    hollyh that's why flying is good on here, because it helps you accept that you actually do quite a lot, it's just most isn't thanked or sometimes even appreciated (ok maybe most of the time)

    Done insides of cupboards, oops, forgot that one. Emptied 500mls of water from the dehumidifier this morning, that's kinda scary in under 24 hours. Vacuuming next....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Right another HHI complete and all put away wooohoooo

    Now a quick ebay parcelling up session before going to collect A & W from school. Then up to take some flowers to daddy and tell him what all about A's day so far. Back to more visitors, cousins and friend with pressies no doubt. Which just leaves time for tea and then cubs!

    Hi AnW'sMum Happy birthday to A

    Just time to quickly wipe out the fridge before I get little one. Then it is on standby taxi duty to collect DS1/2 from various sporting events and deposit and next ones with tea inbetween.

    I think you'll find I'm a Converted Flylady Gobsh!te Stalwart now, ak-cherly:p :D

    Done everything on the list today, ... except the cupboard fronts, insides, contents of one. I've done the doors, from every angle, of one cupboard and one shelf inside it.... baby steps:o .

    Time for a cuppa and try and finish some Christmas cake.

    Aww AnW - that post just made me cry - really can't imagine how hard it is for you and your lovely children.

    we really should appreciate what we have. Life is far too short to stress about the little things

    Have the biggest hug ever xxxx
