Weekly Flylady Thread 8th September 2008

Flylady_Flower

Have done loads of paperwork related stuff today - sorting finances, etc, and was going to go for a little sleep, but resisted and kept on - so really pleased with what I've achieved and have found out that another £500 off debts last month :j , so getting better...:D

Also, just had a call from DS college to say can we make sure we get to the presentation evening tonight as DS has been nominated... :eek:

Can't believe it as we went through hell last year with him playing up and he nearly got turfed out, but he really turned it around and passed with flying colours and got his diploma. I was so proud of him but can't believe he may get an award too... I will be a wreck now - fingers crossed for him... Will let you know later this evening.

So, I'd better go have a shower and get dressed (yes, have been sitting at the desk in slippers and dressing gown all day, but have had the window open for some fresh air... don't know why that would count though, hehe)

Will update my list later - take care all...

PS: G&B - what a complete a*se he was - glad you stood up for yourself, my hubby would have done the same, actually, he probably wouldn't have made it to the sign... :rotfl:

AnWs mum - thanks for your input. I need to get details of her contract I think.

hex - As I have no idea about her sick pay details in her contract I'll need to talk to her. Thank you for the details about SSP - it's all a minefield isn't it!!!!

I'll get back to you when I have more information and thank you so much.

Off work again today, well this morning anyway, got a builder coming round to give a quote re the leaking roof. (cheers Pigpen for recommendation).

Got tons to do so best get on will keep popping back throughout the day.

Eldest DD bit better today through seriously terrified that the world will end......I'm being serious, she's really frightened. Not helped by GMTV saying that the world will end.:mad:

I just hope she can shift her thinking abit today whilst she's at school.

Anyway toodles for now.x

Hope T is ok... I don't THINK we are dead... I knew it woudn't be... didn't I tell you all.. though in 3 months time when they run it at full power instead of 20% we might be!! lol

And a pleasure.. perks of having a hubby in building trade!

In the big clearout yesterday I unearthed a copy of David Allen's "How to Get Things Done" that I vaguely remember buying just before Christmas. Now all I need is a book called "How to Find the Time to Read "How to Get Things Done""...

DEscribe myself in 3 words.. absolutely.. F***ing.. knackered!!!!!!!!!! PMSL..

I walked up 7 flights of stairs.. twice.. it was quicker than the queue for the lift!
I walked across town to get a boots meal deal with my points because hubby stole my bank card and I had no money
I was up at half 6 due to my 2 hours nap yesterday evening

I have OT turning up at 4, 2 children to pick up also at 4 and a front room like a bomb site...

I wonder if I could get away with shutting the door and taking them into my empty middle room??? lol

10 minutes...

The plan..

Empty poo tray.. damn.. no cat litter... scoop out poop.. send DD1 for litter when she gets in.

Sling everything from front room in to a box and hide it.. whizz vacuum about!

10 minutes... *yawn* .. I won't be getting much done!

pigpen

Ah.. there may well be a God after all... OT just rang and she is running about half an hour late so.. I can whizz through the front room AND have a cuppa!

I've done the same thing will ask Mr TA to go and get some litter once he's come home from work and we've finished watching the match (also might get some reduced stuff if we go at that time of night)

So today:

Put clothes and clothes horses away
Vaccummed bedroom
Swept and mopped kitchen floor (wasn't able yesterday)
Tidied and dusted bedrom
Cleaned bedroom window
Put stuff out to recycling
Still hoping to do the cats tray later

cha97michelle ~~~ no thanks your son sounds far to much for me to handle!!, good luck with the cot mending.

Pigpen~~~ I am sure the OT, is there to see the children and you, not to inspect your flying, and lists!! good luck as well, if she says anything, just give her the duster / mop /hoover and tell her to get cleaning, she will soon go!!

I am now even more annoyed, I popped in to see if maybe the 'scheduled maintainence' was finished and here are you all, been posting all day. I've been getting the 'forum closed 8am -9pm' message instead of the forum all day!!! Guess there was just a few of us as hex and Johanne posted on the facebook page too.

Michelle, have you got a bed for him? Might be an ideal time to move him from his cot. We did that with DS2, he was about 20 months and couldn't actually walk yet but didn't have much of a choice when he broke something on it.

Hope the OT goes well pigpen

Ds2s clinic appointment went as expected, no change on this meds so they're giving him 6 weeks off it then try something else. I am starting to wonder if any of these wonder drugs to help reduce bed wetting actually work.

I've missed a conference already, I'd crossed the wrong date out in my diary when they were rearranged, first thing I knew was a 'where were you' email, oops. Have several meetings and conferences in now, calendar is getting rather full up!

Haven't done too much in way of housework, helped DP clean the cars, 2 loads laundry, went to get a seperate HD to 'clean up' the computers especially so I can reboot one completely, took DS2 to his appointment, cooked meals and filled/emptied DW but that's about all so far. DS2s football and cycling group tonight so won't get much done then either......oh well, always tomorrow
