Sunday FLY! Odd I know but things still need sorting

[ImdreamingofaGROUCHYxmas]

Seems the housework never stops even for the festive period

Greyskull how great to see you!. Yep I remember you, Happy seasonal thingys to you too.
Welcome to Commuter Brilliant that you've chosen to join this happy throng
and
Hello to Tea and wendy and wolf and star and EHM and Ruby and Galen and Swan and Simply and oooh, Everybody

Got up to tidy the kitchen after DH's cooking. Honestly, it was a frightful state I don't make that sort of mess gardening and TBH I've seen cleaner skips

Better make some more vinegar spray, TTFN you lovely lot

good morning all. I have missed you lovely lovely ladies.

I hope everyone had a very very merry xmas and spent yesterday relaxing with their feet up.

I apologise profusely for my extended absence. I can't tell you some of the stuff that's been going on because it is work related and is therefore verboten. But it's safe to say we have been having a very hard time of it lately and this christmas week off is very welcome and to be enjoyed with great fervor.

I have done a few little jobs this morning but am really just getting up and getting dressed. Then like grouchy I need to do a post dp-cooking clean up. After that we are going to look in the sales to see if there is a tumble drier that we can afford. The motor burnt out in ours a couple of weeks ago and I am struggling to get through the washing and the house looks like its been hit by a wet-clothes tornado.

I've spent a fair proportion of the holidays washing up it must be said.
But I didn't mind, as dh was doing the lego...
washing up is quite restful in comparison...

Today we are having a very powerful attack of "don't want to see anyone-itis" and have re-scheduled a guest till Wed. More guests tomorrow [fthinkaboutthattomorrow]

Now I am going to tidy my room it is so so messy.

Anyone whose husband cooks, however flamboyantly, you should bless your cotton socks for them.
Dh has not cooked a single meal except breakfast.
And he has done his usual very annoying trick of complaining that something was left out last night, when last night he was complaining that I wasn't in bed...

I forgive him now, he has taken the kids out to the park and has reset himself to serene capable father function.
NOW BEDROOM - I could sweep the kitchen floor all day and it would never be crumbfree.

I've tidied most of my bedroom, but pile of clothes to be hung up still remains & hoovering of floor..
and now I have to cook lunch as everyone has returned.
still, all is calm - & I can see that dh is now on a short fuse after park and needs a nice lunch.
deep breath

Hi All

Off out to a party in a bit. Trying to work out how to store all these new toys. Eek.

Have tidied my bedroom, hung up all the clothes in co-ordinating sections, thrown away loads of coathangers, washed lots of cardigans, realized I have party clothes
now feel completely zonked.
but still need to hoover the blooming carpet
children have been playingnicely all afternoon dh has been reading nicely too

Lots of tidying going on.
I am Very Ill. Don't know if it's a virus or infection as I don't think I've swallowed all day! Throat, ears very sore.
Ho hum. have done little today, some sleeping.
see you tomorrow.

You all sound very active - I suppose I have managed to do 2 loads of washing but have also managed some wine . And mopped sticky kitchen floor. Also lovely sledging with dcs. Not quite up on the decluttering yet. Also rabbit and hutch in hall on account of sub zero temps. And straw, bits of hay etc.....

What is FLY?
