    Morning everyone, sorry i haven't had a chance to read the thread been crazy here. Hope everyone is well.

    Do any of you remember me on about being nominated in my class, well i won and am being given a laptop:eek: :eek: :j . Have to go up to Belfast for a presentation really nervous about that but so excited.

    We finally got the letter from the OT so i'm now waiting on the architect to call me back so he can come down and get it and go over plan's again.

    Bad news is that under our lino in the kitchen is soaking and can't find where the leak is coming from so today i need to clear kitchen and pull lino up. We checked the sink, radiator and fridge but all dry:confused: .

    Right cup of coffee to get me going. Anyone want one lift away....:coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Morning all

    Vanilla well done you and nice to see you back. Talking of missing flyladies lots are AWOL Tia, Emmb, Jill, Tracey, poohbear,Taurus, where are you all?

    Bonsi - hugs I hope things turn about for you, would you come to the UK?

    Morning all,

    Firstly belated well done to Shell, I remember the first couple of times of going out on my own go with advice already given try to be on your own if you can.

    Vanilla well done with your nomination.

    SSL & PF good luck for your interviews.

    Lil_me thanks for the advice re outside airing its outside now and I think i may have seen two trees that i can get a line between will have a better look at the weekend.

    SSL hope you manage to sell at fixed price but if you can get a good rental income then that may be a blessing and work out better in the longer term.

    i am absolutely knackered today and have decided to take things easy, we all slept in this morning 8.30 before we knew anything - i am normally in bed between 11&12 but for the last two weeks its been between 1&2 and the body is fighting back,

    So today will aim to do -
    30 mins ironing
    open and rehome 5 boxes
    s&s living room
    s&s kitchen
    strip bed and remake
    try and find homes for shoes (at the mo some are in hall, boxes or lying on bedroom floor)

    Okay cuppa finished HHC anyone 11.45 - 12.15

  • Hi everyone

    Can I join you in this? I am fed up with my house constantly looking like a tip, and I can procrastinate for England when it come to housework. It's now 12.00 and I could have had the whole daily list done by now - so I just need some motivation.

    I have stripped off one bed so far, will come back later to update on whether I actually manage to do anything else!

    Welcome lizzie dripping

    Done the bathroom and toilet now. First load of washing dried and put away. I wasn't planning to do any more but the throws are on the line now. The weather forecasters said rain. I should have known that meant sunshine and breezy.....
