    Morning all.

    I'm going to have a busy day cleaning as i'm waiting for a phone call from the vet to see if our dog has diabetes. After having a cat with it at least I know what lies ahead for her. Fingers crossed she's just getting old though. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to clean I go ........

    Mmmmm, seem to have extra children here too - must be half term !

    Right, I have: S&S bathroom, put the shower headin vinegar to get rid of the limescale. Folded dry washing, paired the socks from that load and put the underwear away. Dealt with the post, put paper recycling out, made an important phone call (awaiting call back) found by sewing box so I can sew on A's cub badges for tonight and most importantly fed A's tamagotchi and played a game with it :rotfl:

    Phew!

  • Checking in - wow - it's the first time I've done a HHC and I was surprised how much I could do! I've really only done some dashabout tidying in the living room but it's made a huge difference already!!

    Big hugs to Jill and others who need them.
    Congrats again to rach and LOVE the photos - you look fantastic!

    Am I allowed to join the Flylady facebook website? Can someone PM me and tell me how, pretty please??

    Weekend went by far too quickly... Didn't have pub lunch in the end on Sunday as it didn't look very nice so, I made one at home. It was loverly!!! Just about to have chicken sandwiches from leftovers!!

    Hope all the OH's are behaving...!

    Will be flying when I get home - house isn't too bad but my washing needs to be put away. My small spare room bed is a hotspot for clean washing - just gets dumped there and I put it away when I'm feeling brave....! Can't decide what to have for tea tonight. OH's footie training has been cancelled so, will have to rethink on a dinner for both of us.

    Right, off to have that sarnie and a quick read of the paper before a manic afternoon at work.....! Have a good day everyone!

    AnW's- no one thinks of you as making us sad, you bring so much to this thread, although we have to be quick to get your choc LOL
    Solway - get better soon, I'd hang the curtains too
    JillD - some get advice being offered
    Mudbath - hope the doggie is ok xx

    Back from the docs, had a blazing row with the receptionist as she said I'd gone to the wrong waiting room, yelled at me in front of a packed room and frog marched me to the reception and called me a lair. Don't think anyone has ever stood up the old bi*ch before, after 4 hours sleep I wanted to rip her head off. Made her apologise to me once we found out it was HER error, shall be complaining too. They have a 'zero tolerence' on the way patients behave to them, should think about how the speak to us, felt good having a go back though!

    Doctor quite worried about DS as temperature is really high, if not come down later I'm to go back and prehaps go up to the hospital with him. Think she was worried with him having fits before. Thinks its a bad viral infection with a rash or chicken pox starting! Hope not chicken pox as we were at a party at the local soft play on Saturday so could have really passed it around.

    Nipped into Mr T to get DS some juice and bits to tempt him to eat and drink and brought a new digital temperature thingie too. Just settled him for a nap so going to do nothing while he sleeps. Might go for a walk later as its beautiful here.
    Lightbulb moment 15th Feb 2007:doh: Now Debt Free and plan on it staying that way!

    Baby on board!:D

    Hugs tracey how rude! Hope little one is ok, if it is chicken pox I would imagine it would show itself pretty soon. All of mine were vile the 24-48 hours before and then improved once the first few spots were out.

    I have finished DS3 room and the landing so upstairs looking quite good, downstairs in a completely different story!
    Tomrrow I plan to do DS2 room and the bathroom and then that is upstairs done.

    HHC in the garden from 1:30 if anybody wants to join me. I have borrowed a neighbours compost bin so hope to get that filled, plant out a few hellebores which I raised from seed and plant up some bulbs I have brought
