Oh I will be able to sleep tonight.. I am half dormouse!!... I spent half of last night listening for the mouse traps to go off!!

DS2's last fishy is still hanging on.. hopefully he will be feeling better tomorrow.. but I think he will be a little deceased.. all 3 of the others died in less than a week.. 2 were dead this morning... poor little things.. I knew he shouldn't have had them in his room.. stupid irresponsible boy.. can't even look after fish properly God help his girlfriend & her baby with him on the scene!.. he'll soon get fed up! I must admit I found myself browsing baby clothes in boots the other day.. *slap to head* soon sorted that!

Hi everyone

So I think this was yesterdays list? If Im wrong please tell me where Pigpen posts the list or where it is on the flylady site (I just got this off the thread).
Nonetheless I worked off of this list yesterday and heres how it went.

Tuesday bluesday- Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
[strike]Vacuum through the living room, hall and stairs[/strike]:o Even used shake n vac.
Level 2
Dusting, even if around everything Didnt get this done
[strike]Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe [/strike]:o DH was adamant he couldnt walk up the stairs without the obstacles
Clean windows and all glass.. including the tv screen Didn't get to all the glass, still some bits left in the lounge.
[strike]
Clear the mantel and only put back the items which are supposed to be there.. and that doesn't include letters, keys or other treasure!
[/strike] It looks very bare now-I think I need to get some photo frames:undecided
Level 3
[strike]
Open a drawer.. sort the junk within!
[/strike] I assume this was one drawer-I still need to do the "junk drawer" in the kitchen.
[strike]
15 minutes sort of the junk on the landing!:o
[/strike]
Hung everything on an overdoor hanger
[strike]Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself:o[/strike] Bit of a toughee considering my fall yesterday,but I managed as far as the eye can see.
Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks – I opted to do stuff from the beginners email from flylady, so my sink (and all that goes with it).

Also did some reading from the frozen foods guide

1. name all the school garments!!
2. Wipe down any paintwork that needs it.
3. Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!! :j :j :j
4. Wash any cushions, throws or curtains that need it

Had words with DH last night about all this-he came home and threw his jeans on the dresser and socks n jocks on the floor-then he put his WET gym clothes in the laundry hamper. All I did was pick it up after him and he went off at me about thinking Im perfect now. I tried to explain that no, but over the last few days Ive realised that if I pick up straight after its easier. My house has been stunning. He laughed in my face and said he wishes his life was as easy as talking to a bunch of other people who also dont feel like doing what they have to!

It ended up with me in tears and him feeling a little guilty I think-LO woke up at 4am and DH got up with him and lt me sleep.

It wont keep me from trying as much as I like-this system obviouisly works for me and Im sure in time he'll come to believe that this is now a "new leaf".
I just wanted to find out if any of you have had similar discussions?
Still catching up on the thread (You were all rather busy after I left yesterday:) )
