Raising a toast to CyclingYorkie, I cant believe it's five years.  I never had the confidence to do a Flylady meet, even though she was not that far away.

She and I never met either.. more through circumstance than anything else. I sometimes think of things to message her and remember She already knows but cannot reply.. She has such a lovely family too,

I shall inflict myself on you one day.. be sfraid lol. I think we have both been her elong enough to know the other is not a serial killer

Goodintentions

Good evening!
Thank you for the lists ladies.
I need to get organised & actually finish something (anything!!) So much to do that I don't know where to start!! Probably the bedroom, as we are having the carpet fitted next week 😁

In other news.....we had the most AMAZING weekend! DD1 is now a Mrs and honeymooning on the IOW. It was an incredible day, full of family, laughter, (happy) tears and hugs!! I am not a natural hugger, but there were a few people I really enjoyed hugging this weekend 😊 I will try and post a photo, if you will indulge me 😊 
There were times this last year that we worried that the wedding wouldn't happen, but it did! Despite CV and petrol queues!! Unfortunately my BiL and his family couldn't make it because 2 of them are CV +ve 😢 

Back at paid stuff today, but only 1 little girl who is as good as gold, and I finished at 2:30. It was just as well, as DS was decorating his bedroom and he called down at about 1:45 to ask how he cleans up paint!! 🤦‍♀️😱 Apparently he moved the ladder, but forgot the tin was on it!! I helped him clean up as luckily the baby was asleep! I used the carpet washer after she left.

Flying wise - WM x1, DW on, pots WULTD. I have also done some admin, including meter readings for the new energy supplier - it looks like I switched just in time!! 

Hugs, sticks & spoons to those that need them.

Aw GI how lovely.  Congrats to the former Miss GI.   So pleased for you all.  And doubly lovely to hear (more) good news.
More you ask.  Well I need to knit ANOTHER baby cardi.  My sister is to get a 7th grandchild...

GI, so pleased you had a wonderful weekend and congrats to DD1. I don't do hugging either and thrust myself upon a friend a few weeks ago. OH's stepsister is holding off her wedding until some sanity is found again. I can't see us getting an invite but I would happily go she is really nice, bit crazy but a good crazy I think.

Lionel is too big.. this cardy body is taking forever!

Morning all, 

I've joined you all before, and hoping I can join you all again. I have so much to sort out ready for Christmas, and mainly to get myself set up to start 2022 as I mean to go on... 

At the moment my focus is too declutter and keeping on top of the daily stuff and each room Tidy. I also need to declutter and decorate what will be dds bedroom. 

My goal this week is too get each room squared up. And list as much as I can for sale. I know I have Halloween outfits that no longer fit the kids so they are priority to be listed for sale. 

I have about 3 hours of free time before I need to pick up the kids. So I best crack on. 

Thanks all hope you have a great day !

Mad wave on the way through....

Loads to do today, but stopping briefly to congratulate the former Miss GI on her nuptials  and Valli on grandneice/nephew no: 7

I can't believe CyclingYorkie has been gone 5 years - she was so lovely x

Ionafan and I have met up.  Goodness knows what impression she got with me and my two in tow. Both boys are bigger now, but I still cringe when I think of Tiny going in the NT property fountain in his nappy 

Anyways...off to be busy...laters xxx

I once went on a website meetup.. I took 6 children on the train and a bus and 1 spent most of the day vomiting and my 4 month old was passed around 33 people the entire day while I dealt with vommy and cf rounded up the wild boys and my toddler stripped naked every 5 minutes.. Most people just understand somehow lol.

We should arrange a meet up at some point.. maybe half term... I can inflict Dot on you all lol.. and I apologise in advance for the questions, she doesn't mean to be rude.

It was a great day out, Dizzy, and one I'd love to repeat!  But I trust that Tiny is now out of nappies and won't be going commando

I'm always up for meeting Flyfriends, though it was easier to get to York or London from our old house on the East Coast mainline than from here, and as far as I can tell there aren't as many Flyladies on this side of the country.

Having problems with the church's Horribly Silly bank company and currently on hold to their business account "help"-line.  It's a good thing it's not videolink as I'm still in my PJs, although this morning I have already started WMx1, hoovered the study and  LR, put a pork joint in the SC, and sent various emails.  I had slept until later than usual, and although I left DH to enjoy his beauty sleep for another hour, it was well after 9 when I finally persuaded forced him to get himself out of bed.  The morning is disappearing fast, and we're supposed to be taking Rosie to the forest for lunch.....

Mademoiselle

Still morning here, just.  Been for fasting blood test with OH and then went for breakfast with him.
Back home and ironing done, WM on again and kitchen is tidy.
Need to sort lunch out for OH and then encourage DD1 to pack for her weekend discovering her new hospital and town where she starts at the beginning of November.  
Also need to sort somewhere, anywhere, still dot to doting around the whole house.  Bins out tomorrow evening so want to get it filled up again.  
See you all later

Ranted at school

Picked up blood results

researched them to the nth degree

Fluffers fed

Bossed Boog to shovel sh-poop.

set Squeak on with some History work (medieval churches/Domesday Book for today) and she is currently in her online Maths class.. BIDMAS today.. she has an isometric drawing to finish from yesterday, the History questions to answer, music practice and some reading to get through today and I may have OH take her out for a bit.. not sure where, the usual skate park has nowhere for him to park due to the fair which will be taking up the entire park and roads and common land for the next 3 weeks.

I have a Next return to sort (new bras being returned)

WM to feed,

DW to load

I need a whizz around the front room, maybe put away some laundry and then knitting Lionels cardigan for the remainder of the day.. because I can!
