Weekly Flylady Thread 30th June 2008

Mabboo

Who would have thought there were so many cobwebs! My subconscious must have been telling me not to look up! I'd never noticed before.

All done except for the woodwork. Run out of cleaner and big shop not due until tomorrow morning. Will busy myself looking for stuff to Ebay while I wait for OH and DS1 to come home. Then dinner, DW, S&S and that's that!

Thank you PigPen and everyone else. Day 1 was pretty painless and I got so much more than the list done. I couldn't have done it without you!

luby-lou

Yay! Did lots in the kitchen yesterday and tackled ALL my ironing last night - 2 and a half hours worth!!!!!!! So although I've not done any flying to speak of today except DW and TD my list looks like this:

I really like our new GP, phoned up, said 'I'll sort a prescription for tablets because there is no way he'll take the medicine, I don't prescribe it because I wouldn't take it either it's vile. Do you want a prescription for all 8 in your sons name as that way it's free? We'll call the additional ones 'incase of reinfection' and phone me if you need more ' sorted out now, just got back from the pharmacy. Ds2s happy with his present, a new nail brush, he loves it, any excuse to play with water!!! Got Ds1 some more hand spray so he can use that in between washes to reduce paranoia/obsessive washing, he for some reason wanted to keep the worms and get more, he thinks he's a walking wormery, oh great :rotfl: me saying they were harmless etc it's gone the other way, he now doesn't want to kill the worms!

Washers been on 8 times today :rotfl: weather has improved so all line dried apart from the load that is in now. Just the boys beds to remake, have to go to visit DPs Dad this evening, we've warned them and they said it's ok.

Oh and I've got my own way, we'll be away until the morning after my birthday, site looks great, a little expensive but only what I am due in Quidco money so thanks Grand National and Car Insurance for that kids activities for DSs if they choose to, DS1 probably won't, DS2 loves stuff like that, I explained they have special needs and they seem ok with it. 2 adventure play areas, dog walking area, tennis courts and a lakeside beach. Our first proper holiday in the carvan booked, but hope to do more before then, great feeling booking it and writing it on the calendar! My Mam had booked to have my birthday off but now she's ended up having my idiot sisters kids anyway. I'd just rather be 'away' for my 30th so it can pass without too much recognition!

Well we're going out about 6.45pm, not for long, need to sort kids dinners and do some more of my list!


[strike] Bath/shower everyone
Doctors/pharmacy for stuff (treatment, antibac wipes, nurofen, 2 nail brushes for them to take to school)
DS2 apppointment
Call about DS2s missed appointment my fault
Strip all beds & wash everything! Bin Ds2s waterproof sheet, another he's managed to shred[/strike]
Try to get everything dry (I think my electric usage this week will be sky high!) one load to go
[strike] CUT DSs NAILS! [/strike]
Remake DSs beds with spare linen (incase not everythings dry)
Kitchen - not too bad but needs some work
[strike] Clean bathroom [/strike]several times
[strike] Vacuum downstairs
Vacuum upstairs [/strike]
Studying - wherever and whenever I can fit it in
Make sure laundry is put away asap so that pile thing doesn't happen again
[strike] Somehow lecture DSs about keeping clean without creating demons like when DS1 got paranoid last time about germs and washed his hands so much they were constantly covered in blisters - mission impossible?
Email McLaren F1 team :rotfl: long story
Arrange meeting with disability group to offer to do activities [/strike]

Hi folks

Hope the day is going well for you all.

Ironig:- Inever iron bed shhets / duvets all that faffing around with large things, wash them, dry them, fold them..........end off!! that leaves time for the other stuff that does need ironing.

List some ebay stuff, see they got fined today BIG time! no doubt the fees will be going up to cover for it!!

Must water spuds tonight but they are growing well in the bags.

sinderella_2

Lil me, have a great holiday and 30th!!!

Scared how come you did your whole list! I wish I could manage it! And lil-me, 8 loads of washing, you all put me to shame!

I've done 1 load with 1 more going on now, changed the bed (just mine kids will have to wait a bit longer:o) I've done a cursory clean of the kitchen and bathroom, will do the floors tomorrow and surely something else? Oh yeah, I've put away about a third of the clean laundry that had sat on the spare bed gathering dust for weeks. It's now shaken out and put into the new furniture so I will finish that tonight and tomorrow.

Still struggling with this lark!

lil_me

Thanks sinderella but it's not for over a month yet, just with it being in the summer hols I had to book now, was only one spot left on the site I wanted.

Oh and sinderella some days the newbies put me very much to shame, today I've done what I have because I had to with the wiggly things, it was like having a firecracker up my ****,

Oh and for the last whatever minutes, I've sat reading this site http://thegreshlets.com/ crying my eyes out

My boys have just had a massive hug and don't know why, I know we've all had our moments with testing children over the last few weeks, but please forgive them and hold them tight, never know when someone might be taken away from you.

Lil_me, great news about the prescription. And is it maybe asthma that can be treated with a tape worm??? There is some research into it anyway.

Sinderella well done!! Don't you feel better seeing what you have done rather than what you haven't??

I lied, I have only half cleaned the ove, it's soaking with stardrops and vinegar so off to wipe it out while dinner cooks (on the hob)
