That is it. I need to get my bum in gear so going for an hour challenge. I need to

S & S Bathroom - DONE
Do Lounge - DONE (level 2)
Make more french stick
Make jam tarts DONE
Make rice pudding (your fault for mentioning it Pigpen:p )
Phone and arrange hair appointment (may have it coloured too) DONE:D
Sort garage (will let littley have her scooter on drive so will do this PM)
Kids bath and wash hair night - AFTER SCHOOL
DD1 - reading and letters - AFTER SCHOOL

Not too bad, just gonna throw the rice pudding stuff in slow cooker and head off for nursery to collect littley. Also need to sort out the laundry basket as think I now have a load of darks and lights I can do.

Ok, seem to be on go-slow today but I got the most pressing things done so I'm happy with that.

sorted food then washed catering trays
S&S'd kitchen
swept living room/hall/kitchen
tidied living room
washed the tv/all units/clock
It's more than was done 30 minutes ago :T

Thanks lil_me I'll most certainly be asking all about that kinda stuff, I'm hoping the £100 one off payment for going to work is still in place too. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Awwwwww shame, I'll be busy at 1.30 so I'll have to miss the HHE - dammit

Hi,

haven't done this weeks hotspots but just did a bit of FLYing. Thought I would give the quick 15min thing a go. Found a timer but it only goes up to 11mins so I did 2 sessions. Managed to do some washing up, wipe the kitchen surfaces, and put on a load of washing.

Might go do 11 mins in the sitting room now and pick up some rubbish off the floor. I really hate housework but shorty chunks are psychologically more manageable for me.

Lol.

Did I mention rice pudding??? .... oh yes.. I remember.. actually it was hubby.. on his 'war time' thing.. he is still at it this morning.. asked if we are having roadkill for dinner tonight and asked if I'd be raiding the compost bin for 'leftovers'

Lil_me - have you used that spray that actually kills the enzymes that make the smell. We used to have one when we had a pet that wasn't very litter trained. I know that was a pet one but wondered if you could get one for general use?

Dusty Kitten - and there was me thinking you were amazingly supple able to do exercises like that! I'm glad i've not tried it yet, lol.

Jill - I hope you ended up having a good sleep. I remember feeling so weary when I got to that time at night. Hope you have a good day.

Lilo - hugs again xxxxxxxx

I've done a three mile walk with the dog this morning and visited my mum and dad on the way. Had a hot chocolate with my mum and a lovely chat. It was nice to be there without the rest of the family.

DS woke up at 430am having had a nightmare. I'm lucky as it's is first really bad one since he was very little. It's made me realise I really don't do early mornings and I appreciate the fact that they really are good and have never done early mornings thank goodness. I let him stay in with me which was a mistake as we kept each other awake till the alarm went off.

I need to go and pick up a prescription and then i'll do the rest of my list this afternoon.

Have a good day everyone.

Pigpen - war theme - I made cakes in Yr6 in DS school and the receipe used grated potatoe and dried eggs - it was truely disgusting but good fun.

Both bedrooms done so am really pleased. DS1 was a star actually had tidied it up for me and made the top bunk up.

Just going to do my corkscrew on a ball exercise as my upper back is stiff and then need to draft a peice to go into the school newsletter about everyclick.

Just a recap so I know what I have left to do;

Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Vacuum floors and sofas
Level 2
Dusting
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Level 3
Wipe light switches and banister
Clean any other glass like mirrors etc
Tidy shoes, coats and bags
Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, don't want any injuries)
Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks –

• Clear one hotspot or spend at least 15 minutes clearing it a bit
• Give the inside of the front door a wipe (if it's not pouring down you could do the outside too)
• Wipe the leaves of your plants
• Sort through any magazines or paperwork lying around
• Clean windows and sills in these areas

I think this is all doable as I don't work on Tuesdays. I also need to;
- sort washing out
- set dishwasher and unload
- breadmaker
- make a lasagne
- HHP challenge and blow up ball
- pick up prescription

Okay, lots left to do so i'd better go get that prescription. See you all later.

Morning all

So sorry Lilo

Dry here! It was bright too but it's clouding up now.

One load of washing done.

Level 2 on flying done.

Shopping delivered. Rang Asda to have a moan about substitutions (which meant I didn't get reductions for multi-buys). Waiting for phone call (half an hour supposedly, now nearly one and a half hours, will wait until noon and then ring again with my sterner voice).

Scrubbed kitchen carpet with stardrops to get out some of the mud, looks better but not for long I bet. I dry the dog's feet religiously but still some makes it onto the carpet.

Jill and lil_me, I can remember being that tired with disturbed sleep. None of mine slept through the night for years. I still sleep badly, I think I just got used to waking up all the time and it's a habit now.

Hi all,

Sorry to hear of your news lilo. My neighbour is going through a similar thing at the moment, so I know how stressful it can be.

Congratulations on your new job embb. The flylady job dust strikes again! Do you think Flylady is trying to tell us all something as we all seem to be being given an excuse not to fly if we're working?

Well I'm off again today with no voice, and have been signed off all week, so apart from Thursday, when I'm going in to do some planning, I'm back to flying again! Woohoo! I've missed it!

Anyone up for a HHC 12-12.30? Starting NOW!
