Morning everyone!

We had a lovely peaceful breakfast with no arguing between my two. A miracle. I gave them breaky and then told them if they wanted to argue, shout, call each other names and hit each other that was fine but could they not bother coming to tell me about it. Their faces were a picture and they were as good as gold and did tonight's reading and spelling so they don't have to do it later. They came upstairs already for school and said it was fantastic and they were going to do their reading etc in the morning from now on. Funny, isn't that what I suggested sometime last year! Lol.

Today's list:

Thursday Bathroom, downstairs loo and clinic

Level One
Clean floors
Level Two
Clean baths, toilets and sinks
Dust clinic
Level Three
Clear clutter from floor
Wipe down tiles in bathroom
Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required

Extra mission:
Pick whichever you want to attempt:
- Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms
- clean the radiators in these rooms (and behind them if you can)
- unload dishwasher
- unload washing machine / dry for ten minutes and hang
- freeze lasagne
- 27 boogie woogie fling thing
- shred / file 27 things in study
- clicks / surveys / pigsback etc

Oh yes, and i've lost 4lbs in the first week of my healthy living campaign. I'm so chuffed! xx

Morning :wave:

Shell *mwah* thanks for missing me x

(((((hugs to all those who are poorly)))))

(((((hugs to all those with child issues)))))

I've managed to catch up with the thread, took me a while you chatterboxes Rach it's nearly Wedding Day time :j

Well. Started work yesterday and what a shock to my system that was, only had to work 2 hours but that was rigorous cleaning non-stop and I was exhausted lol then had to run about to the DSS etc with tax credit forms (they're being fast-tracked) littley was off school poorly all day (she has great timing) so i didn't actually get in till 4pm THEN I had kids and tea and teenies hogging the pc so didn't get chance to post.

Got lots to tell you re: the job but it'd take ages so a shortened version, it seems I'll be 'on call' mon-fri as I'll be covering sick as well so will be given jobs at short notice, but got my first permanent 'house' on Friday it's for 4 hours :eek: and you have to clean everything O.M.G! :eek: I'll be fit to drop!

Got all my workclothes paid for by the dole (fnar fnar) got a £250.00 grant for starting work yay :j hopefully it will go in next week cause I've got nowt eep! Just got the HB/CT forms to sort out today - I get 4 weeks of both 'free' as it were so wont have a huge backlog of either to pay out of my money - so it's all good actually, woot! :T

I feel like I've gone ten round with Mike Tyson today though lmao who'd have thought all that cleaning would make you ache so much I'll get fitter.

Will post my list in the next post cause I've rambled again. Sorry.

it was just what I would have got out of it as a daughter.. these young 'uns are VERY fly and pick up on ANYTHING that can cause a rift or they can manipulate to their advantage.. especially if it means she gets to stay up late!

Like a lot of families my mother ran the house. I was very much a daddy's girl, but they worked as a team.
If I asked dad for something the answer was always " what did your mother say?"
No chance to play one off against the other!

Good morning everyone,

I was so inspired by all of your posts yesterday that I went home and cleaned, de-cluttered a box, made dinner, got Spare room ready for IL's staying tonight and all while watching Everton loose... :mad: I can't wait to start flying properly, next week. Last night needed to be done as we have guests tonight so, it was only an 'on the surface' clean. I did get 2 loads of washing done, though! Yipee!

lil_me - thanks for your help re: paperwork. The paperwork you have filed for 2007, what does that consist of? Is it everything, ie: phone bills, mobile bills, gas, elec, Sky TV, Credit cards, TV license, insurance (etc....)?? I'm just wondering if there is some bits that don't really need to be kept or should I keep it all for one year and then chuck it?

I'm glad there are others on here who work FT and fly in the evening!

I've told my OH that I have joined this forum and he doesn't believe I'm going to keep up with it. My chance to prove him wrong - again! :cool: Men, eh???

Morning flyladies and big hugs to you all.

Now I want you all to do me a favour. You are all (yes that is you and not the others) to do something for yourselves today. I want you to think about you. It could be as simple as having what you like for tea even if the others hate it or treating yourself to a little something. Some of you, mentioning no names, are turning into martyrs and it is not good for you. If you give, give, give you will end up empty and no good to anybody. One of my favourite sayings in life is 'put your own oxygen mask on first'.

Sorry pep talk over. Off to bank/boots/lidl (should have raspberries canes in today) and then back to ebay.

Good morning all,

Hope everyone's feeling better. Hugs to anyone who needs or wants one. Everyone should have at least one hug a day!

Dustykitten, are you watching me? I'm just putting my nebuliser on. Creeeeeeeeeeeeeepy!!!!:rotfl:

Ashbart - well done, but go steady.

Lil_me, will you come and sort out my paperwork, pretty please?

I'm still on a go slow, but

• took hubby to work
• DW emptied
• WM filled and emptied and drying hung up
• dogs and cats fed
• porridge made
• just going to start flying round the lounge as DS's GF's Mum (with me so far?) who thinks she's my best friend (bless her) is bringing GF round at 11 to visit me - never mind the fact I can;t talk without gasping!!!:eek:

Who's up for a HHC 10.00 - 10.30?
