Happy birthday all those celebrating today
I've done everything on my list except clean my kitchen floor (as I remembered I'd only done it on Saturday), I've wiped around, bed is made, hotspots cleared, and I have nothing left to do except wash my bowl once I've finished my lunch.
Still have the house meeting at 3pm, and will do my washing at 5pm when it's my slot (and I only have 1 load for once!).Purple Penguin Power!

Shell hope your Nana in Law is better soon, must be a relief that she's now being looked after, that is too long to leave someone of that age.
LG sounds promising, fingers still crossed however!
:rotfl: at all the status changes, it should just say Flylady gobsh*te :rotfl:
Well I'm not taking part in the HHC because while you lot were chattering through a few pages I did 2 hours, yes 2 flippin' hours of filing!!! Argh!!! I had piles of paperwork everywhere. It's now all filed, some urgent stuff like - a fine which arrived for the car tax on the car I traded in last year which I didn't know was there (yes I lost my head a little with the garage when I phonedbut they did the same thing to my Dad 4 years ago) phoned about a form I sent in too early (see I'm just way too organised) few other bits of stuff too. I'm quite pleased it's done, I've got enough to half fill the recycling box in waste which thankfully has just been emptied. Just have to not let it get so bad again, hopefully my new little box tray systemy thing will help (see I even use technical terms)
As for spraying polish :rotfl: you bunch of cheats, genious but still cheatsI'll have to try that myself.
Right, what's left, hmmm, done level 3 in the kitchen, done 3 loads of laundry which are now on the airers (sure that stuff breeds when it's in the basket) dining room was done but that's now a table for 'items to return to shops' and 'stuff that needs packing and posting', filing done, suppose I should get the extra dog off the floor before I pick bratbag up.One day I might be more organised...........
