Morning all. Not too bad a mission for me as I decluttered everythign off the living room floor the other night. And I dont have many surfaces.

After i've dropped DD to preschhol I have to collect dry cleaning and go to vets but after that a serious amount of hoovering as flea paranoia stays with me....

Also got my match on the Christmas thread which is very exciting to plan to pack a box later.

Have a good day all.

Right people. I will be back on track today, if I can stay away from the xmas thread and stop crying!!!

My livingroom hotspots are WAY out of control.... need a good blitz - lets hope the kids behave for me today!

Flamesparrow · 27/11/2006 09:35

Ok, so my sink isn't shiney, but we can work on that... hotspots in the lounge desperately need doing.

Full of joy and love of the world (had an email from santa...), so I think I can FLY too

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 27/11/2006 09:41

I'm still feeling crappy! Actually,worse today than yesterday. Phoned up and cancelled benifit review appointment.I can face going today.

All i have to do today is walk DD's upto their Dad for contact at 2 its to replace a missed one. Then i will have nearly 3 hours to myself.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 27/11/2006 09:42

can't not can!

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 27/11/2006 09:45

I have

tidied living room
tidied kitchen
swept kitchen floor
hoovered living room

hotspots need doing

Jelley · 27/11/2006 09:53

Hello, I had a busy weekend and did no FLYing, but have to wait in today for a delivery, so I will try.

I'm going to start with the kitchen and then do the mission, and hoover in the sitting room. I know that room will be easy to rescue.

Also need to try and stay away from Christmas thread

Am tempted to get off my arse and get the outside lights out of the loft!

Am back from a busy and unmotivated week - felt as if I wasn't home at all last week!

Slightly distracted today though as having issues with DS's school swimming lessons and have spent 30 mins on phone to another Mum and have drafted a letter too.

And am shattered as house alarm went off at 5.30 this morning for some reason - more likely to be problem with system than a burglar.

Hotspots in living room are so hot they are probably unapproachable without serious protective gear!!!! Am off to supermarket shortly but will tackle later. DS has a friend coming over after school so while they are on Playstation/wrecking playroom I will tackle living room.

Hope everyone is well. Am loving the Xmas thread - got my match and it is someone I actually "know" on MN which is nice although i won't out her. Have sent my vouchers off last night.

redheadmum · 27/11/2006 10:16

hey y'all

feeling v motivated! (am a newie)

washed for England have now caught up! cleaned shoes, did a nightime routine and kept that sink shining....

gonna tackle the lounge and overgrowth of toys once I've done a slow cook

boomie · 27/11/2006 10:21

Hello not been flying for ages and my house looks a mess again. I know, I know, a little every day should have stopped it getting this bad but we've all been ill (excuses, excuses). Anyway, cleared out lounge over weekend so it looks OK ish, will concentrate on kitchen and hopefully "bless" my house today.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 27/11/2006 10:55

Hope everyone is busy tidying!

Outside lights are down now and im wiped out again.
Hope to get them put up later.
