    Morning all. Hugs to FFP and for HB and Devilcat.

    I should have listened to my body yesterday and rested. As it was, I didn't want to waste a day off, so carried on, and then spent all night awake in agony, and then passed out in the bathroom this morning with the pain. I'm such a wuss. Painkillers now kicking in.

    So no flying here today. I am doing my treasurer accounts, sorting an online shop and just dropping the dogs off at the groomer shortly.

    Hope everyone is having a great day.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all,

    Where have I been again? Who knows, but certainly not flying. I resolve to be here more, the house is suffering for it.
    Lynne goodness me, that must have been really scary, you are ordered to rest! I hope you are feeling better. Likewise Jazee, do nothing!

    I'm going to do what I can from the lists, starting now. DD1 has her friend here until tomorrow (yikes, how did I agree to this, I am not good with overnight guests, especially children. It makes me very anxious and I don't sleep), but I'm just going to let them entertain themselves today while I clean.

    Onwards!

    PS Piggers good to see you back.

    Thanks for the lists -All looking ok here at the moment. I did have window open but it's closed again now as it's quite chilly again today.

    Started sorting through some summer clothes and have put some for charity bag.


    Cuppa time and then out with dog.


    Hugs

    Where did the morning go??
    Jazee -squeeze onto the flylady sofa and stay there until you feel rested. And yes I am nagging!

    Not a lot ticked off from the list today so far, apart from HHI and dewebbing the lounge. I broke my feather duster so had to screw it back together - and there's a sentence I never thought I'd hear myself say!
    Kitchen and dining room finally vacuumed. Likewise the inside of my car, hopefully ready to sell it :(
    DD vacated her bed so I quickly stripped it while her back was turned and the WM is just finishing now, ready to go out on the line. The bedding on the line, not the WM..
    Quick lunch, then I'm off to meet DH to go look for a car.
    Oohh - WM done. Off I go... Catch you later.

    Thanks Jazee. You're not a wuss, you're trying to do too much, so, rest please along with Lynne on the Flylady Sofa. I'll send a Chippendale round later to bring a G&T with a large slice of lime and lots of ice for each of you.

    Hi Greent! :wave: Welcome back.

    Devil cat was very much more like his old self this morning and is now curled up on the sofa next to me while I deal with paperwork and so on, having been on my lap for an hour which slowed me down a bit. I need to pot up about a dozen plants and zip the vacuum cleaner around.
    Better is good enough.

    Shower rescrubbed, there were still some mouldy bits.. freezer partially rejiggled.. I am so going through that more thoroughly next time we come.. There is stuff in there I have seen in time after time.. clearly it doesn't get used because it is still there!! Did I mention I unblocked the vacuum cleaner which had slurped up a hair clip at some point and then wet floor grot so it was utterly useless.. it now clears the floor, I did express a bit of concern to OH that his mum might not be able to use it now it has suction.. :/

    Anyway.. I'm going home so can disappear for another couple of months.

    Taling my poorly Squeak and my conjunctivitis home.. :/

    Hi everyone, It is a long time since I posted, however the mess and guddle in the house is starting to get to me. I will start doing things today and try to catch up with Monday and Tuesday's list.

    S&S bathroom
    S&S kitchen
    15 minutes fling frenzy...enlist the help of anyone and everyone. Issue bin bags and fling that junk/rubbish and clutter. Get all recycling out too. A straight/tidy home automatically looks cleaner and lifts the spirit!
    Spend time with those you love.

    Level 3 - wipe splashbacks
    Clean sink - don't forget UNDER the draining rack!
    Sweep/mop/vacuum floors
    Extras
    IF you haven't done it recently go through herbs and spices. Fling OOD stuff
    Some flyladies keep a list taped to the inside of the cupboard - feel free to join us
    If the kiddies are off school enlist their help!
    If your spices are spic and span then pick another cupboard to sort.
    Make me time a priority - if littlies are taking up all your time plan something for when they're back at school


    Wonderful Wednesday - reclaim your lounge
    Level 1
    Open the windows
    empty bins
    remove gibble
    remove dead or wilting flowers
    Level 2
    Dust everywhere - skirting boards, picture rails, dados, mantles
    etc
    Wipe and coasters to remove icky stickiness - and wipe light switches and sockets
    Vacuum or wipe sofas and seating
    level 3
    Now take a CRITICAL look round - check for cobwebs
    Dust light fittings and wipe bulbs
    Finally clean the floor - mop or vacuum
    plump up the cushions
    make sure your lounge is a relaxing haven for you all
    Extras
    S&S kitchen and bathroom(s)
    HHI - lets get that mountain conquered
    Make sure all food in your fridge is allocated a mealplan use.
    If your kiddies go back to school next week check PE kits is washed and ironed - and new bits named. Oh - and check footwear fits...you wont believe the number of kids who think the teacher can somehow solve THAT problem!
    Homework projects - are they done? started?
    Spend a sunny half hour in the garden - little weeds become big weeds!
