Weekly Flylady Thread 30th June 2008

pigpen

Crappet in the back room is now scrubbed as well.. it is blue!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought it was grey with black sticky patches!!

Now.. I have the landing to finish.. and the bathroom and loo need a jolly good scrub each and the kitchen needs a whizz over with an hour spent on the piled high worksurface.. the one my head is saying .. bung it all in binbags and bung it in the shed.. but I am civilised.. I am a flybird.. I will try to get it done!! I shall do my best but I have to get it done before 1pm tomorrow..

Agenda for tonight is..

Jelly, trifle, tabbouleh and boil eggies!!

boddy

Been a busy day but have not got a lot done off my list.

Went to see mum and we had a nice visit together. She does appear to be getting more confused though.

Just done a HHI while watching tv. Had a quick tidy and Im going to chill now. Feel as if Im coming down with a cold or something. Will take some echinacea to ward it off.

Sinderella Hope DD has had a lovely birthday.

g&b Good luck to your brother

Mudbath Your course sounds really interesting. Im just a amature with essential oils. My sil is a aromatherapist and keeps me right.

I'm worn out Combination of housework, studying and then seeing Ex tonight turned me into a blubbering wreck while he was out with DD. Text a couple of people saying ""WHY am I a blubbering wreck?" (or words to that effect) and got a couple back saying "its okay. its normal. you'll be fine" and things along those lines :rotfl:

Supposed to be going Superlambanana hunting tomorrow with DD.... text my mate and said "Going to bed now so I'm assuming you're not coming unless I hear otherwise, we're leaving here around 10". If he don't like it then he doesn't have to come with us, or he could even meet us somewhere in town, but he won't be getting there as cheaply as me and DD unless he does come with us as we're going by train and using a railcard whereas he'd have to get the bus or pay full fare. :rotfl: :rotfl:

I've decided to do myself a favour - I'm going to go upstairs, make my bed up with clean bedding, have a semi-pamper bath (defluff and moisturise but thats about it) and go to bed.

Will check in over the weekend but don't expect much to get done at all except maybe dailies. :wave:

Hi

I've managed to get a big chunk of my list done so i'm quite happy with that. Just Ds2's room to do tomorrow now, it's so messy it's unreal and he's only 2. i've made Ds1 do his own which has taken 2 days but it's done. Shame he won't keep it like that though:rolleyes: .

I have also cleared my ironing mountain and paired a million socks. I'm going to try and keep on top of it now;) .

Made pizzas and a loaf
Stripped and washed our bedding
Stripped and washed spare single bedding
CLEANED CUTLERY DRAWER
Washing is all up to date
Most of irioning done
Hoovered downstairs 3 times this week(just the bits that show)
Dusted throughout house
Cleaned washing machine filter
Cleaned behind washing machine (only because we were checking for leaks)
Cleaned bathroom and cloakroom

Will try better next week.

lil_me

Pigpen you could try these http://www.carpetdealers.com.au/carpet_stain_removal.htm
nicki, you'll have those moments sometimes, it's nothing abnormal, you're doing great
Mudbath well done, wish my DP could cope with the boys alone, weekend or even a night of sounds like bliss, however I'd probably miss them like crazy.
Ches that sounds like you have done plenty to me, more than I have I think, I've tried and failed twice at onion marmalade

Decided to push my luck tonight, got DS1 to try another new food, he had a hissy fit over it but actually liked it. I get brave sometimes and just go for it pushing boundries a bit

Feeling very tired, not making much progress on the assignment but have noticed today a little 'mistake' I made, which has brought much relief, one assignment is due on the 16th not 2, the other is due on the 30th. I have no idea why I got it mixed up, I think I was looking at the combined calendar and mistaking that for the other, I haddn't realised it was a combined one, but much better, saves me asking for an extension (I hope) which is embarrassing and just makes me even further behind for the ones that follow. It's the September ones which are due at the same date, 2 days after the youngest goes back to school which means lots of studying over the hols.....not what I wanted to do but never mind. They must realise that a lot of OU students have families and it's a nightmare trying to study during the summer holidays.

Well I think an early (ish) night is calling, sort dogs out etc then bed time. See if I can get to sleep before midnight for a change.
