Weekly Flylady Thread 7th July 2008

Morning all. :hello:

Not caught up on the thread properly but hugs for all.

The weather is awful here today for DD's school trip :rolleyes: Its to Walton Hall & Gardens so I've just looked up the weather for there and its light rain all day. DD is most put out as she's been looking forward to it. Making her go to school in her wellies, with her shoes in a carrierbag. I'm pretty sure they're not going to be stupid enough to take the kids to a country park when the forecast is rain all day....but I could be wrong!!

Took her to the park yesterday and got caught in some really heavy downpours, and on our way home it was a thunderstorm - got home soaked through to the underwear even with waterproof coats on! :eek: Hung them up on the maiden and DD's is still slightly damp but wearable but mine is still wet so it looks like a jacket & brolley day for me and the possibility of putting the fire on to get it dry :rolleyes: Right, best make a move. Need to find £2 spending money and a moneybag for DD .... :wave:

Morning all

Right I am going to attempt this malarky again this week...trouble is I get so involved in reading the thread it leaves me little time to fly I will be doing a little at a time as I am 38 weeks pregnant and have a 2 year old so it'll be little and often for me. I have to wait in as a bloke is coming round to fit a new windscreen after ours acquired a big crack last week!!

I think I will be deleting from the list as it seems like I've achieved more rather than deleting. I like to see the list get shorter.

Right to begin:

Mad Monday - Master Bedroom & Landing

Level 2
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs..
Vacuum & turn mattress before replacing with fresh linen..
Air the duvet

Level 3
Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing

Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more


clean all the upstairs door frames
Clean windows in these rooms
my list

Write cheque for ground rent
post letters
Write thank you leters from ds
clear toys in conservatory
order dhs prescription

Think that is probaably it for now, no doubt my list will grow as the day goes on!! I don't know how it happens.

I can never keep up with this thread.

DS is teething so I will work around him.

Thank you, pigpen, for putting up the list.

Fling open the window and let in the summer! - What summer? It looks like October here!

Morning all

Going to go back and read later otherwise I'll never get started.

One load of washing hung upstairs.

I'm going to do the kitchen today, I prefer to stick to the old routine (I'm bad at change).

Going to take the dog out first while it's stopped raining for five minutes and then I'll get going. Back later

Morning all

Realy heavy showers here this morning - I got soaked on my way back from the school run. Decided to detour to the post office and corner shop as I was already soaked so at least that is one chore done.

Planning on half hour bursts today and really want to get loads done.

G&B hugs for you and the LO for today and tomorrow - you are both really brave

Welcome sammiell and daphne~sparkle and good luck to you both

Denise - hope your water bed has not frozen with it being -3

I was wrong they are taking them as the forecast apparently is "showers" :eek: I think I'll leave the washing and drying my coat off until she gets home so I can deal with her stuff.

Just finished my cuppa and checking stuff on the 'net so now I'm going to put last nights dishes away and spend an hour or so studying - mobile going on silent again :wave:

Fill out forms to send money to USA
Avon order
Empty DW
Hang washing out
Clean out hamsters
Clean out fish

Move kitchen trolley into understairs cupboard
