    :hello:

    Hope all is well in flylady land :rotfl:

    Gosh i am so busy its frightening but not getting very far.

    It was my birthday on saturday so i was out on the pish friday night and then out for a meal on saturday night. Thats me done for another year. Such a party animal aren't I!:rolleyes:

    Flying sort of, OHT is home for 2 weeks so i am kinda getting the jobs done that i struggle to do during the week when he is not here as well as just having some me time. This week alone i have had 2 lay ins :cool: didn't get up both days until 11:30am....how cool is that. Today we have been down to feed the ducks and then i have managed 4 loads of washing all hung out on the line and i am going to do the bathroom when little man wakes up. The house downstair could do with a quick swish and swipe everywhere but in an another hour my nieces will be here making it 6 kids, not sure if it wil be worth cleaning:o is that a good enough excuse, erm dunno but i am sure pigpen will let me know if its really lame or not.

    I have cleaned the garden up today didn't need much doing and hopefully the weather will hold out for tomorrow, we are going to feed the ducks but at cawthorne park in the morning and in the afternoon i want to get the grass cut both front and back....

    catch up later

    :wave:
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?

    Thanks for that GnB - he emailed back asking how much I wanted but by the time DH texted me back someone else had bid on it so not able to end it early:D £35 and 13 watchers.

    Have done bathroom, dusted, kitchen, mowed and weeded front garden and photo & listed another 3 things - 1 of which was for 10 days listing and has already got a bid:D .

    DD1 has a gooey ear again so doctor appointment made for 4.30. Just gonna hoover through and think about tea, may swap days round as not sure how long we will be stuck at the docs.

    think I need to rope the chimps in to help... bribed with.. CAKE!!

    Sneaks in through the open window hoping no-one will notice two week(ish absence):o

    I tried really hard to keep up to the flying once back at work, but it was hard enough to keep up to all the posts never mind fitting in cleaning as well :o .

    I have just got back from a short break in Blackpool with the ruggies and as I have the rest of the week off, I intend to jump back on the flying wagon. God knows I need too. I will try a flick back through the recent posts but in case I miss anything (((hugs))) to all who need one and congrats :j :beer: to anyone who is celebrating.

    Slopes off to peg out and vac stairs
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j

    Bedroom looking good now - has been a bit of a tip the last few weeks but finally looking good. Wish I could say the same about the kids' rooms!

    Know what you mean about men and cash Pigpen - when we went away I was looking for a place to stash £180 which needed paying into the bank - he suggested dropping it off at his mum and dads and they could put it in their safe. So thats what we did. Although somewhere between the car and his mums hand £40 went astray. So when I got £140 back on Wednesday I was not best pleased when he knew we needed the £180. Food budget for this week was £50 and £20 for half term entertainment so now no outings for the kids and shopping for the week £30. Told him he can mealplan and shop for the week cos I'm not going to! Oh, and he's now not speaking to me!

    Anyway off to get DD2 up from her sleep and entertain DD1, DD2, Niece and Nephew for the afternoon.
