I got a massive fifteen minutes before she woke up and demanded to "help" me sort the house!

See.. I just knew it.. they have an inbuilt mechanism I swear that wakes theme very time you want to do something that doesn't involve them!

My list for tomorrow;

Finally Friday - those terrible kids rooms and spare rooms
Level One
Vacuum Floor (even if it's just where you can see)
Level Two
(kids rooms) Strip beds, vacuum mattress and replace with fresh linen
Level Three
Dusting and cobweb checking inc the high reach places if safe to do so
Put anything back in it's place that isn't where it should be - if this task is huge just spend 10 minutes on it
Extra Mission Task Choices

• Time for the Friday Flylady Fling, aim for 27, if you can't find that many, well done, you are obviously making a difference
• Sort through some toys/books/clothes even if it's just for 10 miutes, making sure any broken ones are dealt with/flung, dirty ones get wiped/washed before putting them back and anything that should be parted with is gone!
• Clean kids rooms windows and the sills!
• Wipe any sticky marks off doors and walls in the kids rooms, may aswell wipe the lightswitches and handles over too
• Spend 10 minutes making any important calls or doing paperwork filing
• Sort washing machine
• Do another washing load
• Make a cake

That's it for now. See you all tomorrow xx

Tracyg.. glad the funeral is over.. it always seems easier once you are beyond that.. I hope everyone is coping ok. That is so bad they took you to the wrong chapel.. can't believe they would be so useless!!.. and the rain.. what can we say.. good excuse for smudged mascara (((hugs for you and hubby)))

Thanks pigpen! It was the 1st anni of us losing my cousin yesterday and then that today so me and DH are just relieved its all over. Believe me the undertaker had a very, very quiet, sern word from me, he didn't even know the name of the chap whos funeral it was - 'disgusting and disrespectful' was what he got along with 'the look'. Thanks for hug, we are just chilling with a glass of wine.

Tracyg hugs hun it sounds like you have had an awful day. Today is the anniversary of the passing of a dear old lady I knew. She was my counsellor for a while and taught me so, so much. Tomorrow it is 3 years since we lost Dad, funny how they both went together, within hours of each other and even now if I could have a night in a pub with any 2 people dead or alive I'd choose those two. They never met but would have greatly respected each other.

Evening everyone

Another non flying day here as been at work and then to my parenting class. It is interesting stuff altho the chap says it doesnt cost us anything - it cost me a tenner for a babysitter tonight :eek: . What do all you guys pay, I got told £4 - £4.50 per hour, thats more than I pay my childminder. Hope it'll be worth it in the end.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts over the last few days, headache has finally gone after 4 days guess its associated with AF or flooding or whatever you call it (and what does AF stand for, altho I know what it is I havent worked it out yet - doh!)

Havent caught up on ANY of todays thread so best wishes to all those in need.

Will try and do a bit of something when I've sorted DD out, so might catch you all later

Gah! My mum used to call me Crystal tips when I was younger my hair was awful. That was until I shaved it all off, and I mean litrally! I had grade 3 all over! I've grown it out now, only took me 3 years to get it to my shoulders!
I have a photo of me shaved head somewhere, if I can find it I'll post it.

Kaz.. AF stands for Aunt FLo..

Raph.. I'd LOVE to do that!! People would think I was ill though lol

I decided kind of.. long length feathered layers.. from jawline and have it shorter.. to shoulder blades.. would that be girly and flicky?? and get rid of the blooming split ends? LIKE THIS except my hair.. not a wig lol

Hiya, I thought I'd get stuck in as soon as I got home this evening and before coming on here. I'm working a day behind too so I've changed my bed, wet dusted and vacc'd in there and put WM on.
I've been reading the posts for the last hour in between making and scoffing pie, chips and beans (tired and needed comforting carbs). Busy lot!

I don't know where to start with who's done what so hugs and happy vibes to those in need and going through cacky times.

Early night for me, am beat and am out again after work tomorrow. Can't hack the pace.. zzzzz. Am 43 in May btw. And I can't offer hair advice; mine looks like a mad woman's f***y according to an ex-hairdresser I work with. Delightful.

Have a good evening, catch you tomorrow night perhaps.

Dusty - hugs for tomorrow, thinking of you and you know, those two might have met 'over there' or whenever it is

Oh and I'm 27 this year and you know I can't wait to get to my 30, never felt comfortable in my early twenties. And my hair, think poor man's Posh Spice! DS's hair is really curly this morning it was stood on end at the front, find it a nightmare to deal with
