Morning all
I'd like to say I got the flying yesterday but I did get eldest son to hoover the entire house whilst I was out dropping flowers to my mother. I cleaned the kitchen sink including the plug holes.
I have collected my new boots, I think they are ok but will want to wear them indoors for a while to check and I need to order new orthotics for me and youngest son today. Today will be an ordering day as I have received / dealt with the last lot of orders now.
Happy Mothering Sunday to you all (that reminds me of PenPen - so long ago). I told the boys to really not bother, the supermarkets and Ama*** have received enough of everyone's £s this year but middle son away at uni has sent a parcel, no idea what it is. Eldest I will ask for time from to help with the lawn edging. Youngest can either come on a woods walk or cut a branch off a tree or go and collect something from scref** for me. I know I'm weird.
HB so inspired by your photo sorting.
Going to have a quick read over the week and I'll take a look at my flying list. There is a large cobweb on the hall light that needs to go today.

WAC for me again this morning - thanks Rosie for coming to see me when I rolled over to go back to sleep, and for asking to go out. That was at 3:45... At 5:30 I decided to get up and do a boring proofreading job, just to get it out of the way! Rosie of course went straight back to sleep. I shall probably have zzz this afternoon.
Hope you feel better today Narc0.
(((Hugs))) and spoons to all Flyladies, especially those for whom this day is difficult for any reason.
Essential flying only today, please. Treat yourselves with love and respect - you are all a-ma-zing!!! xxx9 -

Morning all. Happy Mother's Day whether to humans or furry friends or both.
I'm about to finish the curtains as it's easier when the dogs are not here. Will be seeing DD later for a socially distanced walk and to fetch the dogs home.

Dishwasher is coming Friday 😀 ... that will save my sanity a little so worth every penny in my eyes 👀
Quick question do you put it on after tea and unload it before bed. Or something different (assuming it doesn't get full up throughout the day) . Im sure I will work out a good routine

mumof3 there are some really scary stories out there about dishwashers catching fire and I know some people wont put it on when they are out or in bed. We load it straight after our evening meal and put it on, then I empty it as soon as I get up. Happy birthday to your youngest!
I got some washing partly dried outside, have cleaned the dog's crate, and run the hoover around. I got a lovely bouquet of flowers, chocolate and a card for Mothers Day. Have visited both mothers to leave a garden planter of flowers on their doorsteps.
DS1 has moved out. I thought I would be OK but I am not, he is only 10 miles away, I know I am being silly.
