait until he has that in his hand first!!!)

Taking a break now - but I have reloaded the washing up bowl and piled all the dirty pots together, so the kitchen doesn't look quite so chaotic as it did

Without flylady I doubt that I'd have done anything this morning. So a great big THANK YOU to you all

Go you, Roundtuit! Carp for DS, but he can do it - there's more casual work around this time of year than any other, so he's got a good chance of getting at least a temporary stopgap.

I slept like a brick, then woke up just past normal time. Bleurgh. Bit stuffy and headachey, so stayed there until I had to get up, had a shower, got dressed and then looked at downstairs.

Meh. Quick wipeover of the hob, countertops and appliances, quilt cover just finished in the WM and to go into the TD, one load of washing up about to be tackled, floor swept, then I've got some vacuuming to do, a quick spray of the bathrooms and I can decided whether I'm actually going to be doing anything else or not today.

Hi all

Hugs round and a spare spoon or two being flung if you need it.

I had a nice lie in this morning... After work last night I made a start by cleaning and dusting the office, spare room and top floor. Also cleaned the bathroom.

This morning I....

Sorted dry laundry
Stripped bed and got it in to wash
Made up bed with clean linen
Wet wash on to airers
Food shop done
More washing in machine for when I have some space to dry it
Placed Christmas order with butcher
Bought paint for bedroom and en suite, being painted next month
Selected curtains and ordered online
Vac packed spare duvets and pillows and DH put in the attic out of the way
DH hoovered and dusted lounge, dining room, conservatory and hallway
Wiped over kitchen
S/s downstairs loo and utility room

I think that will do for today! DH is now sat with the paper and I’m going to curl up with my book for a couple of hours.

Enjoy the rest of your day all x

Jazee

Round, I've never been to Lincoln. It's on my list of places to visit.

I have done the dailies, been to Christmas fair, washed doggie bedding, kept up with washing up, done physio and cleaned downstairs loo after unblocking it. Yuck.

DH is now home so I'm just going to chill for the rest of the day.
