Weekly Flylady Thread 28th July 2008

mumofjusttwo

Morning Soappie. Looks like it is just you and me this morning. Or the others are being really good and have started to fly. Well from reading the thread I assume it is the children's bedroom.

Not sure whether to do that/bathroom or my bedroom. My do the sheets etc as am up straight on the washing and ironing

Kids rooms are normally quite nice to do as not much needed doing. Need to move the tools out of DD rooms and anything else she shouldn't be playing (?) with. and get her into her toddler bed.

I'm just dropping in to say I'm still here - 1 day done and still ready for more (kinda!)

I spoke to my friends last night and they are sending me their 19yr olds x3 to stay for a night on sunday so I have an added incentive now to get the place respectable.

However, I have to go to the doctors this morning- 9.30am appointment and then do a shop at the Tesco over the road from it so I was just dropping by to say hi and see what today was...

TBH I have no kids and my spare room is my office but it needs a clean! I know what a HHC is but what is a HHI?

Morning tidy peeps!
After having severe rant at OH for being a lazy sod :mad:and getting into an argument, he is now gone and I can get on with my list. Can't do anything that requires hot water as we don't have any today!:mad:

(Can you tell I'm cross this morning?)

Anyway, here's my list, which I will do if the bloody kids ever stop whinging.

1. Put WM on. Put away yesterdays washing. (If WM works with no hot water)
2. Put out washing, put cushions in the WM.
3. Sweep LR.
4. Kids room - Wipe window sill
- Throw away broken toys
- Dust light fitting, curtain poles

5. Find 5 things to ebay/freecycle
6. Fill a bin bag? (OH went mental at me yesterday for throwing his things away (it was a broken salt cellar) so now I am not allowed to throw any thing of his away. Even though most of it is under the bed and has not been unpacked since we moved the time before last :mad: )

Hope everyone is having a better day than me!
Happy flying, I'm off to get dressed.

HHI is half hour ironing (see first post)
I don't iron so I ignore this one!

mumofjusttwo - are you not speaking to me this morning?;)

Anyone up for a HHC - 9.15 - 9.45 - or is that too early for you?

Good morning everyone!

Thanks for he welcome back jjef.

ragz I know what you mean about OH and throwing away their junk. When I first moved in, OH had a huge collection of socks with holes in. He had so many socks that the drawer wouldn't close, so I decided to bin all th socks with holes. I put them in a carrier bag, and tied it up and put it in the big bin outside. He then went to the bin and dug out the bag and brought them back in! I had to hide the bag when he was out at work, and make sure that I put it in the bin on the day the binmen came! lol

heatherbelle a HHI is a half hour ironing. I don't have a spare room as such either, but we do have an office come junk room in desperate need of decluttering - at least I could do some of my stuff (OH is mostly to blame for the stuff in here - he even has some Russian books from his ex-wife of 10 years ago and he doesn't even speak or read Russian!!!).

Right, the weather here is meant to be thunder and rain tomorrow, so best put a load in the WM so the neighours don't get to the line first (good motivation the competition for line space).

Breakfasted, just need to have a shower (do I wash my hair if I'm going to the hairdresser's this afternoon or not?) and get dressed.

Ironing? I don't iron! HA! My OH does all the ironing he needs to do and I don't iron my own clothes - hung correctly when drying and they are fine. I last ironed 2 months ago for a skirt which needed a touch up. I'm sure you are all cringing at me right now!

I'm off to the doctors with a cup of tea in my travel mug. Hoping to be back refreshed and relaxed to blitz my list today!

juliejim, I'll try to do something in the HHC with you, but still not dressed, so that may limit what I can do.

Good morning ladies!:hello:

Heatherbelle - my guess, as a fairly fresh flylady (good alliteration that) is that HHI is half hour ironing. Am I right?
Thanks for the acknowledgements, all. Michelle - I am primary (junior) teacher, bet you are LOVING your maternity leave.
I am feeling VERY virtuous as have cleaned out the scarves/gloves/hats drawer. The 'lights' are on the line along with other laundry; the 'darks' in tha laundry basket waiting for some mucky friends then they can go fo a swim and the outgrown/unwanted thrown! And it wasn't even on my list - so now I have a drawer to admire AND a cupboard. For good measure I threw in the oven gloves, so they're washed, too.
Anyway - back to you lot.
Good vibes to ssl and to Pigpen's mum's dog.
Mudbath - hope you're feeling better and that the finger is getting better.
Ragz - check the back of your washer if you can see it. If you only have 1 pipe going in (probably blue) it's a cold water fill so you'll be fine. My new washer (bought about 2 months ago) is a cold water fill but my previous took both. I know about this because I PLUMBED IT IN MYSELF AND I DIDN'T TEAR THE VINYL which obviously I am proud of.
Off to peruse some more threads and have breakfast then off I go. Estimated FLY launch time at 9.30.
Have a good day y'all.

I have, obviously, no life.
