Weekly Flylady Thread 25th August 2008

Nicki - I feel for you. I found moth egg cases on the carpet in my wardrobe a couple of months ago. As I have floorboards everywhere else upstairs I took the carpet up and threw it out, and then had to wash or dry clean pretty much all my clothes, linen etc. I've now put down hardboard and vinyl tiles on the wardrobe floor, and have pheromone traps for the moths. The dry cleaning bill for all my work suits was phenomenal :mad:

Today's list...

Monday Melee - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
[strike]Vacuum through the living room, hall and stairs[/strike]
Level 2
[strike]Dusting, even if around everything [/strike]
[strike]Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe [/strike]
[strike]Clean windows and all glass.. including the tv screen
[/strike] It's all still clean from last time!! (And no TV to do...)
[strike]Wash any soft furnishings that need it[/strike] They don't need it (I did check:D)
Level 3
[strike]Open a drawer.. sort the junk within![/strike] No drawers, so cleaned out a bookcase - lots of spiders and dead woodlice lurking behind the books!
[strike]15 minutes sort of the junk on the landing![/strike] None there!!!
[strike]Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself[/strike]
Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –

1. [strike]Water and wipe any plants [/strike]
2. [strike]Wipe down any paintwork that needs it. [/strike]
3. [strike]Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!! [/strike]
4. [strike]Clear out the cupboard under the stairs[/strike] Don't have one!

P.S Good luck holly. It's not as bad as some people make out - a bit undignified and uncomfortable, but its over quickly and nowhere near as unpleasant as the consequences of not doing it. Well done for giving in to the nagging.

:mad::mad: Rant alert - look away now if you're squeamish:mad::mad:

Why are some people so pompous and so up their own derriers they make me want to murder them - and me a law abiding, gentle gal at heart?

:mad::mad: Rant off :mad::mad:

Right - now that's off my chest I need to brush my teeth, stick the dishwasher on and try and get to sleep ready for work in the morning.

Wish me luck ladies - I'm so wound up right now I think sleep maybe a tad difficult...

What's wrong Soappie?

**GRRR*** Pigpen I don't need a reminder! 121 days, my god it doesn't seem like 2 minutes since the last one, probably because we haven't had a 'summer' yet.
Michelle, makes a nice change for you to have a call like that rather than he'll be late, hope you say you've enjoyed your evening.
Valli a big hug for you, those type of things noone should have to put up with.
Oh no, please, no Christmas cup, I am way too competative and still in the dog house after the last one. All that said, I'm in if we do! (I'm sure noone will object)
G&B we have a guy comes swimming who uses a brace, he steam cleans his, wonder if that would be suitable for your DDs?
nicki, the flea stuff I got, RIP fleas is supposed to be good at getting rid of those. I think it kills just about any bugs, as we found with the woodlice (didn't know we had a problem with them until I used it!) I got it off a pet website via quidco.

Got the LR done. DP went out, got drunk, came home, ate bbq I cooked, went to sleep and now he's up getting on my nerves. DSs still rattling around, grr! Everyones trying to annoy me today, actually maybe it's just me being a bit tetchy.

Valli

ooh that's interesting!

Have just checked bank account and exH has upped his payment to me (by a whole £2) since he doesn't talk to me (goodness knows why... we agreed to separate and it has nothing to do with the girlfriends and I don't know why it's gone up!) It doesn't match with CSA assessment either...

Well, I will wait and see...

Valli

Have just spotted mark on carpet in hall (where PC/study area is so (***hopes PP isn't looking because that's another job already done***) wanders off to get cloth and stardrops...

Valli

Hee hee mark gone! Thank you STARDROPS!

Doesn't she? - hope everything is ok in Soappieland

And I'm glad I'm not the only member of the Bah Humbug brigade

***thinks ... now what can I do with an extra £2 a week;) ***

Valli

Spots that that was 4 in a row ... wanders off to look at Stardrops and baskets threads...because has promised not to do any runs!

Valli

Well!
I can't beleeeeeeve it!!!

Not a flylady in sight!

(where is MoF77? hope she's ok!)

So I'm off because I said I would not go for a 'spree'!

See you all tomorrow!
