Tomorrow I have promised to clean a flat....
anytging ti restore peace and order here and set DS off on the road to responsibility...
am not impressed that the landlord hasn't dealt with it...there is a food cupboard full of packets/part used stuff so it's pretty obvious it hasn't been dealt with.
But I am a Flylady. It WILL BE SPOTLESS. I will be exhausted but free!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Morning xx
I got up early so I get more time off work
While the kettle was boiling I piled up tidied a few things in the kitchen - which is showing the after effects of 'nothing done for 4 days because work was manic and I flumped when I got home'. DS's GF has eaten a full pack of cheese in two days!!!! Is that normal? I'll have to start buying breeze block sized packs of cheese! I know DS wasn't involved as he only eats cheese when there's nothing else - and there was chicken available.
Round 1 =
get dressed
go get petrol before it gets busy
Have a good day lovely ladies

Round 1 completed + sloshed bleach down the loo, made my bed, brought the laundry hamper down, called at Mr C00p for bread, had toast & marmalade for breakfast and I'm slurping Brew 2 as I post. While the kettle was boiling and the toast was toasting I rinsed 6 cans and one plastic bottle to be recycled. Every little helps

Morning
i was awake for an hour or so earlier but managed to go back off and have just got up! Unheard of for me!! Not sure I’m feeling any better for it lol but first cuppa is in hand, wm is swishing, sun is shining atm and I’m going to sit and plan my day while I have my brekkie...
have a lovely day, will be back later with a progress report x7 -
oh ! I want to live where BadCat lives
No sun here and rain forecast through the day - I'm surprised there's any rain left in the sky as it tipped it down all day yesterday. I've checked the weather forecast and it's looking more promising (for drying washing outside) tomorrow and Monday. I think I'll wash undies today and dry them on radiators / airer, and leave the rest 'til tomorrow. I am delighting in being NOT HOT. Bliss.
Round 2 =
put rubbish out
put the rinsed recycling out
feed the birds
cut the stamens(?) out of the lilies - my living room smells like a funeral parlour.

Round.. I got 9 packs of cheese yesterday afternoon.. 2 have gone already, 2 packs of bacon and 3 loaves of bread. Only 1 of mine eats cheese!! The lactose intolerant one!!!
No one joining me on my selling quest??? Come on.. we all need a few pence... I have 3 more parcels to post already.. so 5 to go this morning.. ooh... and another sale.. FLING!!
I want to finish Spams jumper today and will start one for Fabian.. I've not done him one for ages. I love destashing.. I have been naughty and bought more yarn when I said I wouldn't but it is the first I've bought for a couple of years and it is knitted and going straight out again so while not destashing it is not cluttering!
Kitchen needs de-grotting again and I am still aiming to get some sorting done in my room I really need something done in there... I may delegate the DW and see if I can make progress.

Morning all, just. I have been up ages but don't seem to have achieved much. We've completed the dailies between us, walked four miles and second wash load is in the machine. Oh and a bit of admin has been done.Spend less now, work less later.7

Hi again
Im in for eBaying stuff too, been meaning to do it for ages but keeps getting put off, decluttering and earning pennies sounds like a good plan to me!
2 x wm done and out on line, it’s breezy but clouding over from time to time so need to keep an eye on the weather... popped out to run a couple of errands and not really done much else. DH is working upstairs so I think I will start on the ground floor so I don’t disturb him. Time to get myself moving!
back again later on x7 -
Good afternoon all,
Had a bit of a lay in, much needed. I was awake in the night a lot with pain in my arm, which has subsided now but my arm feels very heavy. I have two loads of washing on the line and we have been for a big dog walk. Cheeky takeaway tonight as I CBA cooking.I still haven't labelled the kids uniform so that's on the list for the afternoon. I really really need to get back into the Slinky game but my head is not in the right place, maybe when I get back to work it will be? Not putting any pressure on myself life is complicated enough without being hard on myself.Hugs all round xx8
