    Happy New Year ladies.

    Hugs to those that need them (it can be a hard time of year) and a big thank you to Lil_me and Pigpen for your inspiration.

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    **seconds the effing fireworks** bloomin' dogs crying now, fingers crossed the boys stay asleep!

    Well I was going to stay up for DP getting home, town was quiet last year so he was in at 2am, but like I said it was a Sunday so might be different. Well this year it's very different, pubs are opening much later 4-6am depending which one, so looks like he's out until morning, told him I want breakfast in bed, so I'll end up with cereals or toast if he does :rotfl: so I think I will watch the Corrie I recorded and go to bed.

    Happy new year to all of you lovely ladies.

    I saw in the new year in real flylady style - I reached the bottom of one of the baskets of iron mountain :D , 3 hours it took and it was all DD's stuff I lost count when I got to over 80 items - that girl has too many clothes for an 8 year old !

    So I hope you all have a grand 2008, I'm off to me bed

    Happy new year to all flyladies and newbie flyladies - I really must go to bed!!!
    Update on list
    Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room

    [strike]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces[/strike]
    Level Two
    Clean floors Need to do but not enough time will do next week
    Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances

    [strike]Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary[/strike])
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wipe window sills, clean any marks off windows if required
    Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky do tomorrow tis minging
    Extra Mission:
    Choose one or more of:
    • Clean inside of fridge did just before xmas
    • Sort through cleaning cupboard, bin empties and move what needs using first to the front
    • Clean OVEN yes I know you all hate that one wonder how many choose it
    • Sort any one kitchen/dining room storage area, drawer, cupboard or a shelf
    • Check the freezer, maybe work what is in there into your meals for the week so you can spend less on groceries
    MUST freeze left over ham and beef - I assume that I can still use this as sandwich meat once its frozen? Does it taste the same?

    THANK YOU to pigpen and lilme for your suggestions re duvet - I am hoping that airing it outside will solve the problem. It is a huge super kingsize winter quilt so I have b** all chance of fitting it in my washing machine - and we dont seem to have a laundrette in my town?!? Am checking out the machines at the sheltered accom where stepdad/MIL live and hoping that might be big enough - we will see.
    Night night all - tomorrow is another day - and a peaceful one as DH is off to watch the football on a VIP event - very nice. I get to look after DS and do the housework - but I am on my nice shiny new laptop which was a xmas/anniversary present so I am prepared to overlook everything at the moment¬!!!!!

    lilo - dry cleaners usually do duvets aswell if you get no joy elsewhere. There isn't a laundrette in the town where I live but there is a couple in villages and housing areas. As for the sandwich meats, should be fine, I usually freeze it sliced in 'usable' portions, I'd rather get 2 smaller ones from the freezer when needed than waste half a large one.

    Right, late, I'm off to bed, see you all tomorrow, well, in the morning :rotfl:
